Nuts and Volts Magazine Jan 2004 - Nov 2007
A downloads is the number of how many times the torrent has been downloaded according to its tracker record
A seeder is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections who do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. The term leech, however, can be used simply to describe a peer - or any client that does not have 100% of the data
A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that other clients connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it, however, peer can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, also known as a client). Note that the colloquial definition of peer is anybody, leech or seed, involved in a torrent
A health (or avaiability) the number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seeder adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability, if no other peer has this part of the file. (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653, when two peers who both have the same 50% of the file downloaded and there is one seeder the availability is 1.5)

Nuts and Volts 2004-2007
Jan 2004 - Nov 1007 + Extracts
Q: What is Nuts & Volts?
A: The first issue of Nuts & Volts was published in 1980.
It was originally designed as a newsprint, all advertising publication that was mostly given away.
Over the next few years, the magazine continued to grow in readership and advertising, however, not much changed until
February 1992 when NV was changed to a tabloid format and started to make the shift to a more content-oriented publication.
New editorial features were added along with monthly columns and projects for electronics DIYers.
Since then, it has grown into one of the most popular and relevant magazines for the electronics hobbyist in the nation.
Beginning with the January 2003 issue, Nuts & Volts was reformatted from a tabloid size back to a standard magazine size.
NV now averages about 100 pages and is printed on high-quality paper in full color.
Nuts & Volts is the leading magazine for those seriously interested in electronics.
There now remain only a few magazines written for the electronics community with Nuts & Volts being the highest readership, longest running electronics publication left in the US today.
And we still have readers and advertisers that have been with us since the early 80s.
Nuts & Volts is written for the hands-on hobbyist, design engineer, technician, and experimenter.
The diversity of subjects appeals to all levels of experience and spans such topics as amateur robotics, circuit design, lasers, computer control, home automation, microcontrollers, data acquisition, new technology, DIY projects, electronic theory, and more, not to mention the popular BASIC Stamp.
