Leopold Godowsky plays Chopin, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt and Grieg
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)

Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938) was considered by his peers to be the greatest pianist of them all. Critic Harold Schonberg said that "in independence of hands, equality of fingers, ability to juggle polyphonic strands, and general pianistic finish, [Godowsky] may have been unique in keyboard history." His best playing was reserved for those who visited his home. Josef Hofmann once told student Abram Chasins after an evening of Godowsky's playing, "Never forget what you heard tonight, never lose the memory of that sound. There is nothing like it in the world."Yet his recordings have had mixed reviews; he was not comfortable with the recording environment of the times and it was only his later recordings that showed the range of color and tone at his disposal.My favorites include the Grieg Ballade which Godowsky recorded after having consulted with Grieg himself. It is surely the definitive recording of the Ballade. The sumptuous Schubert-Godowsky pieces show his warmth and contrapuntal mastery. Then there is the Chopin E Major Scherzo which is my favorite performance of this piece. A sad note here is that immediately after he played his heart out in the Scherzo, Godowsky suffered a stroke which ended his career. It was the last time he played in public.These are all live performances, not piano rolls.Chopin Waltz No. 5 in A-Flat, Op. 42 (recorded 1916)Chopin Impromptu in A-Flat, Op. 29 (recorded 1921)Chopin-Liszt Chant Polonais No. 5 (recorded 1922)Chopin Etudes in G-Flat (recorded September 1926)Schubert-Godowsky Morgengruss and Gute Nacht (recorded September 1926)Verdi/Liszt Rigoletto Paraphrase (recorded September 1926)Schubert-Tausig March Militaire (recorded 1927)Chopin Waltz No. 7 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 64-2 (recorded 1928)Chopin Nocturnes (recorded June 1928)Beethoven Piano Sonata in E-Flat, Op. 81a, "Les adieux" (recorded May 1929)Grieg Ballade in G Minor, Op.24 (recorded May 1929)Chopin Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op.35 (recorded April 1930)Chopin Scherzo No. 4 in E Major, Op.54 (recorded June 1930)all mp3s encoded @ 320 kbpshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Godowsky
