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)

Based on the cult novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob, a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a touching and whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart.
This is my first DVD rip. Let me know about anything about any quality issues or other suggestions. --Praetor_810
It doesn't work on the PS3 because I didn't encode this for the PS3. It's a DVD rip to XVID with mp3VBR audio (exactly as the filename says). It's for playing on a computer. If that's not what you want, don't download it. I don't know what format is necessary for playing on the PS3. I really don't care. I don't own a PS3 and I never will. If your setup requires specific formats, download appropriately. If you're using bittorrent to get movies you might as well get a media computer hooked up to your television so there are no issues with encoding or formats. But if you want to stick to your PS3, look for full DVD copies. They're easy to spot, they're not ~700MB. If you could figure out exactly what you're looking for that would make you a 1000x better leech.
It's easy to complain about something, but have you uploaded any torrents?
I'm also not a 'move releaser'. I simply ripped a movie I had because someone I know wanted it on their laptop. It happens to be a movie that is several years old and has probably made it around bittorrent many times over. I figured I'd share it just in case anyone else wanted it.
There's also no subs and I don't know how to find them. This file is offered 'as is'. My DVD doesn't contain subs and even if it did I would've stripped them out. It works exactly as intended. It plays on the computer and as far as I've noticed, there's no file corruption.
can anyone tell me why when i download this, i'm only getting the audio? this has happened on a few movies i've tried to download. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks. :)
It sounds like your computer lacks the proper codec. Video files can be encoded a variety of different ways. I encoded this file as an XVID. You can get the proper codec here:

DivX is another popular codec used. You can get that here:
<a href="/redirect?http://www.divx.com/">http://www.divx.com/</a>
Don't bother installing the player, the toolbar or any other nonsense. Just select the codec for installation.
If you have Vista you should also search Google for a "Vista codec pack".
You can learn a lot about codecs if you search Google for "video codec".
Wiki also has a good page about codecs:

Thankz for the upload haven't seen this movie since my vcr quit working, can't find it on dvd anywhere. Great movie....
For the ps3 owners download "dvdsanta" and convert the .avi to dvd format then burn to a dvd (if you don't have a burner crawl out from under the rock and get one)
