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)

Note: Unlike other torrent indexes we find more trackers for a torrent and put them sorted by seeders into the torrent upon every download. This should improve download speed. Extra trackers marked with '+' sign. If you have problems with this then let us know.

This torrent is a Matroska container (MKV file) with H.264 codec
video and DTS multichannel audio.
That's good for watching on a computer, but usually not so
compatible to e.g. stand-alone media players.
Here are the commands I used to convert this to a more compatible
AVI container with XviD codec video and MP3 audio. Maybe it will
be useful to somebody. Using two free open source tools available
to both Windows, Linux and other.
I did this as two steps, first step mainly to change container,
and audio channels, and second step to go to XviD and reduce the
file size and frame size.
The frame size change (-vf scale -zoom -xy 640) is not necessary, and
the final video bit rate (1000) could maybe better be increased to
preserve quality, but the result by below commands is not bad at all.
This is just one way to do it. Probably the two steps can be combined
by a different combination of all the many available options.

Can't understand why one would want to have it in avi rather then mkv. To view mkv-files use the 'combined community codec pack' <a href="/redirect?http://www.cccp-project.net/">http://www.cccp-project.net/</a> It will install all codecs you need and 'Media Player Classic'. The settings can be hard for newbs to undestand but it's configured for standard usage so no need to change them unless you know what you want.
To Simmek:
You know of many stand alone DVD players that will play MKV files? My DVD player and PS3 both play XviD and DivX. Thats why, in the absence of a full DVD5 or DVD9 rip AVI is preferred for a lot of people, myself included, who don't have a PC hooked up to their AV set up.
For those of you having issues viewing or getting a player to view it ... I suggest getting the matroska codec pack and use real alternative player as a view both together have never failed me in any format d/led , I also have installed the allin1 codec pack , which you can find any of these just by searching the net with the names I posted here . Hope this helps anyone .
The quality is great, but unfortunately the subtitles cannot be removed, the MKV format allows subtitles to be hidden or visible but here they are recorded into the video. I had french subtitles, now if I want to use them I must put them on the English subs. Not that bad but I would have preferred that the subs would have the option to be hidden.
Thanks anyway, very good quality!
