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)

The Wire is an American television drama set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland . Created by writer/producer and former police reporter David Simon, the series is broadcast by the premium cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire pre miered on June 2, 2002, with 50 episodes airing over the course of its first fou r seasons. HBO has ordered a fifth season, which Simon has said will be the show's last.
The plot of the first season centers on the ongoing struggles between police uni ts and drug-dealing gangs on the west side of the city, and is told from both points of view. Subsequent seasons have focused on other facets of the city. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their oth er roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is "really about the American city, and about how we live together. It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how... whether you're a cop , a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge [or] lawyer, you are ulti mately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you've committed to."
The Wire has received critical acclaim for its realistic portrayal of urban life and uncommonly deep exploration of sociological themes, and has been called the best show on television by TIME, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, the Chicag o Tribune, Slate, the San Francisco Chronicleand the Philadelphia Daily News. De spite the positive reviews, the show has failed to draw a large audience.

I would seed >3 if someone could make a torrent of this quality (or the very good 350mb quality u find @ eztv! ... sadly there`s only the last season still available from tis source) for season 2 + 3.
No my man this torrent is good the qality is very good no problems in That I´ve downloaded and its the Best every ep is 700 MB its perfecT YOU MUST BE MISSING SOME CODECS try the K-Lite Pack just google it
"...Its all in The Game..."
It is not widescreen of coarse, because The Wire was filmed in 4:3. Back in 2001 HD and 16:9 was not common at all and since this went straight onto tv, no theater, it was filmed for TV watchers.
Thanx to the uploader for this, haven't checked quality yet but i am sure from other comments it is 5/5 all around.

I tried to download this and I got an unfriendly e-mail from my ISP. Basically it said that HBO detected activity from my IP that was involved with the transfer of this torrent and its files; they demanded that I cease sharing the files and said they (HBO)might prosecute and my ISP, which I adore, may discontinue my service. This is not the first e-mail like this that I have received - earlier ones were also for downloading HBO material. I don't know what the deal is with HBO files, but they are almost always the reason behind threatening cease and desist e-mails from my ISP. I know before I got burned from downloading The Sopranos and now I get hassled once again for The Wire.
So this is just a warning for anyone out there. If anyone would know exactly what the hell happened and if there is some way to prevent this from occurring again outside of ********** abstinence, I would be grateful to be informed of any remedy to this somewhat serious issue. Thanks.
RedDucky, try PeerGuardian2 to avoid drawing attention to yerself.

Thanks for the show. Quality is nice indeed. The only problem is I'm getting 20KB/s. Not sure who's fault is that cause I see 134 seeders. I have to wait for next episode till tomorrow. Damn.
