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)

PBS "Who Killed the Electric Car?" The film looks at the hopeful birth and untimely death of the electric car, an environmentally-friendly, cost-saving salvation to some, but a profit barrier to others.
In a film that has all the elements of a murder mystery, Paine points the finger at car companies, the oil industry, bad ad campaigns, consumer wariness, and a lack of commitment from the U.S. government.
"[The film] is about why the only kind of cars that we can drive run on oil. And for a while there was a terrific alternative, a pure electric car," Paine said.
In 1996, General Motors (G.M.) launched the first modern-day commercially available electric car, the EV1. The car required no fuel and could be plugged in for recharging at home and at a number of so-called battery parks.
Many of the people who leased the car, including a number of celebrities, said the car drove like a dream.
"...the EV1 was a high performer. It could do a U-turn on a dime; it was incredibly quiet and smooth. And it was fast. I could beat any Porsche off the line at a stoplight. I loved it," Actress, Alexandra Paul told NOW.
After California regulators saw G.M.s electric car in the late 1980s, they launched a zero-emissions vehicle program in 1990 to clean up the state's smoggy skies.
Under the program, two percent of all new cars sold had to be electric by 1998 and 10 percent by 2003.

This is not the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?" by Sony Pictures - it' PBS San Dieago Coverage of the movie and interview with director.ORPBS NOW - 2006.06.09 - Who Killed The Electric Car (TVRip.SoS)
judging by the size and the runtime, this is not the documentary. I haven't DL'd it, but the documentary is 92 minutes. this is only the interview with the director that was broadcast on PBS. the description should have been clear about that. for shame.
Who killed the electric car? Technology killed the electric car, battery capacity was not enough to propell the car for more than about 50-60 miles per charge and then required a 3 hour recharge. If the public demanded a clean car they would get one, but they would have to make sacrifices that they won't face up to, this includes hippies.
the electric car as it was, was intended for urban dwelling people who drove short distances in town were you never need to go faster than 60 in the first place. peddle stupid comments somewhere else

short distances, thats a fantasy. most people do not go out and buy a car that fits their minimum needs. or else why would any suvs/trucks get sold? they buy cars and trucks that suit them for their once a week trips, once a month trips and even once a year trips. at best the ev1 would be a second car for upper middle class green folk, and if sold at its real price even they would probably balk at the price. whats wrong with the documentary is the conspiracy mongering. if gm sold the vehicle they would be obligated by law to support it with parts and service for 10 years. expensive money drain for an unviable vehicle. simple fact is no green european country with their high tech car companies jumped on this. does the conspiracy include them too? the early ones used hideous lead acide batteries that lasted a few years at best, pretty sad stuff. reality killed the electric car.
That was really interesting! It even came with air conditioning!!! One thing to keep in mind; much of the electric power in the US is coal-powered. Coal produces the nastiest and greatest amounts of greenhouse gases.
This isn't the actual documentary, but a PBS interview with it's creator. Even though it's not the movie, it's still an interesting view, they go in depth into some of the topics discussed in the movie. It's about a 26 minute program.
