They allow others, \u201cthe leechers,\u201d to download their content<strong>. Um \"leecher\" nunca tem uma c\u00f3pia completa do conte\u00fado, mas est\u00e1 sempre em vias de o descarregar.\u00a0<\/strong>Quando (e se) um \"leecher\" completa o descarregamento e come\u00e7a a partilhar (carregar o conte\u00fado), torna-se um \"seeder\".\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Leecher\" class=\"wp-image-19242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent-1536x878.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Leecher_Torrent.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A palavra \"leecher\" \u00e9 frequentemente utilizada num sentido sarc\u00e1stico ou degradante para designar os utilizadores que apenas recebem sem dar nada em troca. Assim, um \"leecher\" tem sempre a possibilidade de limpar a sua reputa\u00e7\u00e3o infame e tornar-se um \"seeder\" apenas se devolver (partilhar) ao enxame de torrents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mas&nbsp;<strong>se esse utilizador encerrar a torrent (paus\u00e1-la ou remov\u00ea-la do cliente de torrent) depois de ter sido totalmente descarregada para o seu disco, o utilizador que a est\u00e1 a ler continua a ser um utilizador que a est\u00e1 a ler.<\/strong>&nbsp;De certa forma, um \"leecher\" \u00e9 injusto porque n\u00e3o est\u00e1 a participar na manuten\u00e7\u00e3o da torrent viva para todos. Deixar o torrent swarm (ou desconectar a torrent) deixa todos os outros com menos chances de obter o conte\u00fado completo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1ddfa\"><em><strong>Um facto interessante! <\/strong><\/em>O termo leecher refere-se a<em>&nbsp;o verme parasita - a sanguessuga. A sanguessuga tem ventosas em ambas as extremidades e perfura a pele para se fixar no hospedeiro e sugar e alimentar-se de sangue. Uma vez satisfeita com o sangue consumido, a sanguessuga separa-se do seu hospedeiro. Al\u00e9m disso, o termo sanguessuga tamb\u00e9m tem sido utilizado na cultura para designar um parasita social com uma gan\u00e2ncia insaci\u00e1vel.

Por que \u00e9 que os \"lixiviadores\" ainda s\u00e3o importantes?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Devido a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/blog\/torrenting-and-torrent-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">como funcionam as torrents<\/a>Quando se descarrega uma torrent, tamb\u00e9m se est\u00e1 simultaneamente a partilhar (carregar) a parte do conte\u00fado que j\u00e1 se descarregou com \u00eaxito. Assim, basicamente, ao descarregar a torrent, toda a gente \u00e9, a dada altura, um \"leecher\". S\u00e3o os utilizadores com uma c\u00f3pia incompleta do ficheiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O leeching \u00e9 altamente desencorajado no rastreador p\u00fablico e, especialmente, nas comunidades de rastreadores privados, pois acaba levando a torrent a morrer. Se todos estiverem a fazer leeching (n\u00e3o retribuir), chegar\u00e1 um ponto em que n\u00e3o haver\u00e1 seeders e, portanto, ningu\u00e9m poder\u00e1 obter uma c\u00f3pia completa da torrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quando os lechers evoluem para seeders, o que significa que t\u00eam a c\u00f3pia completa e s\u00f3 ficam no enxame de torrents para carregar o conte\u00fado para os restantes, tornam-se vitais para fazer crescer e tornar mais saud\u00e1vel um enxame de torrents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"03\">3.
