What is a Leecher?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand the meaning of leechers, we must also understand their counterpart, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/blog\/what-is-seeding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the seeders<\/a>.\u00a0The seeders are the users on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/blog\/torrenting-and-torrent-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">torrent swarm<\/a> with a full copy of the content. They allow others, \u201cthe leechers,\u201d to download their content<strong>. A leecher never has a complete copy of the content, but it is always in the process of downloading it.\u00a0<\/strong>When (and if) a leecher completes the download and starts sharing (uploading the content), it becomes a 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>The word \u201cleecher\u201d is often used in a sarcastic or degrading sense to relate to such users that only take without giving back. So, a leecher always has the chance to clear its infamous reputation and become a seeder only if it gives back (shares) to the torrent swarm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&nbsp;<strong>if this user shuts down the torrent (pause it or remove it from the torrent client) once it is wholly downloaded into its drive\u2014 the leecher stays a leecher.<\/strong>&nbsp;In a sense, a leecher is unfair because it is not participating in keeping the torrent alive for everybody. Leaving the torrent swarm (or disconnecting the torrent) leaves everybody else with fewer chances of getting the complete content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1ddfa\"><em><strong>S\u1ef1 th\u1eadt th\u00fa v\u1ecb! <\/strong><\/em>The term leecher refers to<em>&nbsp;the parasitic worm \u2014 the leech. The leech has suckers on both ends and pierces the skin to attach to the host to suck and feed on blood. Once a leech is satisfied with consumed blood, it will detach from its host. In addition, the term leechers have also been used in culture to refer to a social parasite with insatiable greed. Outside the blood-sharing and skin-piercing world of bugs, within the torrenting world, a leecher is no different.<\/em> <em>A leecher takes the content with heartless greed and then detaches from the swarm without giving back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"02\">2. Why Are Leechers Still Important?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/blog\/torrenting-and-torrent-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how torrents work<\/a>, when you are downloading a torrent, you are also simultaneously sharing (uploading) the part of the content you have already successfully downloaded. So basically, when downloading the torrent, everybody is a leecher at some point. They are the users with an incomplete copy of the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leeching is highly discouraged in the public tracker and especially in private tracker communities because it eventually leads the torrent to die. If everybody is leeching (not giving back), there will be a point that there won\u2019t be any seeders, and so nobody will be able to obtain a full copy of the torrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once lechers evolve to seeders, meaning that they have the full copy and only stay in the torrent swarm to upload the content for the rest, they become vital to making a torrent swarm grow and be healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"03\">3.
