   A leecher is somebody who downloads documents under the BitTorrent protocol but does not upload any. The BitTorrent protocol is a file-sharing scheme that is free to use. File distributing is not illicit as long as the proprietor of the copyright of the document does not object to it being made a replicate by others.
   BitTorrent
   A leecher exact replicates documents from other ones through a BitTorrent client. Anyone who has a purchaser established on his computer is adept to communicate other ones with a alike purchaser and exact duplicate files. Users manage not have to subscribe to a document server. The communicate between uploaders and downloaded is mediated by a tracker. The uploaders notify the tracker for a specific document of their location. Downloaders communicate the tracker to find the positions of exact replicates of the file. The downloader then associates the uploader directly.
   Method
   The computer client does not get engaged in connecting to the other users of the system. That work is presented mechanically by the torrent client. The purchaser gets the data about a document and its position from a torrent file. Users find torrent documents through records directories.
   Terminology
   A document accessible for making a duplicate in the BitTorrent scheme is called a "torrent." An uploader is called a "seeder"; he sees the torrent, or fundamentally boasts the document for upload himself -- the kernel -- in order that other ones can advantage from his kernel document being encompassed in the torrent. The BitTorrent scheme splits up large documents into blocks. Once a downloader has downloaded even one impede he becomes a source for other ones to exact duplicate that impede even though he hasn't completed downloading the whole file. Such a individual -- that is, somebody who is simultaneously downloading and uploading components of the identical document -- is called a "peer." After a document has absolutely downloaded it mechanically swaps to being a kernel while it continues recorded in the client. If the client deletes the torrent from the purchaser (while holding the downloaded file) he is termed a "leech" or a "leecher" because he did not permit other ones to use his kernel like he utilised somebody else's kernel to download the document he just downloaded.
   Fair Play
   There is not anything to halt any individual being a leech. There is no ostracise put on those who only exact duplicate from other ones without assisting documents to others. However, the more kernels that are accessible for a document, the simpler it is to download, and so BitTorrent etiquette anticipates that each downloader will manage other ones the favor they were themselves accorded and boost the accessibility of the torrent. The torrent purchaser display the ratio of upload to download by that client for each document listed in the client. If that number is less than one, the client has taken more than he has given. If the ratio is higher than one, the client has finished a service to his young individual users.
