bit torrents

[happy hammer]

please can anyone help me. i have downloaded a bit torrent and was wondering what is ment by a leech, health and the other thing with leech. any help would be good many thanks

basically the lower the health or the more leeches, means the worse copy will be and longer it will take to download

if you have downloaded it then why worry ?
low health = not many seeders
leechers are people like you or me dl'ing.we can piggy back the leechers but they do not hold all of the available file.
