However, peers still share whatever part of the data they already downloaded with other peers who might be missing that part (the file itself is fragmented into tiny pieces that are then shared).seeders are people already done with their download but are still uploading the data (which is their civic duty). Peer (also called leecher) is the same thing, except they don’t have the complete file yet. As far as the seeders and leecher are concerned, Seeder is a person who has a torrent file open in their client (let’s say the same file you are trying to download) and the only difference between you and them is that they have the complete file downloaded already and are now “seeding” – sharing the file with peers but not downloading any parts of the file from others. The more is this number, the more download speed you will get. of leeches participating on the torrent you are trying to download.
