Here you have a list of most important words associated with BitTorrent and their meanings.
Torrent: It is a small file only a few kb and .torrent extension that contains information about the file you want to download, not the file itself. Torrent contains information such as name, size, etc., also is through this torrent tracker connects to a user with others.
Peer or leechers (clients): These are users who are downloading a file bittorrents, but not yet they have it completely. Peers up and down parts of a file until you complete or cancel.
Seed (Seed) is a user that has a complete copy of a certain torrent. When you finish a download and not for sharing, then you are making seed or seeding. When someone shares a file, you have to make seed, and while not complete other users, he will be the only seed. A seed only go up, not down that file.
Tracker: it is an Internet server that acts to connect customers who are raising or lowering a given file. For a tracker connect to users is required (in most tracker) upload the torrent to the tracker. The Tracker does not contain the files, only connects users that have parts of that file.
Downloading: receive data from another user.
Uploading: send data to another user
Distributed copies (copies distributed): the seed are complete copies of the file, but it is possible that among all peers, if we put all parts of the file, there is more than a full copy. It is a very important information if you're downloading a file that has no seed.
