That's still long... I was connected to 1 seed at the first day of the update, and it only took me about 45 Mins.

What is a "seeder"?

Post by: Ahriman on July 12, 2006, 12:48:35 am

A seeder is a computer or person connected to a leecher via a .torrent client that has the full file and is sending out data to Leechers. A leecher is a person or computer connected to other leechers and seeders that does not have the full file and wants to "recieve" the data from them via a .torrent client.
