Hmm Azureus Torrentz.
What the hell is seeders and wtf is peers?
Been googling for an hour for the answer. I give up.
Someone please tell me what it is?

Azeurus is a client for downloading/seeding torrent files.
Personally I use Utorrent. Low on resources and does everything I want it to.
Just look up "bittorrent" and there should be plenty of information about it.
Say you download a film from a bittorrent site you will also upload parts of it to other people at the same time - that is known as seeding. Another form of seeding is to create a torrent file yourself (using Azeurus) and upload it to a torrent site.
Some torrent sites (mainly private ones such as Demonoid for instance) require a ratio to be maintained to prevent leechers. Therefore if a film is 700Mb you may be expected to maintain a ratio of 1 therefore you will need to upload 700Mb.
Give me a shout on msn - I have a good link for a seeding tutorial that covers all the major bittorrent clients (might not be on for some time though as my ISP has phooked my connection and they are such a bunch of retards at getting it fixed).
