In computing, particularly in the context of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks and torrenting, a "leecher" refers to a user who downloads files from other users but does not share or upload those files back to the network. This term is often used to describe individuals who take advantage of the resources made available by "seeders," who are users that upload and share files.
