leecher


it refers to the act of giving yet providing nothing of substance in return, as it is named after the parasitic organism a leech.

leecher can be applied practially to peer to peer file sharing protocols, or networks (bittorrent, kazza fast track, gnutella}, in which the leecher consumes bandwidth by downloading, yet has no will to upload or give back to a community.

particularly in bittorrent, leechers are not actually increasing their performance, but possibly are decreasing it.
i know a leecher who in order to acheive maximum network thourough-output restricts uploading while bittorrenting.
leeching is when you download via a torrent or any other intarweb shareprogram, without giving any upload back.

leeching is especially harmfull to the bittorrent network (sucking all the bandwith away)
f-cking h-ll! the half life 2 torrent is full of leechers!!1!!1
someone who takes a lot and doesn’t give much
dang, bob leeched me 10 cigs at the party and he had a full pack!
a leecher is a person on some type of internet community (torrent, forums, ect.) who downloads as they please and never contributes back to that community. often characterized by low post counts or having nothing in their shared folder. leechers steal a network’s bandwidth with downloads and potentially can cause it to lag. derived (obviously) from the parasite with many similarities to a leecher.

noun; unwanted friend who leeches all of your other friends. when one friend has a good catch-phrase or joke the leecher jumps all over it and takes it for himself/herself.

i told this joke about giving a nasty dragon and the next day i hear dumb-ss say the same one. what a f-ckin leecher.
someone who acts so cool like a programmer, but is indeed just using his copy-and-paste ability, taking code from the web without helping others. if he can’t finish something on his own, he’ll begin spamming all forums for an answer… and then will release his “own” application.
someone whose abilities are usually not so good, and keeps exploiting someone else’s effort without any care-to-share his code
he’s not a programmer, he’s just a leecher
an -sshole who will take some hits when he didnt even throw up some coin.
ronny is such a f-ckin leecher, he wasted my chronic.
