I use them interchangeably, but more often I'll refer to the property of the torrent as "Seeds" (as in, that torrent has 82 seeds), and the specific person/people as "Seeders" (as in, that seeder is unconnectible).

seed i think is the process of transferring the data, an act (verb) whereas seeders are the one's doing this act.
seed is also another word for semen (in the meaning sperm too), if you didn't know :lol:

I've always thought of seeds as complete copies i.e. if there are 30 seeders and 70 leechers making 100 peers, where the 70 leechers had 10 complete copies amongst them, there would be 30 seeders but 40 seeds.
Except, I don't know of any clients that report a partial seeder (or a collection of) as a seeder server-side. On the client side of things, sure, it even reports 100%, but to the other people in the swarm, they appear as people who simply have a part. It's why uTorrent has two columns "Availability" and "Seeds". You may be right, I may be wrong, but from my side of things this is what it seems to be, at the very least.Quote:

With that hopefully settled can we all now get back to more important issues like what's the best encode of Inception?
Thirty replies and still no definitive answer.:cry:
In Vuze the column I refer to is called availability (#Full copies being seen)Quote:
