A confusing thing about bittorrent is that "leech" is used as both a technical term, meaning a peer that is not currently seeding (even if it has uploaded more than it has downloaded), and as a pejorative social term (mostly by those who seem to feel that the bittorrent protocol's built-in tit-for-tat is insufficient to make the protocol work). I'm fairly sure that rtorrent is using it in the former sense. -- see shy jo
