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.
