Originally meaning to be able to download without uploading. FPT sites many years ago would often have ratios where people would get a certain amount of downloadable bytes for every byte they uploaded. Sites that did not have ratios were said to be "leech" sites because you could download all you wanted without having to upload. Now a days most FTP sites are "leech" anyway. The term now more refers to any individual who is often into the piracy scene and does nothing but download files for cracked versions of software, movies, music and so on. They do not share what they have downloaded and don't provide help to others looking for certain files.
"Don't leech the entire folder asshole! That is like 200 gigs worth of shit. Let somebody else get on the server for once!"

Get the leech mug.An individual who leaves one region to profit from the economic prosperity of another region. Generally, economy leeches have no marketable skills and and therefore contribute very little to the well being of their new environment. They arrive in droves and their presence usually results in a steep increase in rent prices. Economy leeches usually appear disoriented in traffic, and can be identified by their out-of-province license plates and their constant whining about social problems, which they themselves have caused.
In Alberta, economy leeches are sometimes called Buffalo Hunters, in reference to the 19th European settlers who raped and pillaged the bison population of the prairie provinces for their precious hides.

Get the Fleur de Lèche mug.I was buzzed by 8, tipsy by 8:30, then I skipped drunk, wasted, smashed, and throwed and went right to hammered. I was completely leached by midnight. I don't even remember drilling the hostess or driving to Lafayette. One more shot and I would've been dead.

Get the leached mug.The head of navigation of the River Thames, and about four miles from Fairford. A really cool place to grow up in, and learn how to drink beer. We had a motorcycle race circuit from Cox's Service Station where I used to work, down the High Street, around the bend by the church, right into Sherborne Street and back to Cox's. In the summer, we drank beer by the side of the River Thames. In the winter we drank beer or cider in the Swan Inn, and sometimes in the Red Lion. Incidently, the landlord of the Red Lion at the time was one Douggie Wainright, who later in life got shot dead by Michael Ryan in the Hungerford Massacre.
We went to Lechlade the other day to drink some beer. Ces puked up all over the Red Lion carpet while Raz poured his beer over the landlords shoes.

Girl: "Who's that guy you brought to the party? He seems cool and interesting."
Guy: "He wants you to think that. He's just a personality-leech."
Girl: "How lame. Nevermind."
