      Just curious about what a snatch means, and how it differs from the number of Seeds and/or Leeches. Is snatch the total number of unique times that file has been downloaded? That's what I THINK it may be, but I'd be interested to know for sure.

      Was looking around the forum for some sort of terminology page, but didn't find anything. Is there a page that defines all the technical terms used? As a non-techie, I would find such a page interesting.

      Chhers!

        Oh, and, along with technical terms, acronyms used here as well.

          Hahahahaha… I've always thought this term was rather giggle worthy, as a snatch is synonym for vagina.

          Now in the case of this site, when you "snatch" a torrent, you are said to have finished downloading 100% of all the files of the torrent.

            Thanks! It is what I thought it is.

            Is there a terminology definition page somewhere in the Forums?

              Yes… We call it the BitTorrent glossary. It can be found under the Guides section of the forum in the sticky topics. 🙂

                Aha!  Thanks mucho. Sometimes when we look for something and it's right in front of us, we don't see it at all.
