leech
(jargon) | leech
1. n. (Also leecher.) Among BBS types, crackers and warez d00dz, one who
consumes knowledge without generating new software, cracks, or techniques.
BBS culture specifically defines a leech as someone who downloads files
with few or no uploads in return, and who does not contribute to the
message section. Cracker culture extends this definition to someone (a {
lamer}, usually) who constantly presses informed sources for information
and/or assistance, but has nothing to contribute. See troughie.
2. v. [common, Toronto area] v. To download a file across any kind of
internet link. “Hop on IRC later so I can leech some MP3s from you.” Used
to describe activities ranging from FTP, to IRC DCC-send, to ICQ file
requests, to Napster searches (but never to downloading email with file
attachments; the implication is that the download is the result of a browse
or search of some sort of file server). Seems to be a holdover from the
early 1990s when Toronto had a very active BBS and warez scene. Synonymous
with snarf (sense 2), and contrast snarf (sense 4).
