A seed, or a seeder, is someone that has finished downloading the file from BitTorrent. That means that they can allow other downloaders, or leechers, to pull data for that file so they can complete their downloaders and become seeders as well. Seeders are the lifeblood of BitTorrent communities, as they allow for quicker downloads the more seeders there are.
