I see 3 leechers but nothing has been downloaded so far.That's the biggest problem with using BiTorrent to distribute less popular files. Seeders are needed otherwise it's a complete waste of time.
Someone could be super-seeding (appears as a leecher, but whenever a block is requested from them, they always have it... prevents them from getting hammered by new leechers who see them as the only seeder and so ask for everything from them). You never know until you try to download and then stall out at the same % level as everybody else.
