A freeloader according to the dictionary is " someone who takes advantage of the generosity of others" Nothing is said about giving back in the long or short term, but along with the word leech it is used usually (thought the latter not in Bittorrent circles) as a term of abuse. We can beat the word around looking for different meanings, and I freely admit to possibly not understanding the word correctly. My meaning was as a taker with no intention of giving back. Aaaron and Foolofthehill have a different idea of the word (I would rather use the term "non sharers"), and given what they understand by it I agree entirely with Aarons post.
