And if it drops to zero seeders, the download speed drops to zero too – and the torrent will die, either temporarily until someone starts seeding again, or permanently if no one comes back to seed. It’s easy: the less seeders a file has, the slower it downloads.
Technically, everyone leeches a file when they download it, but it’s the people who only leech and don’t seed that the nickname refers to. They simply stop sharing the file from within their client software and go on their way. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of the people that download a file actually continue seeding it after they’re done. Once you’ve finished the file, your client will stop downloading – but continue uploading. The torrent files are split into lots of tiny parts, so even before you finish downloading a file, your torrent client will start uploading the parts of the file that you’ve already downloaded, assuming there are other users downloading it. Of course, it gets a little more complicated than that.

The “seeders” are the users who already have the full file and are uploading it for the “leechers”, who are downloading the file. This means that, rather than downloading from a server or database that is hosting a file, you’re downloading from other users. Torrenting works through something called peer-to-peer downloading.
