What do _you_ call people who always take and never reciprocate?
"Clever"? In the torrent realm, they're called "leechers" (vs.
"seeders"), and leeches are, I believe, bloodsuckers by another

Ideally, they would do the job and also tell you exactly what
they are doing, so that you might understand the relation. But
the whole rationale behind a GUI is to insulate you from inner
workings, to enable operation in ignorance.
