    Seeds are people with 100% of the thing your downloading.
    Peers are the people who dont have 100% (you still download/upload to them)
    Downspeed/Upspeed is your donwload/upload rate
    ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival
    Ratio is the download/upload ratio. Sometimes, if you have a poor ratio (ie you've taken lots more data than you have shared) your downspeed is capped.
