Actually the vast majority of "leechers" are people who download a file without in turn uploading that file to a ratio of 1:1 rather than someone who downloads without uploading at all. In most instances they will simply stop uploading once the download is complete, however whilst they are downloading they are also uploading. Generally this is referred to as a hit a run and the person doing it is referred to as a leech.
That is different to not uploading anything at all which in reality extremely few people do.
