Leeches
An application can also join a space as a leech, without contributing any of its host's resources to the scalability of the space, and without experiencing any limitation in functionality or in its ability to use the space. A leech (as opposed to a seeder) is a peer of the space that is not considered by the distribution algorithm and therefore can join or leave the space without causing redistribution of the data.
