What Does Seeders and Leechers Mean?

Seed vs Leecher
The difference between Seed and Leecher is that seed downloads the complete files and also leaves their torrent links open for others to download from whereas leechers are the ones who download or are downloading the files from the torrent links given by the seeders.

How many seeders and leechers are good?

Very simply it's because seeders don't download while their upload capacity is available for the leechers. Many people understand these basics. A torrent with 30 seeders and 70 leechers (30% seeders) will go faster than one with 10 seeders and 90 leechers (10% seeders).

Is it bad to have more leechers than seeders?

Use a higher leecher ratio than seeders.

When there are more leechers than seeders to a recently added file, the more bits and pieces you'll be able to share with the community. As soon as you start downloading, you would be able to upload instantly. Therefore, avoid torrents with many seeders.
