Simple definition of scrape:
It tells your client how many seeds and peers are in the whole swarm (not just those you are connected to).
When you see seeds 10 (25) and peers 12 (18) the numbers in brackets are coming from scrape. You would be connected to 10 out of a possible 25 seeds.

pretime is the time a release (movie, game, music, etc.) appears on the internet for the first time.
private torrent sites try to make the releases available as fast as possible, often only minutes after the original pretime.
in bittorrent talk the term "tracker pretime" describes the gap between the original pretime and the tracker release time.

Any other ideas or suggestions on how I could improve this?

Added ".NFO" and "reseed". Looking for a newb-friendly definition for "availibility"!
This is turning out much better than I expected.

Here's a thorough but complicated definition, I was hoping someone could supply an alternative definition BT newbies could understand.what do you mean with that? how well a torrent is seeded? i don't understand it.
The number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seed adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653).
