why do some torrent on 0 seeders still download to 100% ? utorrent says seeds 0(0) , does this mean that the trackers are able to 'Hide' the seeds ???? also I notice with these type of strange torrents that after a few hours or a few days seeds go back from 0 to 1 seeder, I find this strange because normally when the torrent is dead, it remains dead.

Some sites report no seeds. I know of a site that deals in horror movies that does this

I could be wrong here but my guess is that it may have something to do with the health of the torrent file like on Seedpeer it shows how strong the file is next to it.

It will be DHT which was built into most bit torrent clients a few years ago. A lot of private sites require the feature to be disabled to help improve the privacy of its members. Also, you can finish a torrent download with no seeds so long as the whole file exists on the remaining peers.
