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.
Excellent, added. Thank you! :)Quote:

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. :happy:
what do you mean with that? how well a torrent is seeded? i don't understand it.Quote:
