Hey. I just hit one and it got my mind wondering... Why cant we just log the infohash's of torrents being passed through the DHT swarm and then log it to a database? Instant torrent index right there.

I dont think this uses the method of just logging the hashes other peers are looking for.

Btdigg did that. Kinda hard to see the amount of seeders/leechers.

I guess it's too slow to be feasible.

You can.
Of course, without doing a lot more work the list of hashes isn't going to do you any good.

You can get, for each torrent, its name, some metadata like dates, and list of files, right?

I believe that actually requires you to fetch the .torrent file, which is what I meant by "a lot more work".
Then again, I could be completely wrong about this.
