@41 they maybe use DHT and peer exchange in their clients so the new downloaders go into the swarms…
Otherwise they’d have to support the whole upload. Or how to be “leet” at low bandwidth costs…

Couldn’t the people who were posting the elite torrents to indexing sites have protected their “source” by creating their own .torrent files, posting them to a public site and posting those to the indexer?

It seems as if people like the attention that posting releases gets them but aren’t willing to even put a few minutes of work in to get it.

[quote comment="333601"]
and @7: the hash is of the file(s) being shared; adding trackers to the torrent does not alter the file(s) themselves, so it would not change the hash.[/quote]

Actually, it does. While the referenced files have their own hash, the torrent file itself also has its own hash. Most all tracker software can remake uploaded torrents, however, which is how services like ISOhunt can include many trackers in a torrent that originally only had one. If you install something like BNBT Easytracker on your home system, you’ll find options to add a certain tracker to all uploaded torrents, or modify them in certain ways.
