TorrentSniff
TorrentSniff reports current status information on a BitTorrent torrent including what files it contains and the current number of seeds (machines sharing the complete torrent) and leeches (machines still downloading the torrent). It is useful for comparing multiple potential sources of a file to find the best-seeded torrent.

Changes: This version features minor feature enhancements, notably adding caching of results queried from BitTorrent servers. This dramatically speeds things up when querying a number of torrent files served by the same server.
- 15 Jun 2003 01:31
Changes: This version features minor bugfixes and usability improvements, and fixes "Using a hash as a reference is deprecated" warning messages. Error messages have been improved, especially when a tracker isn't behaving as expected. Users can now use "-t" to just get information about the tracker (the seed and leech counts), or "-f" to just get information about the torrent (avoiding contacting the tracker).

Line 255: $file_record{'name'} = $info->{'name'}.'/'.$path->[0];
.. should be ...
$file_record{'name'} = $info->{'name'}.'/'. join '/', @$path;
to support torrents with directories deeper than one single directory.
Line 263:
$tsize += $info->{'length'},
should have that comma replaced with a semi-colon.
