To use this.. click Load Torrent. An open dialog will let you choose the .torrent .. now another dialog will open (file or directory, depending upon the torrent), you'll need to select where the file is saved locally. If you use the 'skip hashing' option, you can choose any file or folder, but I ask that you use it just to make sure it works correctly (you should get a message saying you have the complete fileset, and that you can continue). Now click Query Tracker, it'll attempt to contact the tracker and retreive peer IPs.. if it succeeds, there will be a bunch of IPs in the bottom part of the window now. Click Query Peers, and wait a while. It will initiate a connection to each peer, and monitor, in real-time, how much of the file they have! This can be useful if you're seeding, and need to know how well your file is doing. Work on making this a full-featured client continues daily..
