Hi!
This is probably the first reverse hash database for torrent files.
Before continuing, please accept that I am handling here with metadata, so no illegal material. Also, I don’t host anything illegal. The links to TPB are nofollow. So don’t sue me or do anything funny, al’right?
Who needs this?
After a .torrent-file is downloaded and the torrent is started, there is no way to find out what torrent it is, because it a hash, the info_hash (see http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification).
In order to know the .torrent-file that belongs to the hash, one has to have the torrent file. I here do a reverse linking of hashes to the torrents for the most popular torrent files on The Pirate Bay.
When watching torrent traffic as an network administrator, you might want to know if the data is legal and complies to your policies.
On the other hand, if you see a torrent loading in your network as a user, if you know what it is, it might be _very_ interesting to join it, as the speed can be expected to be very high.
Technical details are in the howto file.
Where is it?
The Bittorrent info_hash reverse database is here as html with links to TPB, and also available as txt.
Is this a complete database?
Of course not. I took only the most popular torrents down to ~37 leechers from TPB.
