   I don't get it.   
      
   The old version of uTorrent that I use will indicate which country that   
   a particular peer belongs to (by putting a little flag beside their IP   
   address).  Even though they frequently attribute many Canadian IP   
   addresses with US flags, I can still tell by the rDNS when I'm peer'd   
   with someone on Bell.ca, or shaw, or videotron.   
      
   So what does it matter what the Gardaley software does?  It can't   
   possibly screw up such a simple task of writing peer/seeder IP addresses   
   to a log file for any given torrent that you point it at.

   I don't fully understand how my computer knows to "reach out" to   
   specific IP address and make connections with them when I download any   
   given file.  But once those connections are made, it's pretty clear how   
   the contents of a given torrent become distributed between the   
   participants.
