There are tools, mostly standard network forensic tools.
BitTorrent you

their .torrent file.



 the ip of the tracker, who does not have to have any
relations with the
seeding person. Some trackers are open to anyone and you can
use them for ur
means without the tracker collaborating with you

 Albeit the RIAA has a different view on this. Having a
tracker is a crime
in their point of view.


Right - they view the tracker as the distributer I believe -
thus the IP
there is the target.

 Which is funny as the tracker doesn't actually HAVE the file.  Even more so
with the decentralized additions to BitTorrent, the need for a tracker
almost goes away.
