just a suggestion so that Akiba provides a seeder count or info of how many people are seeding the torrent file. it would be useful for us to see if the torrent file are alive or already dead, especially in the older torrent thread. sometimes when I browse, new torrent file doesn't always mean that the file has many seeders in it, and old torrent doesn't always has a dead file (but most of it is dead).

what do you guys think? is it possible to provide us that kind of info?



PS: if you guys didn't know what I mean, just see any torrent site, they always provides seeders/leechers estimation

A-O has no own tracker (anymore), all used trackers are external ones, so it would not be possible to issue something like a seeder counter here.

That does not make sense redrooster as other torrent sharing sites that do not host trackers have seed counters. I do not know how they do it and you may not know how they do it and that is all well and fine. To say it cannot be done however, would seem to be in error.

We don't have the resources to periodically poll external trackers.
