Are you sure you ran torrentsniff on the right torrent? I ask because
I don't think I've seen anywhere near that many leeches on mine. Right
now it looks like there are 11 seeds and 5 leeches.

Yeah, I saw that, too, but I don't think it means much. Remember that
this is an iso we are talking about, so it's kind of like having a
corrupt filesystem. You may only find one bad file, but all of the data
is suspect.

My torrent has been active since I posted it, so I think you are still
looking at the original torrent from the web page.
