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.
