title: What is the best way to find IP addresses of seeders/peers for a given torrent file
body: <p>I have implemented a python module that scrapes two torrent sites using python scrapy.
  It currently stores torrent data in a DB, and it has ability to download the torrent file by calling a bash script that downloads the .torrent files.</p>
  
  <p><strong>For research purposes in DB visualization</strong> I would like to know if it is possible, and if so, how to obtain IP addresses of <code>seeders</code> and <code>peers</code> of a specific torrent file. I would like to create a visualization to see correlations between torrent files , their types (movies, iso images, books, ..etc) to the locations they are seeded / peers are downloading from. </p>
  
  <p>For instance here is what is inside one of the .torrent files I scraped:(just part of it)</p>

  <p>Will I be able use this info in the file to connect to the tracker and move forward  finding peers and seeders for that file?</p>
