Title is misleading. Really it means to say that the oldest still active torrent is 15 years old.

No it's not. If you talk about the world's oldest woman, no one expects you to include Cleopatra in the running.
Well, I for one thought it meant the first ever torrent is still going. Why wouldn't people assume 'world's oldest torrent' means just that?! And 'the world's oldest running torrent is still running' is like 'world's oldest living human is still alive' - of course they are.
Yeah I thought the same.
