Any source on trackers poisoning this data? I assume if that were common, requesting a few blocks from a provided IP address could let you know if they're really seeding that torrent.

Adding fake entries from certain IP ranges would be quite funny, and a good example of the data not being trustworthy.

I read somewhere the Pirate bay did it, but I can't remember where. I'll add it if it turns up, but that was a long, long time ago.
