[libtorrent] How to get an unfiltered list of all peers?

[Ricky H. <rhu...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I am doing a research project on the properties / statistics of bittorrent swarms and I need to get access to the list of all the peers from all trackers on a torrent, even the dead ones.  While I understand I can get a list of peers from the libtorrent API with get_peer_info() method, it will not be sufficient for me as I need an unfiltered list.

I am thinking of injecting some code right after getting the peer list back from a trackers and before libtorrent connects to those peers and maybe filtering some out.  Question is, where would that injection point be?


Thanks in advance.
