Other info

Torrents.csv will only store torrents with at least one seeder to keep the file small, and will be periodically purged of non-seeded torrents, and sorted by seeders descending.

Its initially populated with a January 2017 backup of the pirate bay, but eventually scripts will be written that pull in new torrents daily.
