--- Comment #1 from Jack Hill <[email protected]> ---
I think it's reasonable to assume a tracker should respond with a full packet,
i.e. implement option 2.

The protocol description (https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0015.html) says:

> Do note that most trackers will only honor the IP address field under limited 
> circumstances.

It doesn't actually say what the `seeders` and `leechers` fields correspond to.
I am left wondering whether this is the total number that the tracker is aware
of (this would match https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0048.html) or whether
this is supposed to be the number of IPs it will send. I would assume that it
is the former, in which case we should probably calculate the number of IPs
that can fit in the data that we've received and use that.

I think it would be best to clarify with other Bittorrent projects too just to
be sure. Apparently there is a mailing list
(https://www.bittorrent.org/mailing_list.html) but the link to sign up to
receive posts doesn't work for me.
