Currently, our main source of torrent discovery is through swarm health information. When we receive an infohash that we haven't seen before, we immediately request the
TorrentMetadata. These requests are expected to be mostly successful, because peers only send swarm information if they have theTorrentMetadataas well. It turns out, these requests always fail, because we're requesting an infohash that is double hex-encoded.After merging this fix, torrent discovery should be fixed. This means that, combined with the earlier tracker fixes, we should be getting more tracker information. So, hopefully, this will also (partially) fix our swarm health problem.
