Anyone know how to get the IP addresses of peers from a torrent program?

I don't have too much experience programming but came up with the idea of an addon for uTorrent or some other torrent program. What I want to do is take the IP addresses of all the people you are connected to and map them using geo-ip. My only problem is I dont know how to extract the IP addresses from u-Torrent.

Does anyone know how to do this or know of another torrent program that would make it easier to do?

Why not just log all of the ip's from port xxxx-xxxx and then graph that?

Try http://neticon.sourceforge.net/ It uses winpcap to get the IP and port of all connections on your computer and it has a map showing the location of the connection.

Full Disclosure: I wrote it.

Write a G--

well that's boring by now. ktorrent will do it for you, though I suspect there's a much easier way than switching to Linux :p
