I'm finding myself in a conundrum: I see a torrent which as very few seeds, and several swarms. And I happen to be in a different swarm than the seeds, hence, nothing downloads.

What I don't understand is how the torrent client knows that there are seeds for that specific torrent, yet doesn't seem to be able to point me toward them. I mean, it doesn't seem logical to me: Either it doesn't know they share the same torrent, and it shouldn't display them, or if it knows they do, I should be able to interact with them... right ?

I fail to understand the logic behind that separation...
