wireshark tracking school project for filesharing clients

1

Hello together,

i have a questin about filesharing. in our school we have ten pcs with bittorent...we have created a test torrent with utorrent...we upload it to an opentracker...and now we can download it..

but now the problem...

we use wireshark to protocol the filetransfer...we use the torrent filter....now we see some ip's ...with handshake...

is it possible to the the internet provider like...10.44.22.1.dialup-t-online,.de ???

Is it right that all clients that download this torrent will be shown in wireshark?

Or how does it work? In the bittorent client i see the peers...are this all clients that download the torrent?

i hope somebody can help us by our scool project.

have a nice day many thanks tim

This is more a bittorrent question than a Wireshark question. Read here for more details on bittorrent.
