With most places using DHT these days, there's not a centralised place to harvest IP's even if you upload the torrent yourself either.
I've only ever used Utorrent, but that gives a list of IPs in the swarm regardless of whether they are up or downing with you. It tells you the speeds to/from each one, and even when both speeds are at 0 you will still see them.
