Found out v2 has been out for more than 4 years but I’ve never seen it used

BitTorrent v2 allows for per file hashing, which makes it easier to merge swarms. This could be used to keep individual episodes alive without splitting seeders between season pack and individual episodes.

But given how many tracker staff want to continue doing what they've always done, I don't think it's big enough of an advantage for them to allow v2.
