Now that's a good idea, trying to 'compete' with the all the other sites out there may be tough but setting up a website with links to the torrent files (you could host the .torrent files on the site itself) with full details about the contents of the torrent, not just the filename(s) within the torrent, including what tracker(s) the torrent uses, what site the torrent came from, wether you need to register on that site to use the torrent and most importantly when the torrent was put on your site or last checked to see wether it's still active or not.

I get the feeling if you can get into webserver scripting there must be programs out there that can tell you how many seeders/leechers there are with an particular torrent (provided you're allowed access, ie if it's a on a registration only tracker)
