Is there any way to tell which torrents have fewer seeds, without having to add them all to my client?

I wasn't able to figure out a way so I just picked a few at random. Is there an easy way to roll up like a heroku app or something that would check the health of only those torrents? That could be really useful to the libgen guys.

I couldn't find anything, so I ended up making it myself using TorrentSniff.
http://genesis.andreparames.com/
Most of the trackers seem to be down, so it's just getting data from tracker2.wasabii.com, and even that is pretty slow, so it'll take a while to fetch for all 1693 torrents.
I wrote a script that pings the tracker and keeps regenerating a static HTML file, so it'll keep updating itself, though not very fast.
