And what does availability mean? If a file has an availability of 0.823, does it mean that the whole swarm combined has only got 82.3% of the file, so unless a seeder joins the swarm, no one can get the full file? I think it means that. I have not read it anywhere, just tried to apply some logic. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I myself can see a problem with my theory. If this is the case, then why does the availability go beyond 1.000 for famous torrents?
