Are you working on a BitTorrent client, or something of your own devising? – andrewsi Aug 31 '12 at 17:50

Well, something like http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_demo_ip will let you lookup country based on IP addresses - they offer an API, I believe. – andrewsi Aug 31 '12 at 18:47

There are two largely separate parts - querying the torrent tracker for the seeders IP, and reverse-geocoding the IP addresses to determine the country.
The reverse-geocoding part is a common thing, and easily done. This question lists several options, and this one is similar, but specifically for PHP
The torrent-tracker-querying part is a bit more complicated, due to the various types of torrent trackers. This question explains what you need to do
