often when I stopped downloading I see incidental hits 10 hours later on 6881, my question is, are those 'l337 h4x0rz' or just bad clients/trackers that didn't notice I was done and gone?

Those hits could be from peers using the latest CVS version of Azureus that has a new feature that caches the peer list it gets from a tracker to disk incase the tracker is ever unreachable later so you can resume a torrent regardless of whether the tracker is up or not.

I've gotten reports of people seeing connection attempts *WEEKS* after their being on a torrent. The only thing I can conclude is that some of the trackers out there aren't expiring users as they should be.

Well if it is azureus they might code in a graceful depreciation if a client is showing a closed port for hours, this is a bit stupid I think hammering ports like this, it's one of the reasons I tried soulseek once and stopped using it btw, the constant probing, that and the obvious dream-come-tru factor for the RIAA and pals of course :)
