It's a field added to the info dictionary of a private torrent to make its hash unique even if content (files) are the same, akin to salt in cryptography. Used by some private trackers to let the same client seed multiple copies of data as different torrents to different trackers. Matching hashes have probably bothered seedbox owners and other massive hoarders too often.
