Ultima, first off, thank you for a great tool = "BEncode Editor", I have been able to SWAG myself to change certain fields in the resume.dat file. I have followed this whole thread with extreme interest and have found that I certainly lack a lot when it comes to the internals of the resume.dat file, most posters seem to understand it quite clearly. The closest I've come to is a post by TwoD http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=181858#p181858 (post #7), where he partially describes the structure of the file. Would you be able to point me in the right direction to study it further? Thanks! Almost forgot! WAG is bad, SWAG is good -> Wild Ass Guess vs. Scientific Wild Ass Guess ...and BTW, does BEncode try to get in touch with 96.6.120.9? Address lookup canonical name a96-6-120-9.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com. it got intercepted by ZoneAlarm. Cheers!
