Honeyfrog Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I notice the term encoding5:UTF-84 is now included in .torrent files.What does it mean? Is it important for anything, or just a bit of info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Means the strings are encoded with UTF-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Technically, all .torrent files are supposed to have their strings encoded in UTF-8, so the encoding key shouldn't even be needed (is it even used?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyfrog Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 1.6.1 didn't have the phrase (at least not at the top of the file, anyway), and the torrent appears to work fine with it hacked out.(Piratebay is going through one of its "phases" again where cryptic errors pop up every time I try to upload a torrent, and I'm trying to hunt it down. I thought it might be this, but it's not accepting Azureus-created torrents from me either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Norton Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I just tested, and 1.6.1 does appear to have had that phrase as well (tested with a few folder and some text files filled with a few random letters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
