wazup Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 OOPS. I downloaded a torrent some time ago and now I need to know from where. The reason is that there is another torrent (for a TV show) that I'd like to search for and see if it exists.Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Err. Try the torrent comment or tracker for information. The 1.8 line includes "source URL" as a port of the RSS column.. and applies to files downloaded through RSS feeds as well as "add from URL" off the File menu.

Ultima Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ah, I hadn't realized that they finally implemented the source URL thing for adding from URL... *documents* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazup Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks jewelisheaven. If I open the torrent with notepad, it is just a jumble of "Stuff" (for want of a better word). Is there a Torrent Editor (viewer) out there?I've googled the world and can't seem to find anything.BTW: in notepad when I search for "Source" or "Source URL" it finds nothing. Below is an extract of the first few lines, after that - all gibberish.d8:announce30:http://tracker.prq.to/announce13:announce-listll30:http://tracker.prq.to/announceel66:http://fdbc3eeb0542feeccbaffc2784d1167e591db0f0.bthub.com/announceel71:http://fdbc3eeb0542feeccbaffc2784d1167e591db0f0.bthub.com:2710/announceel71:http://fdbc3eeb0542feeccbaffc2784d1167e591db0f0.bthub.com:6969/announceel78:http://redir.bthub.com/redir.php?hash=fdbc3eeb0542feeccbaffc2784d1167e591db0f0ee10:created by13:BitComet/0.9813:creation Thanks...

Ultima Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 BEncode Editor (third link in my signature) is capable of editing any kind of bencoded file (.torrent files are bencoded). Unfortunately, what you're looking for usually won't be found in the .torrent file. If you don't remember where you got it from, then you're going to have to find it via Google, or something. You might want to try searching Google for the torrent infohash (which you can find in µTorrent's General tab).When jewelisheaven said to check the tracker or comment, he meant via µTorrent (torrent properties lists the tracker, and the General tab shows the comments). The bit of bencode you posted actually has the tracker and infohash, so you have the information you need there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
