mocell Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 It was my understanding that the name of the torrent and the filename would change the infohash but the magnet link only has the infohash inside of it. The magnet can be named anything and it would not change the hash is that correct or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktetch Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 By 'magnet name' are you refering to the anchor text used for the link?yesCorrect, that has no relevance to the hash. It's just an extra bit added on after the hash. It's the hash that's the important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
