Let's say I have the complete data from a torrent, but I don't have the .torrent file anymore. If I create a new .torrent file and distribute that, can this cause any problems?[07:28:44] <Fenhl> e.g. if I do get the original .torrent file back, will that be recognized as the same torrent?[07:29:41] <TheSHAD0W> Possibly, possibly not. The original .torrent file may have somewhat different data in the info section, such as MD5 signatures. It may have a different piece size from the one you make.[07:29:59] <TheSHAD0W> I wouldn't bet on it.[07:30:04] <Fenhl> ok, thanks[07:30:14] <K`Tetch_> if you know the torrent hash, you could pull the torrent file via the magnet link[07:30:32] <K`Tetch_> (and you'd have to now the hash, to know what to compare with)[09:23:11] *** MassaRoddel has joined #bittorrent[13:05:56] *** The_8472 has joined #bittorrent[15:00:30] *** Fenhl has quit IRC[15:30:51] *** DWKnight has quit IRC[15:30:53] *** victrola` has quit IRC[15:30:54] *** ssiloti has quit IRC[15:52:06] *** NirIzr has quit IRC[16:09:49] *** DWKnight has joined #bittorrent[16:09:49] *** victrola` has joined #bittorrent[16:09:49] *** ssiloti has joined #bittorrent[16:30:29] *** NirIzr has joined #bittorrent[17:17:37] *** Fenhl has joined #bittorrent[18:30:50] <TheSHAD0W> http://torrentfreak.com/top-10-utorrent-alternatives-120819/[18:38:10] <DWKnight> so instead of ads that never leave the app, the first one they list gives global pop-overs[18:38:30] <BentMyWookie> that list is missing something, but i can't put my finger on it……[18:40:52] <The_8472> transmission?[18:41:42] <BentMyWookie> that would be it[18:42:24] <Fenhl> Transmission is cool (or at least the OS X version is)[18:42:38] * TheSHAD0W is surprised BitTornado made it onto the list[18:42:42] <Fenhl> but it lacks a lot of important features[18:42:44] <TheSHAD0W> It's nearly defunct.[18:42:49] <BentMyWookie> Fenhl: such as?[18:42:55] <TheSHAD0W> And unable to seed magnet-based torrents.[18:43:02] <Fenhl> BentMyWookie: add peer by IP[18:43:10] <TheSHAD0W> (It can't send out copies of the metadata.)[18:43:24] <BentMyWookie> i wouldn't say that's too important a feature[18:43:26] <Fenhl> BentMyWookie: that's what made me switch to µ[18:43:31] <BentMyWookie> bah![18:44:33] <Fenhl> it is important if you use torrents mainly for sending photo albums etc between friends, and working with malfunctioning trackers[18:44:51] <Fenhl> which is what I do[18:56:08] *** jlouis_ is now known as jlouis[19:35:21] *** wojci has quit IRC[19:49:48] *** Fenhl has quit IRC[19:51:14] *** wojci has joined #bittorrent[20:20:30] *** teiresias has joined #bittorrent[20:34:36] * TheSHAD0W requests a new, simple feature for all new BitTorrent clients...[20:34:56] <TheSHAD0W> The ability to paste a simple infohash and start downloading.[20:35:07] <TheSHAD0W> Maybe in the same place you'd paste a magnet link.[20:36:58] <TheSHAD0W> The reason is, a judge has ruled that providing a clickable link may be considered contributing to copyright infringement...[20:37:16] <TheSHAD0W> But a website that simply provided hashes might be able to claim free speech.[20:57:35] <The_8472> azureus can already do that[20:57:38] <The_8472> not sure about the others[22:16:25] *** raindrop has joined #bittorrent[22:24:04] *** Samual has quit IRC[22:39:26] *** raindrop has quit IRC[23:20:29] *** TheSHAD0W` has joined #bittorrent[23:22:02] *** TheSHAD0W has quit IRC[23:54:25] <DWKnight> cool, whatever versions of ABC are kicking around support ipv6
