I didn’t see your comment earlier, pretty much all of them support hybrids, old transmissions till 3.01 are exclusions, and that’s because their devs didn’t implement their bencoding library according to BEP, but this flaw was fixed in the new versions awhile.
So you’re loose to choose hybrids (or hell, even v2 only), protocol was around for a couple of years, don’t believe what others’ say, those are the pretty much lazy people with low technical background, who are afraid to upgrade their clients for years. Didn’t catch that “remote” thing, but there could be no way of modifying data bound to sha256 hash.
BitTorrent v2 — is the future. I suppose there’s no need telling its improvements.
Here’s the link.
If you don’t understand, then just think of it as the solution of 99% stuck torrents and need to download part of other files’ pieces to check if given file is valid.
Create a hybrid then, it will add BEP-47 to v1 separately (since hybrids can’t exist without it) and you will have additional v2 support, with built-in piece alignment, double win.
Torrent-file, also supports BitTorrent v2 — coming with piece alignment by default.
You can extract, calculate and compare those hashes using this tool.
In the next bug-fix release of libtorrent the tool will have ability to generate magnet links to download torrents without duplicate files, saving storage, bandwidth and most importantly time.
Very useful for dumps, libraries, video/photo archives ;)
Exactly, that’s why clients with BEP-47 support should:
I doubt that there are decent torrent clients implemented BEP-47 without this sanitization, if any.
