-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I believe it has been mentioned that the bencode format strings should be UTF-8. Some clients support other encodings for torrent internal filenames. Some clients support reading (and writing) the "encoding" string value in the root dictionary of a .torrent file (unofficial extension as far as I know) that force a torrent's files to be saved with the specified encoding. As for the main python based clients, I don't know which ones of those support the non-utf-8 encodings. - -----Original Message----- From: Charles Chan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 10:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BitTorrent] File name encoding I am running Linux and my file system uses UTF-8 encoding. However, most of my downloads are in another encoding (Chinese, Japanese)... So the file names created are all screwed up. Do we have any patch to specify the encodings for both sides so that proper transcoding can take place? If not, I am willing to help implement that. In the future, maybe the original encoding can be specified in the torrent file itself.
