I fail to see how endian-ness fits into the picture, because all numbers are formated as strings. The System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1 generates the hashes correctly. Most likely your problem is building the proper Byte array to pass to it. I found it easiest to first do a recursive decent parse of the torrent file to get the start and end byte positions of the info block. Then re-read that block into an array. If you would like to see my (VB.net) code which calcs the infohash, just send me a mail. mypublicaccout at yahoo dot com. ------------------------ Yahoo!
