A metainfo file consists out of "bencoded integers", "bencoded strings", "bencoded lists" and "bencoded dictionaries" These data types don't have a most significant or least significant byte. They work more like strings or byte streams ;) The order of the bytes is therefore 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc. i,1,2,3,e,4,:,s,p,a,m, Even if the complete torrent was encoding in utf8 there would be no byte order problems =D Bye, Skybuck. ------------------------ Yahoo!
