RE: HELP! "bad bencoded data" with new generated torrent

Hey Paulo,

 

            I ran into the same problem.

 

            Use a hex editor to open up your generated torrent file.

            Compare your file to a valid generated file.

 

            Compare and contrast.

 

            A hint, where your problem MIGHT be: UTF-8 encoding?

Cheers,

            Tell me how it goes!

 

            P.S.   .torrent files are now encoded in UTF-8 ( I'm pretty sure
=D )  Check out BT 4.0.0 at http://www.bittorrent.com

Subject: [BitTorrent] HELP! "bad bencoded data" with new generated torrent

 


Hi, All...

I'm developping a torrent generator and I'm using BT 0.3.10 to test 
my generated files. And I'm stuck with this error.

The generated torrent pass my bdecoder and seems normal. I've 
compared the Info Hash of my generated torrent with other torrent 
generator programs and the Info Hash matches.

So what I could be doing wrong here?!

I'm running out of ideas.

Regards,

Paulo
