Hello fellow Metalinkers, I believe the idea of Metalink is to allow swarming across multiple protocols, not choose one over the other. Can any current Metalink client swarm between BitTorrent & other protocols?
The proper way to handle the situation, presented by Matt, is to use file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, or similar). Relying on filenames is not fail-safe, due to the fact that filenames are arbitrary. On the contrary, the file hash will never change unless the data changes. Specifying a MD5 or SHA-1 hash for the .torrent file is the best solution. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
