[Old] - Bit Che 2.0 Release Candidate 4 - Build 35
chip!:
greets! :)
I am looking at adding Magnet support to Bit Che. First step was to figure out some Info Hash coding and I've completed that.
The good news is that allowed me to finally bake in Scrape support from the Torrent Details window. Here's a screen shot showing the progress there, as well as new popup menus on that dialog.
Anyway, I'm alive still, and making (slow, but better than none) progress on Bit Che 2.0..
Magnet files will be interesting because even though you have the Hash, you do not know any information about the structure of the .torrent details until after you have connected to the Tracker swarm, and then downloaded the .torrent from your peers. This makes the "Torrent Details" screen pretty much useless in Bit Che.. but, so is loading a magnet link into uTorrent.. you get nothing until after its started to download. Nothing can be done about that, except maybe force Bit Che to parse extra HTML page for the filenames/sizes and then push that into the Torrent Details. Might be more of a hassle than is needed.
Regardless, I think the main point would be for Bit Che to be able to search for results, and then send Magnet links to your Torrent Downloader (since currently it needs a .torrent to pass along).

Good news, Bit Che 2.0 is now ready to handle Magnet links and send them into your downloader. Since there is no data in a magnet link, the Details windows will only show what is known.
Also added, scraping the tracker (HTTP trackers only, I will work on UDP later).
Also, I'm going to work on fetching either the .torrent itself or the file name info for magnet links based on either torrent cache websites or other indexes that store the file names (if not the original site itself, but its nice to not have to trust the website, especially for public sites).

Bit Che 2.0 - Build 12 *BETA*
Yes, there are bugs, but I am posting it anyway. A bunch of new features have been added and I would like feedback! :)
1. Magnet Link support
2. Torrent Details: Searches torrent cache sites for Magnet links (allows .torrent preview for magnet links.. otherwise not possible! :) )
3. Torrent Details: Tracker scrape support - HTTP only.. but supports both Scrape and Hard Scrape (scrape/announce methods) -- real time Seeds/Leeches
4. Torrent Details: Now able to view 'all' of the trackers listed in a torrent (click the tracker for a drop down list).
I'm looking for feedback on the above... I know its not 100% working in all scenarios, and I will continue to improve it.
Thanks
