qBittorrent official forums

Hi all 

I've two questions about the creation of magnet links inside qBittorrent (I'm using the Linux 3.0.6 version). To create a magnet link: right click on a listed torrent, then "copy magnet link". But:

1) qBittorrent modifies the hash in the magnet link. Why?
2) I want to include all the trackers added to the torrent. But the &tr= option is empty or include only one tracker. Why?

Thanks in advance,
Lo

1. Can you clarify?
2. This looks like either deliberate or temporary behavior of libtorrent. The code only copies the first tracker in array.

I will ask about this on LT bugtracker.

Hi Dayman,

For the first question:

I'm testing several bittorrent client on Ubuntu.
Taking Transmission (the default client), if my torrent hash is (i.e): 326e209ad9eb.... etc... when I create the magnet link, the program generates a link like this: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:326e209ad9eb.... etc...
The btih (BitTorrent Info Hash) is the same.

Taking qBittorrent, if my torrent hash is (i.e): 4cc67ef49580f3... etc... when I create the magnet link, the program generates a link like this: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:JTDH55EVQD... etc...

For the second question:

Transmission copies all the trackers of the torrent (even if I add trackers in a second time). qBittorrent only the first or nothing.

Kind regards,
Lo

For the first one: it does not change hash in any way. It encodes it in base32 for compatibility.
Check 'magnet URI format' here:
http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0009.html

So this is standard compliant.

Second one is now reported here: https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/is ... 9&sort=-id

Thank you so much Dayman!

Another behaviour I noticed:

If I load a .torrent file and then I modify the trakers inside qBt client, the created magnet link uses only the first tracker of the .torrent file (not that i specified for first). In other words:

- first tracker of the .torrent file (i.e): udp://tracker.xxx.org:80/announce
- first tracker specified (by me) in the client (i.e): udp://tracker.yyy.org:80/announce

Magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ABCDEFGHAILMNOPQR...&dn=example.zip&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.xxx.org%3a80%2fannounce

Longho

The second issue will be fixed in LT 0.16.6

Good news! Thanks Dayman
