Nice tip, though don't forget to share some trackers too, I've been stuck at 0% on a torrent someone shared as only the infohash. I'm guessing their DHT isn't working, and despite adding trackers, without knowing what trackers any of the other seeds are using it's just a guessing game adding open trackers blindly, or a waiting game hoping I can find peers using DHT.
Note that v1 and v2 torrents use slightly different url fragments, so this won't work quite as easily as you think. It would be possible tell the difference because they use different hashes with different lengths, but most people probably won't know.
You make a good point, but I don't think I've ever seen a v2 torrent in my life.
That's an interesting idea, but what if magnet link parts were added as well?
For example trackers, like [email protected] suggested, could be added like in a base64 string ( infohash
+ tracker URLs
).
I also made a page that converts infohashes to base64, like in your post. https://magmaus3.codeberg.page/infohash2base64
That script makes this a lot more convenient, thank you. As far as adding trackers, I'm not sure if there would be a way to compress them, which is what I was going for with the infohash encoding. If you try to encode a whole magnet link in base64, it ends up being a mile long with all the trackers added in (most of which do not connect). You could just encode the infohash of the magnet, but thats going to kind of defeat the point and confuse people. I don't notice a difference most of the time with or without trackers, but if you need them, you can set qbittorrent to automatically appened trackers to torrents.
