#955 (importing magnet links) - The libTorrent and rTorrent Project - Trac - 0 views

bit lib magnet r torrent uri

shared by Mike Chelen on 04 Oct 08 - Cached
  • 08/31/08 12:55:48 changed by josef ¶ I've written a patch to support magnet links now. You need to check out svn rev 1065 of libtorrent/rtorrent, and get http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/dht-pex-static_map.diff and http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/magnet-uri.diff then in the directory that has the libtorrent and rtorrent subdirs you've checked out, do patch -p0 < dht-pex-static_map.diff patch -p0 < magnet-uri.diff and recompile both. It uses the official magnet protocol from Bittorrent BEP-0009 which is incompatible with Azureus and so far only supported by uTorrent 1.8+, so it'll only work if there are recent uTorrents in the swarm. It supports magnet links in both the old style base32 encoded hashes as well as the recommended URL-encoded hashes. Note that if there is one or more tracker URLs to use for the download, it must be present as "tr=..." argument in the magnet URI, because there is currently no way of adding trackers in rtorrent afterwards, so without that it'll use DHT and nothing else. After opening a magnet URI, it will add a meta download to download the actual torrent info. When that is complete, it is replaced by the real torrent. The meta data is saved in your standard torrent download directory, you can delete that after the real torrent has appeared, or you can keep it in case you need to open the same magnet URI again.

    Importing magnet links would be great, because some sites only have magnet links. Mayby something like this:

  • Why bother about openness and licensing for data
  • It’s crucial because open data is so much easier to break-up and recombine, to use and reuse.
  • want people to have incentives to make their data open and for open data to be easily usable and reusable
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • good definition of openness acts as a standard that ensures different open datasets are ‘interoperable’
  • Licensing is important because it reduces uncertainty. Without a license you don’t know where you, as a user, stand: when are you allowed to use this data? Are you allowed to give to others? To distribute your own changes, etc?
  • licensing and definitions are important even though they are only a small part of the overall picture
  • If we get them wrong they will keep on getting in the way of everything else.
  • Everyone agrees that requiring attribution is OK
    • Mike Chelen
      Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
       
      My opinion is that there should be no requirements, including attribution, and that standards should be community-based instead of legal.
  • Even if a basic license is used it can be argued that any ‘requirements’ for attribution or share-alike should not be in a license but in ‘community norms’.
    • Mike Chelen
      Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
       
      Licenses and community norms are not exclusive. It's recommended to adopt a Public Domain license, and encourage attribution through community standards.
  • A license is likely to elicit at least as much, and almost certainly more, conformity with its provisions than community norms.
    • Mike Chelen
      Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
       
      Ease of access and should be the goal, not conformity.
  • (even to a user it is easy to comply with the open license)
    • Mike Chelen
      Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
       
      It is important to specifically publish using a Public Domain dedication.
  • Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
     
    Why bother about openness and licensing for data? After all they don't matter in themselves: what we really care about are things like the progress of human knowledge or the freedom to understand and share.
