Bittorrent Metainfo File Quick Look Generator
I’ve thrown together a Quick Look generator for those Leopard users out there who have poorly named Bittorrent metainfo files. It’s a work in progress, so no warranties, but it works for me…here it is anyway.
For a more complete description, got to the Downloads page.
Hi,
The bittorrent QLGenerator often shows file sizes such that the sum of individual file sizes is not consistent with the total data size. I’m not clear whether it’s an issue 2^32 or what; the behavior doesn’t seem to be the same on every torrent of Very Large Size.
Thanks Guillaume. I haven’t able to reproduce this. Do you have a file you could point me in the direction of that you’ve seen this happen with?
Here’s a link to a ~12GB torrent:
http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4920572/The_Shining_(1980)_1080p_BDRip.4920572.TPB.torrent
The total file size displayed by the QL Generator is (actual total size) mod (2^33)
At least I think it’s 2^33; I’ve seen cases where the total size displayed is greater than 2^32, but never greater than 2^33.
