It is fixed now, there is a 0.16.0 release. I've created an issue on this, see it here:

Torrent_info.orig_files() is also missing in python bindings, I'm not sure whether torrent_info.files() is sufficient. torrent file from a magnet uri when using python bindings. When I find some time I will report this missing api bug to libtorrent developers, as currently it is impossible to create a. It expects hash to be const char* but torrent_info.hash_for_piece(int) returns class big_number which has no api to convert it back to const char*. There is an error thrown on this line: t_hash(i, hash) So I tried it another way, but also encountered a brick wall that makes it impossible, here is the code: if handle.has_metadata():įor i in xrange(0, torinfo.num_pieces()):į.write(libtorrent.bencode(torfile.generate()))

torrent, it worked, absolutely no problem. Seems like libtorrent python api is missing some of important c++ api that is required to create torrent from magnets, the example above won't work in python cause create_torrent python class does not accept torrent_info as parameter (c++ has it available). The situation here is, I used uTorrent to download movies with. 'handle' is from here: torrent_handle add_magnet_uri(session& ses, std::string const& uri add_torrent_params p) Īlso before creating torrent you have to make sure that metadata has been downloaded, do this by calling handle.has_metadata(). Now, for it, all you have to do is grab the torrent file from the location (torrent URL) and use that to launch the default application associated using the torrent file. You will get two different but practical methods to solve how to create a magnet link with simple steps. To this: torrent_info ti = handle.get_torrent_info() If I am correct you want to implement a magnet link in C like torrents have on various sites.
