Does not always create torrent with same info hash

The script isn't guaranteed to create a torrent with the same infohash as the original (meaning its a different swarm and doesn't work). Also, gives errors about 'storage_mode' parameter missing. And does not copy trackers from Magnet URI to the torrent file.

add_magnet_uri is deprecated

Hi,

add_magnet_uri is deprecated.

I did a fork and made the changes.

I tried to do a 'pull request', suppose to be simple. But
I do not know how.

Python3 support broken

As noted by @parnmatt , 71da071#diff-ee6d3490a40d516d8ec6de809896f74cR140 breaks the program with python3

You should either explicitly define python2 in the #! at the top of the file (please no), or fix the print - seems print() is used elsewhere already

KeyError: 'unknown name in torrent params: paused'

Hello, i would like to fork this project and make a good user interface, but first, when i try it, using the command line example that you provide, i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Magnet_To_Torrent2.py", line 144, in <module>
    main()
  File "Magnet_To_Torrent2.py", line 140, in main
    magnet2torrent(magnet, output_name)
  File "Magnet_To_Torrent2.py", line 51, in magnet2torrent
    handle = lt.add_magnet_uri(ses, magnet, params)
KeyError: 'unknown name in torrent params: paused'

Use dn parameter if no output file name is supplied

I suggest the output file is named 'dn.torrent' (with dn referring to the display name parameter) if no output torrent file name is supplied.

Stuck on has_metadata

I strace the process and find it keep print info like below
futex(0x1c6e41c, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 97, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
futex(0x1c6e3f0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)

Do I need more settings or specific environment ? My test server is behind NAT

Not working without the -o attribute.

Hello, This is of course a nice project. But I need the script to save the torrent file with default name from the magnet uri.

is this code still work

hey guy , i had download you pyton code. it always keep downloading.....but nerve never download any torrent file.

How does it work internally

How does it work internally.

How it convinced both Ave what's the format of both

Latest libtorrent-rasterbar

I am running magnet2torrent with the following dependencies

• python 3.5.2
• libtorrent-rasterbar 1:1.1.1

I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/magnet2torrent", line 34, in <module>
    import libtorrent as lt
ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.61.0: undefined symbol: PyClass_Type

This error occurs by updating to the latest version of libtorrent-rasterbar, which in turn needs boost-libs version 1.61.0.

By using the following dependency versions magnet2torrent runs successfully.

• libtorrent-rasterbar-1:1.1
• boost-libs-1.60.0

convert torrent file to magnet link

Is it possible to do conversions the other way around (.torrent -> magnet link)?
If so, how?
