Unnecessary data when saving to a file

[fuzeman]

You don't need to use the bencode library to download torrent files from the internet, just save the response content to disk.

Example:

r = requests.get(torrent, headers={'Host':'tracktor.in'})

f = open(filename, 'w+')
f.write(r.content)
f.close()

If you want to parse the contents of a torrent file:

r = requests.get(torrent, headers={'Host':'tracktor.in'})

torrent = bencode.bdecode(r.content)
print torrent

The problem is that without using it I can not save the data to a file at all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "index.py", line 87, in <module>
    l.getRss()
  File "index.py", line 49, in getRss

  File "index.py", line 83, in getSerialPage
    f.write(r.text)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 535-536: ordinal not in range(128)

Try:

f.write(r.text.encode('utf-8'))
