Question to developper about file hash

[marcvilmet]

Hi everybody,

I have a serious problem and I really need your help.

I am using mldonkey with the bittorent function. When I add a torrent file, mldonkey calculates a hash for the file.

I need to know how the hash is calculated because I would like to write a php script which does the same thing. In fact, I know that the file hash for a torrent file is calculated by the SH1 hash algorithm but when I am using the SH1 hash method I never find the good hash (which is stored in the file files.ini)

Can someone help me ? I am trying to resolve this problem since 1 week and I become crazy...

Thanks for your help.

Marc

I do not know the exact answer but by looking at the code I can tell you this:

You mean the content of option file_id in files.ini?
This value is computed by using the string content of the .torrent option "info".

Thanks for your help. Thanks to you I manage to get ahead with the first part of the difficulty.

By looking in BtGlobals.ml, I found this at line 343
