.torrent validation

[techtonik]

It would be nice if it could also validate files using .torrent file.

I'll look into it, but it doesn't really fit into the ui - the hash would be too long to display.

I'm not sure it makes sense to add Torrent functionality but I admit there are times where I would have appreciated having RapidCRC Unicode work on a .Torrent file. And I have to admit when I explain hashing to people, I usually mention Torrents (and the VirusTotal site).

I don't think you'd list "Torrent" to the main screen since the program really shouldn't create Torrent files. The only reason to generate Torrent files are for sharing, since (as I understand it) they're really just a series of segmented SHA1 hashes. Instead, I'd say that if a .torrent file is added to the screen, RapidCRC would check it against the associated files.

You might be able to integrate Deluge since it has a command-line version that might be integrated.

Maybe close this issue? It's like 8 years old.
