I got the impression that idea was that the bittorrent client would join the IRC channel and to *be* a user. Again, I'm not very familiar with the IRC protocol,...
a related issue that came up is that the exact algorithm for adding pad-files is not specified in BEP52, but it's important when creating hybrid torrents. At least the way...
BEP52 says "Padding files are synthetic files inserted into the file list to let the following file start at a piece boundary." which does suggest approach (2).
if the last file is an empty file, there won't be any tail-padding with algorithm (2).
they don't. The reference implementation adds padding to make empty files aligned to pieces too, which I believe is unnecessary. e.g. ``` file1 empty1 empty2 ``` are padded like: ```...
I don't think it matters that much exactly how the padding is applied, but I hadn't appreciated that it's kind of important to agree on the details to make hybrid...
as a separate note, you shouldn't send an RST back to an unrecognised RST packet.
