Let's say magnet link contains only the hash. Fine, software that knows how to search for that hash enables user to eventually get that file. Now, if magnet...
Gordon, Hi. I wanted to get your input on a different type of Javascript that I came up with to handle magnet URI. As you know, LimeWire is cross platform so...
You're pretty much describing the Magnet URLs used by JivePlayer. Take a look at them here: http://www.limewire.com/magnet/magnet-uri-detect.html Shareaza and...
Thanks. You are absolutely right! Knowing the file size from the magnet link is, in contrast, a minor programming convenience issue when preparing for a...

I uploaded a VC++ 6.0 sample, derived from MSDN sample, that demonstrates one very simple magnet APP handler. This is COM DLL that you register and unregister...

As of today (Feb 11 2003) the latest version of Opera (v7.1) does not support MAGNET URI's. I and other Shareaza users have been battling that they add support...
Could magnet uris include a file size tag or something? It could be used to check that a file is the right size. It could also be used by websites, such as...
If IE and Netscape support magnets (which they do) then the burden is clearly on Opera to also support this sort of protocol. They should not need any...
Inspired by Lucas's proposal and John's need, I'd like to offer a similar proposal to fill one of the gaps left in the Magnet-URI specs. Those specs mention an...
Extremely sensible stuff. Still, I want to clarify my point relative to ... m3u playlists already support HTTP URLs, so they should also be able to accomodate...
I don't quite like it for the simple fact that new URIs are supposed to work with any markup that already understands URIs. You shouldn't have to define a new...
