Torrent File Format before v0.59

Please note: The torrent file format is changed in v0.59 and later!

Unicode Support, add ".utf-8" for those utf-8 encoding strings. UTF-8 values have higher periority than MBCS strings. e.g:

• "name"
• "name.utf-8"
• "path"
• "path.uft-8"
• "comment"
• "comment.utf-8"
• "publisher"
• "publisher.utf-8"
• "publisher-url"
• "publisher-url.utf-8"
• "announce-list"

In addition to the standard "announce" key, in the main area of the metadata file and not part of the "info" section, will be a new key, " announce-list". This key will refer to a list of lists of URLs, and will contain a list of tiers of announces. If the client is compatible with the multitracker specification, and if the "announce-list" key is present, the client will ignore the "announce" key and only use the URLs in "announce-list".
