The --dht-node flag can be used to add DHT bootstrap nodes to new torrents.
This is the only piece of metainfo-related functionality in BEP 5, so we can mark BEP
5 as implemented.
type: added
Adds the command `imdl` torrent verify` to verify the contents of torrents.
This implementation is extremely naive. It does successfully verify torrents,
but it will produce unsatisfying results when a torrent fails verification. In
particular, it won't give any information about which pieces in a file were
corrupt.
type: added
Display the contents of torrents as tree of files when showing torrents
with `imdl torrent show` and after `imdl torrent create`.
The formatting and structure of the code was lifted entirely from torf.
type: added
To include only files that match a glob, pass `--glob GLOB`. To exclude
files that match a glob, pass `--glob GLOB`. Multiple globs may be
passed, with later globs taking precedence over earlier ones.
type: added
By default, skip the following when creating a torrent:
- Junk files, like `Thumbs.db`
- Files and directories that begin with a `.`
- Files and directories that have the OS or Windows hidden attribute set
- Symlinks
These can be overridden with, respectively:
- `--include-junk`
- `--include-hidden`
- `--include-hidden`
- `--follow-symlinks`
type: changed
When no piece length is provided to imdl torrent create, a piece
length is selected based on the size of the input. The hueristic is
lifted directly from libtorrent.
Also adds a imdl torrent piece-length command, which prints a table
of the piece lengths chosen at different content sizes, which is useful
for understanding and debugging the piece length selection algorithm.
