BEP_0019 Url list is unique item property for each unique torrent file. Where it can download this files directly via http/ftp server This unique url-list must therefore be added at initial torrent creation process.
The only update function that can be implemented here for BEP_0019 here is ‘find and replace url’ If the file download http/ftp url is dead then it must be replace by a new working url.
Example: a text file that instruct which url must be automatic replace, ‘url-list_find_and_replace.txt’

Thanks for your reply.
I believe https://sites.google.com/site/ultimasites/bencode-editor can perform the url-list addition without changing the hash or re-creating the torrent.
edit: Re-testing it confirms that the hash remains the same after modifying the web seed url-list, and that peer DHT connections can be made to the original hash.
Web seeds use the
url-list
key to store webseed URLs separately from trackers.See BEP_0019: https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html
