Verification of torrent files is not supported and, regrettably, is not even planned.
OK thanks. The first line of the readme makes it sound like this is something rhash does: "calculation and verification of magnet links and various message digests, including... BitTorrent BTIH"
BitTorrent BTIH stands for 'BitTorrent Info Hash', but not a 'BitTorrent file'.
BTIH verification is supported by RHash since
a bittorent file contains hashes of all the pieces of the files inside the torrent, so it would be worthfile for it to be supported. I personally see a .torrent file as halfway between a .sfv / .md5sum / .sha1sum / sha2-512sums. and a .par2 (or .par3) file.
Additional info : 1) the pieces might contains cross file boundaries, having null data (if it doesn't because of config), contain several files, etc... 2) there was several formats for it, but it's all clearly specified in the (various) specs
I'm using 1.4.3.
How do I verify downloaded torrents against a torrent file or bittorrent magnet link? Everything I've tried fails. Here's an example:
