Is there a way to generate .torrent file from a magnet link using the MonoTorrent .Net library? If so can someone explain with an example? I searched the site as well as googled but cant find a solution. if it is not possible are there any other windows commnd line utility that will get the job done? thanks and appreciate ur help in advance!
yes, It could be done using the monotorrent library.
you could take the hash value from the magnet link and use it to create a torrent manager that will create a torrent file before downloading.
if this were the magnet link:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:18981bc9759950b4715ad46adcaf514e6a773cfe
hash=18981bc9759950b4715ad46adcaf514e6a773cfe;
manager = new TorrentManager(InfoHash.FromHex(hash), downloadsPath, torrentDefaults, downloadsPathForTorrent);
this should download a torrent file to 'downloadsPathForTorrent', and you can stop the download as soon as it begins.
hope this helped.
