The idea was to split a '.torrent' file structure before initiating a download on a seedbox. Simple example would be removing all irrelevant junk (like ads, readme's etc..) from a movies torrent file.

Torrent File Structure Split (Experiment)

The idea was to split a '.torrent' file structure before initiating a download on a seedbox or similar torrent file downloading services. Simple example would be removing all irrelevant junk (like ads, readme's etc..) from a movies torrent file.

The experiments were carried out based on this repo BEncode Online.

Conclusion

Although I did succeed in changing the .torrent file structure, the end result is altogether a new torrent file that has its own unique info hash, meaning we lose all the original .torrent files seeders :(

Important sources that helped to arrive to the conclusion.
