| Summary | 0000442: MAGNET-URI Link Support | ||||
| Description | posted by pixelcort: In addition to the existing support for ed2k URIs, support for MAGNET-URIs would be be wise. [MAGNET-URI Project](http://magnet-uri.sourceforge.net/) A MAGNET-URI is a URI that starts with the prefix magnet: . These links are network agnostic, not solely limited to Gnutella or KaZaA. At heart, it is a way of linking directly to some file by describing it's various attributes, such as hashes, filenames, accessible URLs, et cetra. Support for MAGNET-URIs include most Gnutella clients and KaZaA. Future clients may support these URIs as well. A typical MAGNET-URI looks like magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:YNCKHTQCWBTRNJIV4WNAE52SJUQCZO5C&dn=king.mp3 . The xt refers to a URI that represents the hash, and the dn refers to the filename that the downloaded file should be saved as. ed2k links lock users into one network. There is no reason why ed2k clients couldn't also handle magnet links. Though in the end, by supporting magnet links, you are supporting a network agnostic solution that can adapt to future networks. | ||||
