magnet link handling
 

hello.

imagine this situation

my friend sends me this magnet link:



ischgl_snowboard_360_2007_anuell.mov
magnet:?dn=ischgl_snowboard_360_2007_anuell.mov&xt =urn:sha1:US3S744LKPSNZJD5PBVTTUYPEWFSYRI3&xl=1741 22

it contains filename, size & hash....

good. limewire catches the download and tries to find this file in the gnutella network....

okay, but then discover that the same file hosted via http too here:

http://pipecheckphp.sourceforge.net/http2p2p/v1/demo/

i go to the site and click the new magnet-link to this file there

ischgl_snowboard_360_2007_anuell.mov
magnet:?dn=ischgl_snowboard_360_2007_anuell.mov&xs =http://pipecheckphp.sourceforge.net/http2p2p/v1/demo/index.php/.././files///ischgl_snowboard_360_2007_anuell.mov&xt=urn:sha1:U S3S744LKPSNZJD5PBVTTUYPEWFSYRI3&xl=174122
.

this is the same magnet-link but it includes a http-source of the file.

now when i click this link LIMEWIRE says "you already download this file" and phex then refuses to take new parameter into the download, so that LIMEWIRE tries to get the file from the newly gathered HTTP-source.

can you reimplement your magnet handling so, that existing download get updated with the new magnet data in case a new link is entered, please?

and also consider supporting the "xs" parameter ( file-size in bytes ) !

Thanks for your time and the :super: limewire :)
