im making a simply app to download torrent files, using MonoTorrent. But i cant load the torrent properly, and I've looked all available information.
That's the code im using:
Imports MonoTorrent.BEncoding
Imports MonoTorrent.Client
Imports MonoTorrent.Client.Tracker
Imports MonoTorrent.Common
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
End Class
Module BitTorrentAnnounceReader
Sub main()
'load Torrentfile
Dim TorrentFile As torrent = ("D:\youtorrent.torrent")
Console.WriteLine(TorrentFile.Name)
'generate annouce paramters
'since we simluate a BitTornado Client double check PeerID and Key Paramter
Dim AnnounceParameter As New AnnounceParameters
AnnounceParameter.BytesLeft = TorrentFile.Size
AnnounceParameter.BytesUploaded = 0
AnnounceParameter.BytesDownloaded = 0
AnnounceParameter.Port = 12224
AnnounceParameter.InfoHash = TorrentFile.InfoHash
AnnounceParameter.PeerId = "T03I-----" & GenerateTorrentClientKeys(11, 1)
AnnounceParameter.ClientEvent = TorrentEvent.Started
'a torrentfile can have more than one url, we use only the first one
'the url should have http to work for this example
Dim AnnounceUrl As String = TorrentFile.AnnounceUrls.Item(0).Item(0).ToString
Console.WriteLine(AnnounceUrl)
'the full announceurl that will fired to tracker
'we are simulating a BitTorando Client
Dim FullAnnounceUrl As String = CreateAnnounceString(AnnounceParameter, AnnounceUrl, GenerateTorrentClientKeys(6))
'building a webrequest for tracker request; some silly line look at comments on
'MonoTorrent.Client.Tracker.HTTPTracker.Announce
Dim req As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(FullAnnounceUrl), HttpWebRequest)
req.KeepAlive = False
req.Proxy = New WebProxy
'we want to simulate a BitTornado Client, so http headers
req.UserAgent = "User-Agent: BitTornado/T-0.3.18"
'to simulate full client we need also gzip but for better usage we dont use it
' req.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip")
' If (resp.ContentEncoding.ToLower().Contains("gzip")) Then
' Str = New IO.Compression.GZipStream(Str, IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
Dim response As HttpWebResponse = req.GetResponse
Dim fs As Stream = WebResponseToStream(response)
Dim peers As List(Of Peer) = AnnounceGetPeerList(fs)
Console.WriteLine("Tracker returned:" & peers.Count)
For Each PeerInfo As Peer In peers
Console.WriteLine(PeerInfo.ConnectionUri.Host & ":" & PeerInfo.ConnectionUri.Port)
Next
Console.ReadKey()

The problem only appears in the load file .torrent part:
Dim TorrentFile As **torrent** = ("D:\youtorrent.torrent")
Vb.net throws me an error of "Type expected 'on the text torrent. there any solution? Thanks to all!
