Not good enough ! I want to read the whole contents of a torrent file in human readable maner ! Why ? Some torrent file caries much info abaut files when is more than one file included ! I can view this with TCM Lister plugin but not in human readable way ! So what to use to not encode edit and losse much time to do all by the hand ?

I have found a little error in ByteUtil.as, in the byteArrayToHexString function.You have forgotten to initialize the data.position before the “while” instruction. It is usefull if you wanna use this function in other applications.

public static function byteArrayToHexString(data:ByteArray):String{
var oldPosition:int = data.position;
var joinedBytes:String = “”;
[...]

Must be replace by:

public static function byteArrayToHexString(data:ByteArray):String
{
var oldPosition:int = data.position;
data.position=0;
var joinedBytes:String = “”;
[...]
Thanks for this application!!

Okay, I found the problem. I had heard that downloading AIR files doesn’t always work. The problem is with Internet Explorer. I use Firefox on both PC and Mac, so I never noticed the issue.

The link truly does point to an AIR file. You can see that when you put your mouse over it, even in IE. For some strange reason, IE thinks it should actually be a ZIP file when you try to download the file. Just change the ZIP extension to AIR and it will work fine.

I’ll see if I can find the fix Adobe recommends.

Juraj, the zip file only contains the source code. The AIR file is seperate. I have updated my post to make it more clear.

Thanks, Ian. I’ll take a look. I think I tested that situation at one point, but maybe I’m not remembering correctly.

Very nice work. Needs a minor error check at the start – I created a new torrent using the utility by accident, but didn’t populate it. Then opened the same torrent file and it hangs the Torrent Utility app – have to kill the process. Worked very nicely on “normal” torrents though. (-;
