| I'm kind of starting to get the hang of XML and stuff and extended some filehashing program to export/update an XML file and then made a little stylesheet for it: http://darkfader.net/temp/URI%20generator.png It outputs magnet URI with sha1, tiger, ed2k and filename. Any recommendations of how to add size,crc32 and other hashes to a magnet URI? Encoding schemes etc. What about P2P-client dependent sources? I think the magnet-uri page should be updated bit.

| Looks like an interesting tool! There isn't yet any standard way to add a length parameter to a magnet-uri, but discussion at that list may generate a proposed way soon. I don't believe there would be any compelling reason to add a CRC32 to a magnet URI that already includes any truly secure hash; it'd be redundant/useless info, and reliance on CRCs for most purposes should be discouraged. Don't understand your other questions, but feel free to follow-up with more detailed queries here or (even better for magnet-uri topics) the magnet-uri discussion yahoo group.
