FrostWire’s improved Magnet URI support (BEP 0009)

~ gubatron ~ Leave a comment

 

As of FrostWire +6.3.0 for Desktop, and FrostWire +1.7.4 for Android, all FrostWire clients can now interpret the new peer= parameter

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:<info-hash>&dn=<name>&tr=<tracker-url>&peer=<peer-address>

Where <peer-address>…

<peer-address>A peer address expressed as hostname:port, ipv4-literal:port or [ipv6-literal]:port. This parameter can be included to initiate a direct metadata transfer between two clients while reducing the need for external peer sources. It should only be included if the client can discover its public IP address and determine its reachability. Note: Since no URI scheme identifier has been allocated for bittorrent xs= is not used for this purpose.

The immediate result of being able to pass and receive this parameter on magnet addresses is that FrostWire will try to include as many ip:port available it can find so that others can connect to your peer, try sharing files on your local Wi-Fi network now, vs doing the same on older networks.

We don’t know if other BitTorrent clients already support this parameter, therefore we suggest that when sharing Magnets from your computer, you tell the other party to use a new version of FrostWire and you’ll have a greater chance of connecting right away.

Fun fact about this release

This is the first time in 9 to 10 years the whole FrostWire team works on a build in the same physical place (for one day at least in Miami a couple of weeks ago)

Content Decentralization for a healthier, freer, uncensored Internet

Lot’s of work went into it from multiple world cities (Miami, Denver, Santiago-Chile, Warsaw-Poland) it’s a decentralized project after all… and starting this release we’ll be putting a lot more emphasis on being able to seed files with ease.
We feel the internet’s content is becoming way too centralized by cloud providers, and this goes against the DNA of the Internet which is decentralization and file sharing.

So Let’s Seed
