libtorrent | an efficient feature complete C++ bittorrent implementation | Stream Processing library

Using sed

What did I do ?

Basically following: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/blob/master/docs/building.rst#downloading-and-building

Unzipping boost_1_78_0.zip into D:\boost_1_78_0, and running:

Hi according to follwoing commit on github libtorrent or rather the test.py. I would guess that you get the save_path like this:

I'm dealing with a similar issue. From what i've discovered there's no implementation for this use case in libtorrent yet. The answer from arvid (the creator of Libtorrent) in this question: Get alerts for upload activity with libtorrent (rasterbar) may give us a hint about how to achieve this.

Since i'm looking forward to implement this, i'm open to discuss about it and probably make a PR on libtorrent repo to achieve it: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/6247.

Assuming you mean "get" when you say "pull" and "call" (i.e. you have a torrent_handle and you want to know what its save path is); you can ask for the torrent_status by calling handle.status() and the torrent status object has a save_path member.

It's documented here and here.

Kindly follow the below given YouTube link. This would be helpful to you.

In short, just add the following two lines before "!apt install python3-libtorrent"

!python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

!python -m pip install lbry-libtorrent

First of all, there are two BEPs definining merkle-tree based torrents. BEP30 and BEP52. Neither enables sharing a file based on its merkle hash alone as they require some additional data to build a minimal viable torrent such as the piece size or the file size. To support multiple files, file names and other things some additional metadata is needed which ultimately gets encapsulated in the infohash. So torrent clients generally deal in infohashes, not file hashes.

You can bypass some of these requirements by choosing a fixed filename and fixed piece size and then generate a canonical metadata representation for your file. In libtorrent that could be done through the create_torrent() API by creating a v2-only torrent (BEP52 without backwards compatibility).

that call (std::map::find()) was added in C++14 (see docs). I see you pass in -std=c++14 on the command line as well. Are you sure your GCC supports C++14? It seems a bit old for that.

The current stable branch of libtorrent only requires C++11 support, if that is the branch you're building, there may be something wrong with the compiler support detection here. If you are building from libtorrent master, it requires proper C++14 support. So in that case you may want to use the stable release.
