Magnet link mystery Hi,
i was playing around with magnet link, and try to download somthing from the MagnetMix website. It (magnet link) didn't work with any of the audio file (always Need More Sources with Size = ?).
However, it did work perfectly for some episodes of The Scene (which's great btw).
Then i tried to actually do search (in Limewire) for the file "The Scene" and no results came out, however, the download (initiated from the magnet link) still continued super fast.
Why is that ? Why are magnet links able to locate (and download) files which could not be found with normal Limewire search ? I understand all magnet links do is to sends HTTP request with some parameters to the Limewire client. Those parameters contain something else (other than file name and content hash) that i don't know ?
I'd high appreaciate all your helps.
Cheers. |
