How do you propose to ensure backwards compatibility with the millions of torrents already produced?
- VMG 10y agoNew clients could support multiple hash algs, so old torrents would not be a problem. New torrents could provide hashes for multiple algs, depending on the extensiblity of torrent format. Otherwise the torrent sites could provide two URLs or torrent files.
- yAnonymous 10y agoDepends on the implementation, which I'm not familiar with, but there are definitely ways to handle that.
