- Luminarys 9y agoIt also appears to be using a merkle hash tree for piece hashing now along with a few new peer wire messages to support that.
- phire 9y agoIt also switches to a merkle hash per-file and specifies that each file is aligned to the start of a piece, and the size of the last piece of each file matches the amount of remaining data. This means in large multi-file torrents you don't have to download (and store) the two extra 1-4mb pieces at the start/end of each file anymore.
- cjbprime 9y ago> official spec for webtorrent Huh, where do you see that? Not seeing any ctrl-f hits for webtorrent or webrtc.
- mouldysammich 9y agoWhoops, i skimmed and they mentioned the end user web browser and I assumed they had. I guess this is why they say when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
