Re: how to support selection download

I tried to remove the actual allocation of pieces (where zeroes are written to the files) but that turned out not to work. My assert that tell() say the same thing as I pass to seek() failed. This is on darwin (osx). On Windows there is a SetEndOfFile() function. Dokumentation says it will truncate or extend the file to the file pointer position and the content will be undefined. Very likely other os's will have this too. I guess you have to call this function before before tell() will work. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?

I used to use torrent_info::num_files() > 1 to identify if the torrent's name should be prepended to the file paths. But since that is incorrect, I have changed the path entry in the file_entry in the iterators of torrent_info to be the full path (well, the full relative path). I also found a few security issues where names with paths were accepted in name and where .. was accepted in file paths.
