I'm having trouble understanding what BEP-47 exactly is. Care to enlighten me?
Here's the link.
If you don't understand, then just think of it as the solution of 99% stuck torrents and need to download part of other files' pieces to check if given file is valid.
These files are the cause of torrents that are stuck at 99%
Quote from your link: "If used incorrectly or maliciously symlinks and padding files can result in internally inconsistent torrents which cannot finish downloading because they contain conflicting hash information."
Exactly, that's why clients with BEP-47 support should:
I doubt that there are decent torrent clients implemented BEP-47 without this sanitization, if any.
