Description
In LimeWire?'s source snapshot there is an interesting file allowing to check various links. Amongst them there are magnet links that instruct the client to deal with more than one file.
Examples: magnet:?&kt.1=limewire1&kt.2=limewire2 opens 2 distinct searches for limewire1 and limewire2 and,
magnet:?&xt.1=urn:sha1:RNYYWR7JDEW3HBTJNEPHED2UT4CSDSHD&dn.1=limewire1&xt.2=urn:sha1:RNYYWR7JDEW3HBTJNEPHED2UT4CSDSHB&dn.2=limewire2 triggers 2 downloads for limewire1 and limewire2.
magnet:?&xt.1=urn:sha1:RNYYWR7JDEW3HBTJNEPHED2UT4CSDSHD&dn.1=limewire1&xt.2=urn:sha1:RNYYWR7JDEW3HBTJNEPHED2UT4CSDSHB&dn.2=limewire2&kt.3=bingobozo
triggers 2 downloads for limewire1 and limewire2 and starts a search for "bingobozo".
I tried with FrostWire? 4.8.10 and these links do work fine but in Shareaza, they fail entirely. It would be useful to implement this feature so that people can link to two or more files. This may be interesting in several cases: linking to a video file and its subtitle files, to an executable and its language packs, etc. The current workaround is either to create an archive (zip, tarball...) or, when this is not possible, to use several links.
