Wikipedia about Bencode:
Bencode (pronounced like B encode) is the encoding used by the peer-to-peer
file sharing system BitTorrent for storing and transmitting loosely structured
data.
It supports four different types of values:
- byte strings,
- integers,
- lists, and
- dictionaries (associative arrays).
Bencoding is most commonly used in torrent files. These metadata files are
simply bencoded dictionaries.
For more information review the Bencode spec.
