Suggestion: Adding ED2K hash in .torrent

[BigGreatGrandAwesomeWei]

Hello Zhang, I really appreciate your work in developing this project, dottorrent truely makes my works easy. I suggest to developing a feature of Adding ED2K hash in the torrent file, like Vuze Bittorrent Client does. Thank you a lot!

Hi, could you please explain what benefit this would provide?

Ed2k hash allows the data transmited directly between users without connecting the tracker server. So a torrent with ed2k hash might still work when the tracker server is inaccessible.

This is what DHT already does for non-private torrents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline_DHT#BitTorrent_Protocol_Extension
