Thread 1373356

I have a magnet link (or a .torrent file). I want to find the info about the torrent. Like size, name, directories, peers etc. Is there any website for this? I don't wanna download torrent or install any torrent client. I just need to find info about the torrent.

that information is only available by speaking the torrent protocol. the easiest way is by using a torrent client

you could also use a program that only speaks the protocol and can't download the files like bitmagnet. but that would be like going to Coke's factory to buy an empty bottle--just get a regular bottle and empty out the beverage

If you have a .torrent file, then it already contains the information about its contents - a list of files and their sizes.
A magnet link doesn't, because it's just a description (hash) of a .torrent.

But also, paste the hash into btdig (or some other indexer / archiver of magnets), and if its crawlers encountered this hash in the wild, then the information about its contents is saved there. For example: https://btdig.com/0f2a31835cd41c8e11d41209ad46e6ba45a0fc1f/

Peer list is not a part of the info about the torrent as such, first and foremost because it's dynamic information that changes every minute. There's a random number of people seeding or downloading this torrent at any given time. Some of them are discoverable be you by announces to the trackers or to DHT. Some others might not be (different peer swarms, connectivity issues, etc).
