View files, directories and meta information from a torrent metafile in Midnight Commander.

Requires Midnight Commander 3.1+ (http://www.midnight-commander.org/), Python 2.7+ (http://www.python.org/); module eff_bdecode.py from effbot.org/zone/bencode.htm is now included in the code.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.4.1 (2025-01-11)

Fix a problem with torrents that set creation_date too far in the future: limit the year to 9999.

Version 1.4.0 (2025-01-11)

Include eff_bdecode.py into the code.

The VFS lists all files and directories from the torrent metafile; all files appear empty, of course, but the sizes are shown. Filenames are reencoded from the metafile's encoding/codepage to the current locale.

Along with the files/directories in the torrent metafile the VFS also presents meta information - in the form of files in .META directory. The size and contents of these files are taken from the corresponding fields in the torrent metafile. The script doesn't check if the torrent consists of a .META file or directory (quite unlikely).

Date/time for all directories/files is set to the value of 'creation date' field, if it exists; if not date/time is set to the last modification time of the torrent file itself.

The filesystem is, naturally, read-only.
