Every now and then, when I'm connected to a torrent a peer will connect that has a reference to "Swarm Merging" in their name. What is swarm merging?

You can extract, calculate and compare those hashes using this tool.

In the next bug-fix release of libtorrent the tool will have ability to generate magnet links to download torrents without duplicate files, saving storage, bandwidth and most importantly time.

Very useful for dumps, libraries, video/photo archives ;)
