How Xunlei Download Links Work and How to Convert Them

Next, I'll explain in detail how these links are encoded and converted. Once you understand it, you can use Xunlei to download software from FlashGet- and QQ Xuanfeng-specific links.

First, you need to understand Base64 encoding. If you don't, look it up on Baidu before coming back. Base64 encoding is an encryption algorithm; raw email information is made up of Base64-encoded data. These special download links all use Base64 encoding. Example Xunlei URL: thunder://QUFodHRwOi8vc29zb2J0LmNvbS9aWg== Actual file download link: http://sosobt.com/ Once you understand Base64 encoding, everything becomes straightforward: Example original address: QUFodHRwOi8vc29zb2J0LmNvbS8xLnJhclpa 1. Encoding Xunlei links Add "AA" before the original address and "ZZ" after it (without quotation marks). The address becomes AAhttp://sosobt.com/1.rarZZ The Base64 encoding of this address is QUFodHRwOi8vc29zb2J0LmNvbS8xLnJhclpa To make the Xunlei link, prepend thunder:// to that address: Thunder://QUFodHRwOi8vc29zb2J0LmNvbS8xLnJhclpa 2. Encoding FlashGet links Add "[FlashGet]" before and after the original address (without quotation marks). The address becomes [FLASHGET]http://sosobt.com/1.rar\[FLASHGET\] The Base64 encoding of this address is W0ZMQVNIR0VUXWh0dHA6Ly9zb3NvYnQuY29tLzEucmFyW0ZMQVNIR0VUXQ==&sosobt To make the FlashGet link, prepend flashget:// to that address. Note that you also need to append an "& symbol". I am not sure how that suffix is determined; the information at the end belongs to Haohaoai, and no one has reported a conversion error so far: Flashget://W0ZMQVNIR0VUXWh0dHA6Ly9zb3NvYnQuY29tLzEucmFyW0ZMQVNIR0VUXQ==&sosobt 3. Encoding QQ Xuanfeng links Xuanfeng is much simpler: directly Base64-encode the original address to get aHR0cDovL3Nvc29idC5jb20vMS5yYXI= To make the Xuanfeng link, prepend QQdl:// to that address: qqdl://aHR0cDovL3Nvc29idC5jb20vMS5yYXI= This is fairly basic information, but I wanted to save it here for reference. Anyone building a magnet-link search site can make use of it...
