Ok, so I have a bit of a strange problem: I'm not quite sure how to explain ... Basically I try to decode the bencode file (.torrent file), now I tried 4 or 5 different scripts that I found through google and SO without any luck (get a return like this in a non-dictionary or error output from the same)
Now I upload the .torrent file this way
wget http:
and I conclude that something happens to the file when loading this way. The reason for this is because I found this site that will decode the .torrent file that you download online to display the information contained in the file. However, when I download the .torrent file, just without clicking on the link through the browser, but instead using one of the methods described above, it also does not work. So did anyone experience a similar problem using one of these methods and find a solution to the problem or even explain why this is happening? Since I can’t learn much about it or don’t know the workaround that I can use for my server
Update: Well, as @ coder543 suggested to compare download file size via browser versus wget. They are not the same size using smaller wget style results, so the problem with wget & curl not something else .. idea?
Update 2: Okay, so I tried it several times now, and I'm slightly reducing the problem, the problem seems to only happen on torchers and torrents. Links from other sites seem to be working properly or as expected ... so here are some links and my results from different methods:

So, it seems to me that it works well on some site, but sites that are actually on torcache.net and torrage.com provide files. Now it would be nice if I could just use other sites without relying directly on the cache, but I work with bitnoop api (which pulls all the data from torrage.com, so this is not an option) anyway, if anyone that is, the idea of how to solve these problems or take steps to find a solution will be very grateful!
Even if someone can reproduce the results, it will be appreciated! ... My server is 12.04 LTS on a 64-bit architecture, and the laptop with which I tried to compare the actual download is the same
