Hi, I want to use this library, But I literally have no idea how it works. How does this library create torrent files?

In bencode.py, decode_str() you have first condition like:
try:
colon = data.find(":")
So, if you have a string like: "4test", you have to be failed.

raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type)
urllib2.URLError: urlopen error unknown url type: udp

getting this error when trying to download torrent

bencode.decode(data) fails with data from some .torrent files like:

test2.zip

Hi,

I can see the handshake code, but couldn't find routines to download pieces. Could you confirm this code doesn't support actually downloading data over BitTorrent?
