| * **"path"**: a list containing one or more string elements that, together, represent the path and filename. Each element in the list corresponds to either a directory name or (in the case of the final element) the filename. For example, a the file "dir1/dir2/file.ext" would consist of three string elements: "dir1", "dir2", and "file.ext". This is encoded as a bencoded list of strings such as l4:dir14:dir28:file.exte Important Notice: BitComet also includes empty directory when creating torrent, that is the file name here may be zero-length string. | * **"path"**: a list containing one or more string elements that, together, represent the path and filename.
