Unfortunately no, though I'm hunting for one that does, and lets me save it.

Do you have python? And a BitTorrent encoding library: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bencode/1.0 ?

Then I have something which will help: http://pastie.org/1559062

It conforms to http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html and can (of course) be trivially upgraded to conform to http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0017.html also.

Happy downloading.
