How does bencoding actually work?

The examples of bencoding given are much, much less helpful than they should be as they are not accompanied by an explanation of how the process operates, which is far from self-evident from the examples. It's similar to having a page entitled "foocoding" and having an example saying "the foocoded form of bar is baz, and the foocoded form of quux is xyzzy". Not very helpful without an explanation of how the clear text and cyphertext relate to each other.Thisisnotme 12:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
