[chef] Re: torrent hash is same for every torrent after the first

[Chris McClimans < >]

**The short of it**

I'm forced to opscode transmission cookbook on local files as the
cookbook requires urls that end it .torrent. (Not that big of a deal,
but I'm unsure of a clean solution)
Every transmission_torrent_file[] after the first one, reports the
torrent hash of the first, keeping it from being loaded into
transmission.
I'm unsure how to debug or proceed.


**Possibly useful background**

The opscode transmission cookbook will only treat torrents as remote
files if the start with 'http' and end with '.torrent'.
* 
https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/transmission/providers/torrent_file.rb#L97
:
* if(new_resource.torrent =~ /^(https?:\/\/)(.*\/)(.*\.torrent)$/)

The urls I have for the torrents I want to use don't follow that logic:
* ie 
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/windows/xp/x86/chipset/11.08/download/torrent

However the driverpack urls do have the filename in the
Content-Disposition header.
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Content-Disposition

To help decide the local target filename I decided parse the body/blob
of the torrent file to give us the name of the file that will result
from running the torrent:
* resp.body.bdecode["info"]["name"]

So I wrote a script to generate the the default attributes:
* http://ix.io/1Rl

Which results in a somewhat readable dictionary.
* 
https://github.com/passionengine/ii/blob/master/site-cookbooks/unattended/attributes/default.rb#L40

That looks something like this:
default[:unattended][:driverpack][:torrents] = [
  
{:url=>"http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/windows/xp/x86/bluetooth/9.10/download/torrent";,
  :sha256=>"1bc4d487fae0c0b963e8f5a98778fe5ebd07ce403d0b6bc48f748a8363e0caaf",
  :content_filename=>"DP_Bluetooth_wnt5_x86-32_910.7z",
  :torrent_filename=>"DP_Bluetooth_wnt5_x86-32_910.torrent"},
 
{:url=>"http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/windows/xp/x86/chipset/11.08/download/torrent";,
  :sha256=>"fcbcd23b21b29b36db2e5e7899b40757a3b40a006e3f837c6e7678a6477dc432",
  :content_filename=>"DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_1108.7z",
  :torrent_filename=>"DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_1108.torrent"}]

I updated the recipe to utilize the new array:
* 
https://github.com/passionengine/ii/blob/master/site-cookbooks/unattended/recipes/default.rb#L139


**Now onto the meat of the matter:**


I have debug logs of the relevant parts my chef run:
* http://ix.io/1Rm

However when I do my chef-client run, the first torrent works fine:

### CORE PROBLEM
# We should be done with Bluetooth right? No every torrent after that
reports a torrent hash = 4551e4bcfcd85ec04e0c28d5a151a0c1829fec19 and
doesn't get loaded into transmission.
