Hex strings

[JohnOne]

I'm working on a wrapper for aria2.

It's a commandline download tool essentially.

When a download starts, it is assigned an id (gid)

But for some reason I cannot fathom, the std output is The first 6 characters of the GID as a hex string

Somehow, it gets from this string gid "4a8667f0eb00f3ae" to this hex string "0ea33e"

And I have no idea how.

Any ideas?

Tried...

string Gid = addDownload();
byte[] ba = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Gid.Substring(0, 6));
Array.Reverse(ba);
var hexString = BitConverter.ToString(ba);
hexString = hexString.Replace("-", "");

Which gives me "373636386134"

Sorry if anyone wasted their time.

This was due to a mistake misreading the documentation, and multiple files downloaded when grabbing a torrent.
