Features:

    * Class properties to get the most common data from the torrent file
    * Both Normal view and a tree view, preserving the structural form of the torrent file
    * A Debug timer to measure the overall time to load the torrent
    * Useful links
    * A thoroughly commented code (Mostly in the Torrent Parser class)

Notes:

    * I used a lot of casting because of the four (or even five) different types of data in the Bencoding, making the code a bit complicated. Though I have written other functions to compensate on this disadvantage.
    * It is advised to to understand the code better, but this is not obligatory
