Thank you for reporting this issue!

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine to run the sample executable that you have provided. (And if I did, I would be worried about a possible virus.) Could you paste the panic stack trace, or provide a source code version of the sample?

I read through the source code for bencode-go/struct.go, and it looks like this panic can happen when trying to deserialize a bencode integer into a go struct that has a string field.

I don't think this is an error in the bencode library. Instead, I think it is due to a mis-match between the format of the encoded data and the struct you are trying to deserialize into.

A work-around would be to use the Decode API to return generic Go data structures, and then pick through the generic Go data on your own.

@jackpal Thanks for your reply.
