Hmm...I don't really understand your request fully....

Normally you use Profiler->dir2dat to create a datfile from a selected folder from your storage media....it runs through the folders, calculates the hashes, sizes etc and forms a datfile from it.

What is your source? I mean what exactly do you mean with "from only dirs/size files"?

The built-in dat creator works on file basis, not http links. But of course there might be other datfile generators out there....
however, a datfile should contain a hash, i.e. you somehow need to read the full file to calculate sha1/crc32s
