Convert a byte[] array to readable string format. This makes the "hex" readable!

/*
 * Java Bittorrent API as its name indicates is a JAVA API that implements the Bittorrent Protocol
 * This project contains two packages:
 * 1. jBittorrentAPI is the "client" part, i.e. it implements all classes needed to publish
 *    files, share them and download them.
 *    This package also contains example classes on how a developer could create new applications.
 * 2. trackerBT is the "tracker" part, i.e. it implements a all classes needed to run
 *    a Bittorrent tracker that coordinates peers exchanges. *
