NAME¶
btmaketorrentgui — GUI program to generate torrent meta-info files for
use with bittorrent
SYNOPSIS¶
btmaketorrentgui
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
btmaketorrentgui command.
This manual page was written for the
Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
btmaketorrentgui is a GUI interface to
btmakemetafile, it
generates the torrent info files that are distributed to bittorrent clients
(usually over http) to inform them of where the designated tracker for the
torrent is located, and to enable them to verify the file's contents.
btmaketorrentgui does not require arguments like
btmakemetafile
does, instead everything is done in the GUI interface. The first box in the
GUI is the file or directory that the torrent info file will be generated for,
the second is the "announce" address of the tracker (ex.
http://my.tracker:6969/announce). The third box is for an optional list of
announces, separated by commas or whitespace and on several lines. You can
also optionally set the piece size and a comment.
