.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBbtmaketorrentgui\fR 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the 
\fBbtmaketorrentgui\fR command. 
.PP 
This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution 
because the original program does not have a manual page. 
.PP 
\fBbtmaketorrentgui\fR is a GUI interface to \fBbtmakemetafile\fR, 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. 
.PP 
\fBbtmaketorrentgui\fR does not require arguments like \fBbtmakemetafile\fR 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.
