 |
|
Hi everyone,
I'm just trying to create a .torrent file.
Anyway, I noticed that it's quite complicated to create a .torrent with btmakemetafile.py.
So I've been wondering, if there's some kind of GUI to this job ? (e.g something like MakeTorrent for linux ...)

btmaketorrentgui.py should do it 
part of the bittorrent package
The command line isn't that complicated... If I have the time I'll post an example.

No, asbolutely not !
Especially when integrating multiple files in one torrent this application is really copius !
Maybe someone can tell me how I can achieve this ?
Right now, I try it by typing
| Code: | | btmetafile.py tracker filepath1,filepath2,filepath3 -comment 'Bla Bla Bla' |
but I always get some sort of error ...  |

and BTW:
btmaketorrent.py --comment 'whatever' <whatever>.torrent <dirname>
btmaketorrent.py --comment 'KDE' kde.torrent .kde3.4/
works fine for me. |

Thanks for your response,
anyway I dont't want to install the whole azureus package just to create a torrent !
About the btmakemetafile command-line utility,
does somebody know how to create a torrent with multiple files in it ?

Ok I just solved the problem,
the BitTornado package contains a great Torrent Make GUI,
you can start it py typing btmaketorrentgui.py ... |
