BTMAKETORRENTGUI(1)

NAME
btmaketorrentgui - program to generate torrent info files for 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 which are distributed to bittorrent clients (usually via the WWW) in order to inform them where the designated tracker for the torrent is located, and to allow them to verify the file's contents.

btmaketorrentgui does not require arguments like btmakemetafiles does, everything is done in the GUI interface. The first box in the GUI is the file that the torrent info file will be generated for, the second is the "announce" address of a tracker (ex. http://my.tracker:6969/announce). The third box is for a list of announces, separated by commas or whitespace and on several lines, this is not required. Additionally, you can set a piece size or an optional comment.
