NAME
btmakemetafile --- generates torrent meta-info files for use with bittorrentSYNOPSIS
btmakemetafile trackerURL file|directory [file|directory ...] [--piece_size_pow2 num] [--comment comment] [--target file] [--filesystem_encoding encoding] [--httpseeds seedURLlist] [--announce_list announceURLlist]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the btmakemetafile command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
btmakemetafile is a program that is used to generate 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.
btmakemetafile requires two arguments. The first is the trackerURL which is the "announce" address of a tracker (ex. http://127.0.0.1:6969/announce), the second is the file or directory of files that are to be included in to torrent.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options is included below.
- --piece_size_pow2 num
- set the piece size to this power of 2 (0 = automatic) (defaults to 0)
- --comment comment
- optional human-readable comment to put in the torrent file (defaults to '')
- --target file
- optional target file for the torrent (defaults to '')
- --filesystem_encoding encoding
- an optional encoding specification for the filesystem (set automatically in recent Python versions) (defaults to '')
- --httpseeds seedURLlist
- a list of http seed URLs. These alternate URLs will be used to seed the file if there are no other seeds available. The format of seedURLlist is as follows:
- URL[|URL ...]
- (defaults to '')
- --announce_list announceURLlist
- a list of announce URLs. This is an optional list of redundant/backup tracker URLs. The format of announceURLlist is as follows:
- URL[,URL ...][|URL[,URL ...] ...]
- where the URLs separated by commas are tried randomly, then the groups of URLs separated by pipes are tried in sequential order. If this option is omitted, it is assumed you don't want an announce_list field in the metafile. If announce_list is given, clients which support it will ignore the trackerURL value. (defaults to '')
EXAMPLES
These examples show how to use the --announce_list option in a few scenarios.
Try the three trackers (1-3) in sequential order:
btmakemetafile trackerURL file --announce_list http://track1.com|http://track2.com|http://track3.com
Try the three trackers (1-3) in a randomly selected order:
btmakemetafile trackerURL file --announce_list http://track1.com,http://track2.com,http://track3.com
Try the main tracker (1) first, then try the two backups (2 and 3) randomly:
btmakemetafile trackerURL file --announce_list http://track1.com|http://track2.com,http://track3.com
