howto create a torrent file?
 
Hi, i'm wondering howto create a torrent file?

Maketorrent doens't seems to work correctly with wine, and the sources does not include a makefile.

Are there any alternatives, i've heard that bittornado could do the job...?

Edit: without GUI just bash commandline

azureus can do this
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
you start it
and in the menu there is some sort of option to create a .torrent file
hope it helps :)

without GUI, just the command line

yes you can use bittornado.
There is a command to create a torrent file.

But azureus is still the best client to use on linux I think.

bittornado gives this:

# ./btmaketorrentgui.py
: No such file or directory

I'ts running on Debian (sarge)
libwxgtk2.4-python is installed

Bump? anyone

awh c'mon

that is because the system does not find the command in the current directory.

btmaketorrentgui.py is supposed to be in your path so you don't have to type ./ before btmaketorrentgui.py

try

$btmaketorrentgui.py --help

to see the options.
