Creatig a new torrent with bitflu - adrian-bl/bitflu GitHub Wiki

Bitflu can create new torrent files without any external programms (createtorrent-console is not needed).

1. Place the data that you would like to publish in workdir/import
2. On the telnet console run 'create_torrent --name "Name of the Torrent"'

Bitflu will block for a few seconds (but logs output to stdout) and drops a copy of the torrent file into workdir/tmp

Note that this torrent is a trackerless torrent! You can also create torrents with trackers using the create_torrent command:

 create_torrent --name example --tracker http://example.com/foobar

See 'help create_torrent' for more details.

Btw: If you would like to give your torrent more seeding-priority you should run the 'seedprio' command to increase it:

 seedprio queue_id 4

This will reserve 4 upload slots for your torrent.
