NAME

       btmaketorrentgui — GUI program to generate torrent meta-info files for use with 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  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.

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