NAME

btcompletedir - makes a .torrent file for every specified file

SYNOPSIS

btcompletedir tracker_announce_address file [file...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the btcompletedir command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

btcompletedir is a program that 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.

btcompletedir requires at least two arguments. The first is the "announce" address of a tracker (ex. 127.0.0.1:6969/announce Every subsequent argument is a file that the torrent info file will be generated for.
