Description-en: simple command line utility to create BitTorrent metainfo files
mktorrent is a text-based utility to create BitTorrent metainfo files
used by trackers and torrent clients. It can create metainfo files for
single files or complete directories in a fast way.
.
It supports:
- multiple trackers,
- embedding custom comments into torrent files,
- multi-threaded hashing.
.
It also supports setting the "private" flag, which advises the BitTorrent
agents to refrain from using alternative peer discovery mechanisms,
such as Distributed Hash Table (DHT), Local Peer Discovery (LPD),
or Peer Exchange.
