Create torrent-file via command line

The problem with this is that it would be a real mess of options due to the fact that you can have files, trackers, http seeds, etc.. Those would be kind of painful to specify.

Does anyone have an example of a program that actually does this?

I have mentioned in other threads... but most of the command-line programs and/or utilities are Linux based.

The above link works. It seems your connection was problematic.

Yeah, I think their site was down for a time, but their download link was still working.

Anyway, I just wanted to report that I was able to successfully get this working on my server for a software delivery/tracking application I'm making. Basically I was able to script the creation of a torrent using CreateTorrent and then add it to a copy of Azureus/Vuze that I have running in command-line mode on the server. I then scripted it to use telnet to log in to Azureus (had to use telnet to support potentially several log-ins at once from the server performing various tasks) and host the torrent and track it.

All in all - pretty freaking cool stuff.

Huge props to the makers of CreateTorrent and Vuze/Azureus for making that possible!
