Create torrents via command line!
py3createtorrent is a comprehensive shell/commandline utility for creating torrents (Linux & Windows).
Some of the features:
- create torrents with multiple trackers or trackerless torrents
- automatically choose the most reliable trackers from ngosang/trackerslist
- fast torrent creation thanks to multithreading
- add webseeds to torrents
- create private torrents (disabled DHT, ...)
- exclude specific files/folders
- exclude files/folders based on regular expressions
- specify custom piece sizes
- specify custom creation dates
Creating a torrent is as simple as:
py3createtorrent -t udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce file_or_folder
The shortcut bestN
can be used for conveniently adding the best N trackers
from ngosang/trackerslist. Example:
py3createtorrent -t best3 file_or_folder
Multiple trackers can also be specified manually by using -t
multiple times, for example:
py3createtorrent -t udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce -t udp://tracker.cyberia.is:6969/announce file_or_folder
You can install py3createtorrent by executing:
pip3 install py3createtorrent
Of course, you need to have Python 3 installed on your system. py3createtorrent requires Python 3.5 or later. For using
Python 3.5 to 3.7 you need to install the typing-extensions
module.
