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. http://127.0.0.1:6969/announce).
       Every subsequent argument is a file that the torrent info file will  be
       generated for.
