NAME
bttrack - tracker for bittorrent
SYNOPSIS
bttrack [ option ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bttrack command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
bttrack is a program that serves as a "tracker" for bittorrent clients.
This program keeps track of the completion of each client, and
communicates that information when requested to other clients.
