NAME
       btmaketorrentgui -- GUI program to generate torrent meta-info files for use with bittorrent

SYNOPSIS
       btmaketorrentgui

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the btmaketorrentgui command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       btmaketorrentgui is a GUI interface to btmakemetafile, it generates the torrent info files that are distributed to bittorrent clients (usu-
       ally over http) to inform them of where the designated tracker for the torrent is located, and to enable them to  verify  the  file's  con-
       tents.

       btmaketorrentgui does not require arguments like btmakemetafile does, instead everything is done in the GUI interface. The first box in the
       GUI is the file or directory that the torrent info file will be generated for, the second is the "announce" address  of	the  tracker  (ex.
       http://my.tracker:6969/announce).  The  third  box  is  for an optional list of announces, separated by commas or whitespace and on several
       lines. You can also optionally set the piece size and a comment.
