rtorstat is a simple Web page generator that showsstatus information about the rTorrent bittorrentclient. This makes it possible to quickly have anoverview of your torrent list from a remotelocation without having to log into the remotemachine that actually runs rTorrent. It can be runthrough cron or as a CGI script.License: The Apache License 2.0Changes:
The license was changed to the Apache Licenseversion 2. The web page layout was improved withthe addition of progress indicators. When openingthe session files under Windows or through SAMBA,an exception was thrown. Information about thenumber of peers of each torrent was added. Theability to be used as a CGI script was added. Thebencode.py file from the mainline Bittorrentdistribution is now included. The date and time inthe "last update" notice are set to the time thesession files have been saved.

buildtorrent - a torrent file creation program.
SYNOPSIS
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl input output
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl -f filelist -n name output
DESCRIPTION
buildtorrent is a torrent file creation program. Given an announce url and an input file or directory, buildtorrent generates an output
.torrent file that can be used by torrent clients.
OPTIONS -a announce, --announce=url
Announce URL (required).
-f filelist, --filelist=filelist
A text file (or - for standard input) containing a list of files to add to the output torrent file, together with the path to use
inside the torrent. One file is given per line, use / as path separator for the torrent path, use | to separate the filesystem path
from the torrent path. Backslash can be used to escape newlines and | characters inside names. For example:
/data/files/linux.iso|bin/linux.iso
/data/files/linux.txt|doc/linux.txt
Using this option requires that the --name option be used.
-n name, --name=name

the name of the torrent directory. Usage without a file list overrides the name of the directory or file given on the command line.
