Create torrents via command line!

py3createtorrent is a comprehensive shell/commandline utility for creating torrents (Linux & Windows).

Features

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

Basic usage

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

Install

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.
