Like Todd I haven't had a need...I think you should start by typing:
man btmakemetafile
That seems to be the appropriate thing.
I've tried 'man bt...' for all the bt* commands. Unfortunately, they
are not very helpful. 'man {anything}' tends to be great once you know
what you are doing and need a reference, but not so great as an
introduction or tutorial.
In summary: on Libranet, to install both client and server (tracker)
software:
apt-get install bittorrent -t unstable
Read the docs:
zcat /usr/share/doc/bittorrent/README.txt.gz | less
I also subscribed to the Yahoo!Groups lists for BitTorrent:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BitTorrent/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BitTorrent_help/
So far, I've gotten a tracker running and a .torrent file made. I now
just need to figure out how to modify my apache settings, "join" the
web server with the tracker, and modify my NAT/FW to allow connections
through. Where I'm stuck is that I'm not clear on how the tracker
knows where the ISO is.
That'll be tonight's project. Again, if anyone wants to pair-up to
stumble through this together, I'm game.
Regards,
