Hi all,

Just starting with a new DNS-323. Already got ffp up and running with Transmission Daemon.
Since I'm accustomed to uTorrent, I'm missing/need the functionality to create torrents.
Corrent my if I'm wrong, but Transmission Daemon can't do that. Is there a package containing transmissioncli? or possibly some other tool just for creating torrents?

I'd appreciate your advice.

Do it with your uTorrent and then add to transmission list.

Thanks. Still, I'm hoping for a more "elegant" solution.

Thanks to the Transmission team and KyleK we now have a stand-alone command-line tool for creating torrents.
Transmission v2.10, available here includes it.
It's located at /ffp/bin/transmission-create

For instructions on how-to use it:

Code:

/ # /ffp/bin/transmission-create --help
Usage: transmission-create [options] <file|directory>

Options:
 -h --help              Display this help page and exit
 -p --private           Allow this torrent to only be used with the specified
                        tracker(s)
 -o --outfile <file>    Save the generated .torrent to this filename
 -c --comment <comment> Add a comment
 -t --tracker <url>     Add a tracker's announce URL
 -V --version           Show version number and exit

There's also a command-line torrent-editing tool:

Code:

/ # /ffp/bin/transmission-edit --help
Usage: transmission-edit [options] torrent-file(s)

Options:
 -h --help                Display this help page and exit
 -a --add     <url>       Add a tracker's announce URL
 -d --delete  <url>       Delete a tracker's announce URL
 -r --replace <old> <new> Search and replace a substring in the announce URLs
 -V --version             Show version number and exit

and

Code:

/ # /ffp/bin/transmission-show --help
Usage: transmission-show [options] <.torrent file>

Options:
 -h --help     Display this help page and exit
 -s --scrape   Ask the torrent's trackers how many peers are in the torrent's
               swarm
 -V --version  Show version number and exit

Good stuff!
