Title: batch torrent maker?
Post by: Brian Skalinder on August 31, 2004, 11:47:31 AM

I've used MakeTorrent for a while and like it, but right now I find myself wanting to make a whole slew of .torrent files - one for each secondary directory within a primary directory (but not the tertiary directories within the secondary).  For example, I want to make a single .torrent file for the contents of each SECONDARY.DIR in the following directory structure:

PRIMARY.DIR
---SECONDARY.DIR.01
---SECONDARY.DIR.02
------TERTIARY.DIR.01
------TERTIARY.DIR.02
---SECONDARY.DIR.03
------TERTIARY.DIR.01
------TERTIARY.DIR.02
---SECONDARY.DIR.04

Anyone know of an app for building .torrents that will allow me to do this in batch?

Jackass.  :P  Only you're supposed to give that response when a poster write "Someone should do X".  I'm just searching for information, pinwit - and yes, I've searched the board already!   8)

If I had the skills, I would.  But alas, I don't.   :-\

I use complete dir.

you should be able to point it to the primary directory and it will make a torrent file for each secondary directory, but not those within the secondary directories.

Thanks, Joe, I'll give it a try.  :)
