I use the package transmission-create, available with transmission-cli. I don’t use mktorrent because transmission-create automatically choose the best conf for size piece.

Because I create a lot of torrent, I did a script available here.

You just have to:

1. Clone the repo
2. Open a console, here where you clone the repo, and execute chmod +x PublicTorrent.sh && chmod +x PrivateTorrent.sh
3. Modify configTorrent.cfg
   • setdirectory is where to put the .torrent in your computer
   • You must to set the two public tracker (public_tracker_un, public_tracker_deux and public_tracker_trois).
     Here good tracker you can use:
     • http://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce (you must to registrer your torrent)
     • http://anidex.moe:6969/announce (you must to registrer your torrent)
     • udp://tracker.moeking.me:6969/announce
     • and others that you can find here
   • You must to set the private tracker (private_tracker).
     Private tracker means disallow DHT and PeerExchange
   • Run $ ./PublicTracker 'myfile' or $ ./PublicTracker 'myfolder'
   • Upload your torrent somewhere and add it to your bittorrent software to seed your file (your file must be completed download on your site/you must have the file to seed it)
   • And it’s done :-)

The bittorrent software I use

My favorites are transmission-bt (or simply transmission) and qbittorrent.

The best conf for size piece

If you have to config it, here the best conf to choose your piece size; transmission is only compatible with max-size pieces of 2MiB, while qbitorrent can create up to 32MiB (but 16MiB is the max I recommend)
