The torrentutils are a set of utilities for managing BitTorrent
|
||
|
|
(`.torrent') files and interactiving with BitTorrent trackers.
|
||
|
|
The torrentutils contain the following programs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
torrenttool is a script that extracts and displays information from
|
||
|
|
BitTorrent files, as well as testing and generate checksums for
|
||
|
|
files listed in them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
defrag is a script that defrags files simply by making a copy of
|
||
|
|
the file. The original file is then replaced by the copy. Due to
|
||
|
|
the fact that BitTorrent splits files in pieces, and downloads
|
||
|
|
these pieces in random order, the downloaded files are often severely
|
||
|
|
fragmented. This means that reading these files will be slower,
|
||
|
|
sometimes as much as 30% slower. defrag can also recurse directories.
