A tracker is responsible for the downloads and manages them. A user who runs a BitTorrent client connects to this tracker and announces which parts of the file the user allready has downloaded and which parts are missing. The tracker responses with a list of peers which allready downloaded the pieces and which should be contacted by the client to get the remaining pieces. The tracker url and the list of files are stored in a bittorrent file. Thererfore, this file is also called a metainfo file. With CreateTorrent your are able to create these files. This program automates creating the tracker for BitTorrent. Homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/createtorrent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
