Multitracker Torrents - BitTornado Howtos

• There are two methods for making multitracker torrents in BitTornado.

GUI Method

• When making a torrent with BitTornado's btmaketorrentgui command, you have a fairly simple configuration to deal with.
• The announce url should be one of the trackers from the first tier of your announce-list
• The announce list should contain lines of trackers, one tier per line, with trackers within the tier separated by commas or spaces.
• Reference Screenshot

Command-Line Method

• When making a torrent with BitTornado's btmakemetafile command, the handling is a bit different

btmakemetafile(.py) <announce url> <filename> --announce_list <announce list>

• The <announce list> paramater contains the entire announce list of the torrent, where each tier is separated by a "|" character and the trackers within each tier are separated by a ","
