Features

  • Windows: .env file created in C:/torrent-creator/.env
  • Linux: .env file created in /home/<username>/.env
• Configurable Piece Size: Supports customizable piece size from 256 KB to 16 MB.
• Magnet URI Generation: Optionally prints a magnet URI after the torrent is created.
• Override Configuration via CLI: Allows overriding .env values like output path, announce URL, piece size, and more via command-line arguments.
• Interactive Setup: On the first run, the script will prompt the user for necessary configurations and store them in the .env file.
• Reset Configuration: Reset the .env file and reconfigure all options using --reset-env.
