easy torrent seeding

# step 1: place file to seed somewhere

# step 2: create the .torrent file
#         -n = file to create torrent for
#         -a = announce url, openbittorrent.com is a free open tracker
#         -c = comment
#         target .torrent file goes at the end
transmissioncli -n hd2-ubuntu_0.2.zip -a http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce -c "HD2 Ubuntu v0.2" hd2-ubuntu_0.2.zip.torrent

# step 3: seed
#         -w = directory where to save the contents of the torrent (or where to find the file, for seeding)
#         -v = verify data
#         -M = no portmapping (server has dedicated ip, do not use UPnP)
#         torrent goes at the end
# (and put it in a screen so that it doesn't stop on disconnect)
