Btpd is a utility for sharing files over the BitTorrent network protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
It runs in daemon mode, thus needing no controlling terminal or gui. Instead,
|
|
|
|
|
the daemon is controlled by the btcli command line utility, or other programs
|
|
|
|
|
capable of sending commands and queries on the btpd control socket.

The goal is to provide a healthy alternative to the still prevailing ftp/http
|
|
|
|
|
servers for file distribution sites and a good BitTorrent client for the
|
|
|
|
|
casual user.

Btpd is very simple and easy to use. The official README (which is located in
|
|
|
|
|
the standard documentation directory) is small and complete, so read it first.
