Batch create torrents from folders

[transflava]

I wanted to create torrents for all folders in a given directory.
Requirement: ignore hidden directory and files, create torrent only for folders.

This is how to do it:

Code: Select all

find -L -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '*' ! -name '.*' -printf '%f\n' | while read file
do
transmission-create -t  "http://tracker.com" -p -o "$file".torrent  "$file";
done

Could you explain to a noob how this is done?

This is for *nix only. If you want to have torrent for each folder (Album 1, Album 2). If you open console you just paste the code and press enter. Torrents Albumname1.torrent and Albumname2.torrent appear after which you can use them to seed them etc.
