How to automate torrent production and seeding

[sabretache]

I have what is probably a fairly simple requirement but one which I am struggling to implement.

My remote server runs a weekly cron job which produces a zip file and makes that file available for public ftp download. The file contains a full backup of a hosted web site together with instruction on how to run a mirror of it. The cron-job script maintains 4 generations of these files. In addition to ftp I would like to make these files available for torrent download and therefore require the cron job to generate the torrent/magnet files and have the server act as the first full seed for each - with no manual intervention.

The site/files can be viewed here:

The file named 'wikispooks-latest.zip' is a symbolic link to the actual latest file.

Can anyone outline how best to go about implementing this please?

Thanks x190. I've installed those.

I don't really need help with the scripting but what I am struggling with is trackers and registration of the torrents - or maybe I should just use magnet files?
