every once in awhile i get a bug up my butt about sharing my massive, curated library… but every time i get distracted by the volume of steps it would take to create the necessary shit to seed and then find a place that would even take those seeds to index.

ami doin it wrong? why is it so hard? napster was easy.

    id prolly be happy with it at the series level even, not necessarily the seasons… but one torrent seems like a pain to create… thousands seems arduous. without a lot of scripting that is. i’m checkin out retroshare also, thanks!

      Hmm, creating torrents isn’t that hard.

      for folder in * ; do
        transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
      done
      

      You can add a tracker by adding the --tracker "$trackerUrl" option. There isn’t much more scripting involved, AFAIK, unless you want to upload them to the tracker too. But if you join the DHT and share the magnet links somewhere, you should be done. Or is there more to the process I’m missing?
