About NB TorrentCreator
NB TorrentCreator provides a cross-platform C# .NET application for creating torrents from files or folders. Using the MonoTorrent libraries, NB TorrentCreator provides a wrapper to the torrent creation features this library provides. The libraries are open-source and the source code for the NB TorrentCreator is freely available for download from this site. Some key features which set this application apart from the rest:
- The project is cross-platform; wherever the .NET run-time is supported. For windows you will need the Microsoft .NET framework, while in Linux, Project Mono will work. More information in the Download and Execute section.
- The project is open-source; the NB TorrentCreator Visual Studio 2010 project files are provided for download below.
- Many customizable features such as a varying number of piece size. While other torrent creators limit certain piece sizes, some private trackers have requirements as to certain sizes of torrent files and such. This provides more flexibility when creating torrents for these trackers.
Download and Execute
NB TorrentCreator is tested on Microsoft Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. However other versions of Windows and Linux should be fully supported as well if you satisfied these requirements:
- Windows: The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 run-time environment will be needed on the system.
- Linux: A Mono version supporting .NET 4.0 will be required. For Ubuntu mono-runtime version 2.4 has been tested to perform correctly. Please note that libmono-winforms2.0-cil will be needed as well for the graphics.
For windows, double clicking the executable should open the program. For linux, running mono NBTorrentCreator.exe in the command prompt should launch the program. Below are the executables and source code for NB TorrentCreator:
