mktorrent-GUI
mktorrent-GUI is a GUI frontend to the console-based mktorrent tool. There don’t seem to be any decent standalone torrent file creators on Windows. There is MakeTorrent, but that was last updated in 2004 and doesn’t support more modern features like private flags. My frontend aims to address these shortcomings and expose all of the functionality of mktorrent to the user via an easy-to-use interface.
CURRENT VERSION: 1.38

Of particular interest to hardcore torrenters is the batch mode feature. If a directory is specified as a source, mktorrent-GUI will scan one level deep for subdirectories and automatically create a torrent for each subdirectory. All of the usual features such as comments, piece size and the private flag can be set.
PROFILES:
As of version 1.30 mktorrent-GUI can load and save profiles. These profiles contain the following information:
* list of trackers
* list of webseeds
* whether or not the torrent is private
This feature is especially useful if you use multiple trackers and want to be able to
load them in quickly.
The profiles are in XML format and are straightforward enough to be hand-edited, if desired.

Technical notes:
The mktorrent executable was compiled with Mingw 5.1.6 under GCC 4.4.0.
System requirements:
Windows XP/Vista/7 x86/x64 + .NET Framework 2.0 or higher

When running under Linux, mktorrent-GUI searches for mktorrent under /usr/bin as a prerequisite.
You will need a recent version of mktorrent (>=1.0) installed.
The Windows EXEs and DLLs (mktorrent.exe, pthreadGC2.dll, libeay32.dll) can be safely deleted.
