Torrent Webseed Creator

Webseeded Torrent Creator using GitHub Actions.

Inspired by BurnBit † and URLHash.

Powered by these programs to create a torrent file.

An alternative to BurnBit and URLHash.

Convert direct HTTP link to .torrent

Your file is then burned into a torrent.

Torrents created are trackerless, relying on Distributed Hash Table and Peer EXchange, to help reduce the burden of torrent trackers.

For people that have unstable internet.
Can be paused because it is a torrent.
Utilizes the power of peer to peer downloads and the client-server downloads.
Combines the best of both worlds (P2P and Direct HTTP Link).
