Raw
PrivateTorrent.md

Install dep, and start tracker

sudo apt-get install bittornado ctorrent
bttrack --port 6969 --dfile ~/.bttrack/dstate --logfile ~/.bttrack/tracker.log --nat_check 0 --scrape_allowed full

Now, create a torrent file

ctorrent -t -u "YOUR_SERVER_IP:6969/announce" -s new_file_name.torrent file_or_folder_for_torrent

That will yeild a .torrent file. Send that file to your local system where you wish to download the files to and start it in a torrent client.

To start seeding the file run this and let your torrent do its business

ctorrent torrent_file_name.torrent
