What tools are people using to create batches of torrents? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For occasional torrent creation, qBittorrent has Tools > Torrent Creator, but suppose one has hundreds of folders from which to create individual torrents. A quick internet search yields forum posts from more than ten years ago mentioning dead projects. For example, this Reddit post from 2013 mentions qMakeTorrent, which is no longer maintained.

How are people doing this in 2025? I reckon one could write a bash or python script for this, but are there any user friendly tools out there that are built for this purpose and still actively maintained?

I remember using mktorrent a few years ago.

Seems like this might still be the way in 2025. Thanks for chiming in!

bash script + mktorrent

I had a feeling this might be the answer, so thanks for confirming my suspicion!

I think generally people use imdl in scripts nowadays, but I don't know if there's any GUIs or anything.

I'll check it out, thanks for the pointer!

Probably some command line tool.
