SYNOPSIS

bttrack [ option ... ]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bttrack command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

bttrack is a program that serves as a "tracker" for bittorrent clients. This program keeps track of the completion of each client, and communicates that information when requested to other clients.
