# btrename.bittornado(1)

change the suggested filename inside a bittorrent file

## NAME

btrename — change the suggested filename inside a bittorrent file

## SYNOPSIS

**btrename**  *file.torrent* *newfilename*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **btrename** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**btrename** is a program which will change the suggested   filename presented to the user for a bittorrent file download. This   will make the downloader save the download as a different name by default.  The torrent specified by the *file.torrent* option is modified   in-place, changing the suggested filename in it's meta-info to *newfilename*.
