# btsethttpseeds(1)

sets http-seeds information in torrents

## NAME

btsethttpseeds — sets http-seeds information in torrents

## SYNOPSIS

**btsethttpseeds**  *seedURLlist* *file* \[*file* ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

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

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

**btsethttpseeds** is a program which will change the http seed   URLs of an existing torrent file. The already existing torrent specified by   the *file* argument will be modified to use the new   http seed URLs given by the *seedURLlist* argument.  These alternate URLs will be used to seed the file if there are no other seeds available.

The *seedURLlist* can be '0', or formatted as follows:

*URL*\[\|*URL* ...\]

if the *seedURLlist* is '0', any http seeds currently in *file* will be stripped.
