CreateTorrent Widget is a little widget for creating .torrent files. Just drop a directory or some files from Finder/Desktop on it and it will create a BitTorrent file on your desktop.
JESTERPAUL I've installed this widget, and set the port number and tracker URL. What I'm missing is how to drag a file or folder into dashboard from outside of it. I tried grabbing the file, then pressing F12 to activate dashboard, then dropping the file onto this widget. Nothing happened.
PHOI It makes a torrent for me fine. But I was testing it out. I sent the torrent to a friend and he dropped it into Transmission it didn't download. It just said downloading from 0 out of 0 peers. Was this my fault? After I make a torrent is there anything else I have to do to make it downloadable?
STEVE4656 This would be a great idea, if it worked. The widget installed OK, but nothing happens when a file is dragged over the widget - what am I missing here? (Version 1.0)

WOJTEKR It is using now BitTornado python bundle, as suggested - original torrent tools seem to go well with .torrent files it generates. Thanks for the hint. (Version 1.0)
