  Description     : command line utility to create a bittorrent tracker

 A tracker is responsible for the downloads and manages them. A user
 who runs a BitTorrent client connects to this tracker and announces
 which parts of the file the user allready has downloaded and which
 parts are missing. The tracker responses with a list of peers which
 allready downloaded the pieces and which should be contacted by the
 client to get the remaining pieces. The tracker url and the list of
 files are stored in a bittorrent file. Thererfore, this file is also
 called a metainfo file. With CreateTorrent your are able to create
 these files.

 This program automates creating the tracker for BitTorrent.
