Torrent creator on Linux? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Is there any Torrent Creator on Linux that supports BEP-47 protocol (optimize alignment) ? It’s okay with or without GUI.

Currently using mktorrent, but does not support this important feature. I didn’t find anything on google.

Any suggestions? thanks.

EDIT: for creating v1 torrent.

Here's the link.

If you don't understand, then just think of it as the solution of 99% stuck torrents and need to download part of other files' pieces to check if given file is valid.

These files are the cause of torrents that are stuck at 99%

Quote from your link: "If used incorrectly or maliciously symlinks and padding files can result in internally inconsistent torrents which cannot finish downloading because they contain conflicting hash information."

Exactly, that's why clients with BEP-47 support should:

Ensure that adding and deduplicating such a torrent does not lead to loss of already existing data.

I doubt that there are decent torrent clients implemented BEP-47 without this sanitization, if any.
