## Usage
After executing and load all torrent or magnet files, a web interface will be available at `http://localhost:4444`
It contains information about the mounted routes and torrent files like download/upload speed, leechers, seeders...
### Configuration File
2021-11-29 10:53:37 +00:00
You can see the default configuration file with some explanation comments [here](https://github.com/distribyted/distribyted/blob/master/templates/config_template.yaml).
### Routes
Here there is a list of all available routes with their torrents and some info. You can add and remove torrents from here too.
### Servers
Servers is a way to generate magnet files from folders.
All servers configured using the config yaml file will be here.
When some data is changed on these folders, a new magnet URI will be generated.
You can share that magnet URI with anyone to share these files.
