BTDeploy

BTDeploy is a BitTorrent based deployment app for massive file collections that need to be distributed to many machines. Ideal for deploying file collections to servers within a data center.

Usage

Add a deployment torrent.

BTDeploy add -t <path to torrent> -o <deployment directory path>

Process will exit immediately. Daemon process will download and seed asynchronously.

Add a deployment torrent and waiting until it finishes downloading.

This process will exit once downloading has completed and the seeding will continue asynchronously.

BTDeploy add -w -t <path to torrent> -o <deployment directory path>

Process will exit once download complete. Daemon process will seed asynchronously.

Add many deployment and terminate once everything has completed.

BTDeploy add -w -t <path to torrent 1> -o <deployment directory path 1>
...
BTDeploy add -w -t <path to torrent N> -o <deployment directory path N>
BTDeploy wait --stop *

Create a deployment torrent.

BTDeploy create -n <torrent name> -f <deployment file source> --trackers <comma seperated list of trackers>

Create a deployment torrent and start seeding it.

BTDeploy create -n <torrent name> -f <deployment file source> --trackers <comma seperated list of trackers> -a

Handy Trick

Diffs will only be downloaded for newer versions of a file collection. This is due to the hash checking done before downloading. Hence only the blocks of files that are different will be downloaded. Used in combination with the --mirror flag, identical new versions of file collections will be deployed in no time.
