[feature request] Create torrent from local files

This app is really extensively configurable, but I could not find a way to create a torrent. As such, I request a dialog for creating a torrent from local files, with the following additional options:

  • Setting the piece size in the interval of 16 KiB, 32 KiB, 64 KiB, 128 KiB, 256 KiB, 512 KiB, 1 MiB, 2 MiB, 4 MiB, 8 MiB, 16 MiB and 32 MiB and checking how many pieces that would result in
  • Source field
  • Comments field
  • Option to make the torrent private
  • Option to align files to pieces, similar to how clients like qBittorrent do it

Unfortunately, this isn't high on the to do list, primarily over concerns over violating Google's TOS for the app store. They tend to give extra scrutiny to apps that share user's content (privacy violations, copyright issues, security, etc). If a feature like this were to be added, it would probably be only available as a separate apk here on Github and on f-droid.

I'm not sure if there's an app dedicated to making torrent files, but that might be your best option.
