Checking data integrity

Presets allow you to define and reuse common sets of options for creating or modifying torrents. This is particularly useful if you frequently create torrents for specific trackers with consistent settings.

Presets

Batch mode allows you to create multiple torrents from different source paths with varying settings in a single command execution.

Batch mode

mkbrr includes built-in knowledge about the specific requirements of various private trackers to help ensure the torrents you create are compliant. When you provide a tracker URL (`-t` flag or via presets/batch), `mkbrr` checks if it matches a known tracker and applies relevant rules automatically.

Tracker rules

When creating a torrent from a directory, `mkbrr` includes a feature to help detect potentially incomplete TV season packs.

Season packs

Control which files are included in your torrent using glob patterns for inclusion and exclusion rules.
