That looks promising.
User jordan on #transmission (freenode) said he will work on implementing
web seed in `transmission-create`, the utility for creating .torrent files
which comes with Transmission. See

I found a tool called "mktorrent" that has this webseed feature (in

Transmission ( http://transmissionbt.com/ ) is, I believe, a popular choice
