Well, I don't know about the packaging of bittorrent in Extras, but with a 
plain garden-variety bittorrent, my eztorrent package makes publishing 
content over BitTorrent as easy as:

ezt create mytorrents /var/www/html/torrents /var/mytorrents \
         www.example.com 6969

cp file1 file2 file3 /var/mytorrents

ezt start     # Or "ezt restart", if ezt is already running


“ezt start” creates any required .torrent files (in /var/www/html/torrents), 
then starts all the required seeders and trackers.  Copy more files into 
/var/mytorrents, and run “ezt restart” to create additional .torrent files, 
and start the additional seeders without affecting the existing seeders.

With just a little bit more work, “ezt start” can also juggle multiple 
trackers, but there's really nothing gained from it.
