Downloads
The server's torrent client: what it keeps, how to queue, seed and limit, and direct downloads.
The server keeps everything it downloads, as a torrent client does. Open Downloads on the dashboard.
The list
Each download shows its state (downloading, seeding, paused, queued, completed), its progress, speeds and peers. Select one for its details: General, Files (with a priority for each), Peers, Trackers, Pieces and Speed.
What you can do
- Add torrent: paste a magnet link or upload a
.torrentfile. - Pause, resume, force start, and move items up or down the queue.
- Set a seeding goal (a ratio or a time) and speed limits, for the server or per download.
- Add or remove trackers, reannounce, recheck the pieces, and export the
.torrent. - Pause all downloads with one switch.
Kept, never lost
A torrent that a screen played stays as a download. Leaving the player pauses it, 30 seconds after the last screen lets go; nothing is deleted unless you remove it.
Direct downloads
Search accepts a link: paste the address of a page or a video and the server lists what it holds (videos, playlists, magnet links, .torrent files) and downloads over HTTP, resuming where it stopped.
Engines
The built-in engine is torrent-stream. Settings › Downloads offers two optional engines, rqbit and Playpex’s own torrentd, installed from there; choose one and restart the server.
Downloading copyrighted content may be illegal where you live: you are responsible for what you add.
