Most people download torrents with desktop clients such as uTorrent but with a simple user interface and tiny learning curve, Seedr takes torrenting into the cloud. Hiding users' IP addresses from the public and with a totally free tier to get people started, the service is rapidly gaining traction.
But while seedboxes aren’t particularly difficult to operate or understand (most use a familiar interface), the majority are hidden behind a paywall. Although relatively inexpensive, this lack of exposure ensures that people interested in remote torrenting aren’t exposed to the experience.
This is where Seedr steps in. Essentially a torrent client in the cloud, Seedr offers a free service to get people started and is ridiculously easy to operate.
On a basic level it’s as simple as making an account (just an email address is required) and either dragging or uploading a torrent to the service. Seedr is also fully magnet link capable and can even find a torrent when supplied with just the URL of a page.
Seedr then does all the downloading and sharing itself without a single byte hitting the user’s machine (great for those who want to get on with other things) and without any local IP addresses being exposed to a torrent swarm. This means the service helps to maintain user privacy too.
As someone who collects old programs and a lot of abandonware, it's really hard to be certain what are you downloading when you find it somewhere on the internet. Seedr.cc is a great sandbox like environment to check a bit more what are you planing to download. Also, it's in the name - if you need to create a fast seed for your files, this is it.
Not to mention that it really helps if those old torrents are badly seeded, Seedr downloads them super fast, if there at least one seeder you'll get it pretty fast. Inspect it, download it.
There's one more function, and it's a blast - you can stream watch uploaded/downloaded videos.
Best thing about it? It's free, but there are certain paywalled functions, so you can subscribe to it monthly if you need more of everything. For casual users, it's gold. You can also get some free space expansion by sharing the good word about it.
If there's one thing I would like to see in the future, it is when magnet link or torrent is added, to select certain items from it and download only them, not the whole torrent pack.
