What is Reddit's opinion of
Put.io?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
91 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Nano doesn't do smart contracts and such, so not "built on top of Nano" in the sense that you mean, I think.
It's just money, so anyone and anything can use it. Travala accepts it, for example, and put.io, along with many more.
I am the author of accept-nano. We use it at put.io for more than 2 years to accept payments and it worked well for us so far. The biggest advantage is not paying any fees to a 3rd party.
Check out Put.io.
You can go from any torrent magnet link to streaming on Chromecast in less than 60 seconds.
And your ISP can't detect it. ^(You guys can thank me later.)
Edit: Or you can thank me now. Sweet. Passing this love forward to EFF.
If you download WeNano, you can see a list of businesses accepting it :) There's also quite some websites and such accepting it - for an example, see https://put.io/ where they actually give a hefty discount for Nano payments.
Someone who works at put.io here. Let me try to explain what it is: Put.io is a service that downloads things for you. You get a private personal online space and whatever you want downloaded, magically materialises there. You can then send it to your mobile devices, stream-boxes, Chromecasts etc. It works with countless video sites, torrents and most publicly available files.
We have been accepting BTC since 2013, and /u/cenka here is our lead developer. He is very enthusiastic about Nano. After asking for a Nano merchant solution here, he decided to take matters into his own hands and built this payment gateway. He plans to opensource it next week.
For torrents you should check out https://put.io , basically you just copy whatever torrent links you want and paste into put.io and then you download directly from them over encrypted connection so ISP doesnt know what your downloading i usually get up to 20 mbs from them, plus if the torrent has already been downloaded onto their servers you dont have to wait for the torrent to leech. Its also good for storage as well , i got 500gb for $20 a month
https://put.io/ is well worth the $10 a month, it's like Google Drive that automatically torrents things. You download files from the site so it just looks like normal traffic. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
EDIT: Also use http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/osfuscate-change-your-windows-os-tcp-ip-fingerprint-to-confuse-p0f-networkminer-ettercap-nmap-and-other-os-detection-tools to change you OS fingerprint along with a user agent switcher extension in your browser. This will effectively kill SafeConnect and allow 100% uninterrupted access without the installation of any UF spyware. I did this for over a year and never had any issues. Talking about 10+ gigs a day of downloads on DHNet. Or just use Linux.
Just elaborating for OP and anyone unfamiliar, but put.io(https://put.io) stores all the public-facing torrents and then instantly sends them to your account. So you don't have to wait for the torrent to actually finish torrenting.
You need to better manage where you are downloading, what peers you connect to, and how much you seed. Media companies and studios who control the rights of copyrighted content hire third party companies that scrape popular torrents and prioritize IPs by who is seeding the most.
This is why most seeds are from countries that usually make it harder to bring charges against someone unless you are physically located there.
If you want to continue using your IP address to download that content you need to use private torrent trackers that are less likely to have anyone monitoring them. Most of the time not seeding to 1.0 is also helpful, as it's legally questionable if you have "distributed" the content and they would rather spend their efforts going after people who have distributed it.
You may also want to keep a block-list up-to-date. There is no reason to connect to the peers that are doing the monitoring, since they don't actually serve any data and simply waste bandwidth downloading from you. It's worth noting that a case has been thrown out in the past when the copyright monitoring company actually seeded the data to the user they later sued.
You can also use a VPN so that downloading actually occurs over a different IP and is encrypted over your network. Instead of copyright claims going to your comcast connection, they will go to your VPN provider, which you can simply sign up again anonymously.
Since you've been caught so many times it may be worth just going the VPN route to avoid any future headaches. If you're not interested in setting up a VPN, using SOCKS, etc. then you can use a third party service that downloads torrents for you as well, but they will typically have a higher cost, try put.io
Hey /r/piracy, I'm a frequent visitor of /r/piracy and the lone developer of moviemagnet. I posted this thread on here today looking for some constructive criticism and help with the overall direction of moviemagnet. I've been thinking about evolving it into a letterboxd type service or integrating put.io for video streaming. I'm just not sure about anything. Initially I set out to create a service that simplified movie torrent search, but now I want to make it into something larger in scope.
From their FAQ (http://faq.put.io/):
How much do you seed?
Here’s our current seeding policy: We stop seeding when the upload ratio is 1.00 for public trackers or when the torrent is inactive for 72 hours. (Whichever comes first.). For private trackers the seeding time and ratio changes with plans. You can see the current numbers on https://put.io/plans
I would not recommend using put.io as a seedbox just yet, because it might produce hit and runs. Sometimes we count 2.0 but the tracker counts less. We don’t know why.
I read it, as you only need it to store data, which you can up- and download on demand, right?
If you "only" need 40gb - and it has to be Windows, why not buy a the OneDrive standalone for a couple of bucks pr. month - it's pretty affordable and gives you 100Gb + access from any device you might want.
Put.io might also be an option for you.
A VPS will usually cost you a more pr. month, and might not be as easy to set up for you. However, I have used tilaa.com in the Netherlands, but the absolute cheapest Windows Server cost around $25 US pr. month.
I tried to make a subscription on put.io but got no option to pay with Nano Accept. Is it still enabled?
Edit: I had to deselect the 'recurring' option for Nano Accept to appear! Kool design!
Happy to give out some free trials. We just can't do it unattended because of abuse. Also, if you're already with us and want to upgrade to this plan, use this link instead.
https://put.io/ it is like your downloads folder but on their servers. you can use it as a seedbox etc. you can download lots of things from various places to your put.io account and use it in cross platforms.
I use it. Works fine. Not cheap...
I have very poor internet at home. Rural area. Shared from a 3G/4G phone. But it is fast enough to start torrents on put.io. Also many of my torrents on put.io are automatically started using rss feeds. Later I can use an external drive somewhere with better internet to download the files from put.io.
Also you can upload and share stuff with friends, using special links. And give "family" access to your storage. You can play video and other media directly from the storage, if you have the right client and fast internet.
If some other user has the torrent downloaded, you also have instantaneous access. No need to actually download the torrent. This is often true for recent and popular torrents.
Once I get faster internet, I'm likely to just use VPN and my own torrent server.
To clarify: I love this /r/shortcuts community, but it seems to be way too serious most of the times, so I just posted it have some more chilled out comments. :)
If you are wondering PornCuts is a torrenting shortcut that works with a specific seedbox that has a proper API to make use of Shortcuts called "put.io" and some torrent sites that have porn only. I can use it to display a random content, or some search result based on categories I have in DataJar, it returns the first picture of the torrent post and prompts a like or dislike button. like for download dislike to move onto the next one.
It is hard to share, because instead of making one big shortcut I would make 20+ small ones that pass results onto each other.
Let's break it down.
At Feral I can get 20 TBs across with some effort - that's including porn sites. Even though it is "unlimited" it is very much limited by the hardware. This is a mix of Deluge and rtorrent.
You might get 20 TB across in a month as well. Let's say you get 30 TB across. (I have no idea which network put.io uses or which torrent client they use, or which hardware setup they have, all of which has a major impact on how much you can seed).
So you are looking at 3TBs each - 3 sketchy TBs as that is putting is high.
You are looking at 1 TB storage which is kinda meh as you are only allowed to seed 14 days or 20:1 ratio (private servers), so no long term seeding.
You are looking at seeding 1:1 on publics.
On private servers you are not gonna be seeding 20:1 in that amount of time, not even porn - that I know of ;P
There are simply too much competition on privates from better seedboxes.
So in the end you are looking a spending 5$ for 1TB storage and 2-3 TB bandwidth. You are also gonna have a lot of hassle admin'ing the box. What happens when people quit?
​
Apart from the streaming, it just look like a crap box. The 14 days max seed irks me in particular.
​
Surely there are better options. Seedhost.eu springs to mind. You could probably stream with that as well using kodi.
Can you please elaborate on the purpose of put.io? It says it's not a backup service or syncing service, but then it says it's more like a remote version of /downloads. I'm failing to understand the difference between those two things? Is it basically a seedbox?
Also agree with others re design. Both sites could do with some design work.
How big is the game? There may be a solution but bandwidth is limited.
These work like seedboxes.
Bitport.io - free 1gb or $5 a month give it a torrent or magnet link and it'll torrent it for you and then you download directly from them. It's safe as you don't actually download anything.
put.io 24hours for $0.99 I think you get a 100gb with them
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet. There's this service: Put.io. The only drawback is that, this is a paid service. Create an account, their lowest plan is like 5 bucks a month. Log in, start fetching files. They allows you to upload or link a torrent file or a magnet link, then their servers do all the downloading/seeding/peering. Once complete, you can download the file from their servers.
I primarily use put.io. This is the unofficial Android app that supports casting. For $10 a month it replaces Netflix, Hulu, Plex, and just about everything else. Many of my friends have converted...
> not intending to spend money lol
$3/month is hardly "spending money".. you pay for your internet connection right?
> Plus I'd just torrent them than buy a VPN
If you are in the UK and you are using Public Indexes.. I highly suggest you use a VPN, read the thread I linked
The only reasonable solution is going to be to find an unblocked site (there are probably many) or use a VPN
Or.. you could use a service like https://streamza.com/ or https://put.io/ to stream torrents :)
If the files you are downloading are less than 1.35gigs, you can use a free seedbox from put.io. Note if you use that link to sign up I will get a little extra free space, and so will you.
Thanks for letting us know about this! I just signed up with the referral code given. If anyone wants to sign up with my referral code I'd appreciate it, gives us both some extra space. https://put.io/r/03YT
Yeah, never understood why anyone would pay to watch their own stuff. I mean, I's on my harddrive, why would I pay anyone to watch that?
I could understand it, if it came with some kind of cloud space, where I could put my stuff, and whatch it from there (like put.io does), put my local stuff? LOL.
Thanks. Those are just for managing a the torrent client though. What about being able to selectively download files from a shared seed box over HTTPS? I want to be able to pick and choose the things I download, so rsync/rclone aren't that suitable. I use aria2 with put.io's web interface at the moment and it works really well.
Thanks for your feedback, no idea what a seedbox is... may need you to enlighten me further...
Put.io is the option I currently use as its the only one that doesn't land me with multiple warnings in Australia.
The issue really is - Radarr has told the file to be downloaded, why is it telling it to download it again - Is there a way to configure it to wait a certain amount of time before downloading another release?
I don't believe it is put.io causing my issues. If I did not process the files, and had them sent straight back to the download folder configured in the Black Hole, it would be approx. 5-10mins, and another release of the same quality would not be downloaded.
They do support BTC, just go to the payment page and select it
You may want to check out put.io. This paid (not cheap?) service allows you to download files you find online via torrents and similar means, to a remote storage area you rent at put.io. And later you can download the files as a large zipped file. All anonymously.
You can also watch or share media directly from the service.
There are many other similar services.
Lol, yeah sorry for the laundry list, just hoping to find a recommendation for something similar bc there are so many alternatives with a wide variance of options. Seedr looks like a decent alternative (thanks!), someone else PM'd me about put.io which looks like it has many of the important features I'm looking for (add from RSS feeds, integrations with services like Plex, Streams video content from the site, no need to wait if someone else already had the seedbox download the file to its servers, etc). Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post, I'm very grateful to the community here!
As u/moralesformiles stated, its working again, so I'm good for now until it breaks permanently (since I bought the lifetime membership 12 years ago, I'm not going to switch yet, but I'd REALLY like the ability to integrate with things like Plex, so I may try something else in the future...)
This might be why some businesses offer a discount when paying in Nano. See for example https://put.io/ which gives a (fairly ridiculous, agreed) 20% discount.
I'd also say that if you convert more and more fiat into Nano, since it fundamentally is a better store of value than fiat, at some point it makes more sense to pay in Nano since otherwise you'd have to convert to fiat first.
Just checked out Cloudplayer on Android. It's fairly easy to download the files with a put.io app to your phone, then Cloudplayer plays them. And I'll be sure to ask for native put.io support later, if we all like it.
Pour ma part, je suis grand consommateur de séries, en provenance de plusieurs plateformes (Amazon, Netflix, HBO, etc.) qui m'obligerait à avoir plusieurs comptes payants. Donc je jongle entre un à deux abonnements légaux, et je complète avec put.io. Je recommande grandement ce service, ils font les téléchargements torrent à votre place, seedent correctement, et vous récupérez les fichiers à très haute vitesse, ou en streaming (compatible Chromecast etc.). En plus, on peut automatiser avec des flux RSS, par exemple depuis ShowRSS.
> Just want to use it to torrent stuff, then download it to my pc, the easier to use the better i guess. Dont really need a lot of features.
I used Seedr.cc for about a year with few problems but then a few weeks back, I'd get a "network connection lost" error message every time (this may have something to do with Xfinity security settings?) so on the advice of r/seedboxes I signed up ($10 per month) with Put.io and they've worked fine since then.
Like you, I just want to watch a couple of weekly tv shows and occasional movie and didn't want something complicated with a bazillion options that I'd have to download and to learn how to use, the above are simple copypaste and click sites.
Thank you so much for thinking about this. My problem with accepting heavy users as advertisement cost is that it would advertise the wrong thing (unprofitable use case) for us. It would multiply heavy users. I'd rather find a way to serve them without losing money first. Because put.io is a darn good at filling storage with Linux ISO's.
Maybe I am missing something with the service but wouldn't it only be faster if someone within the put.io or seedbox network is on the same service/platform? If they are rare torrents or overly leeched, it would only go the speed that seeders are able to seed.
If you home connection is 300 Mbit/s down, it would be the same if you downloaded it remotely and then downloaded locally.
- Don't assume something u haven't tested.
- I have a nvme from ovh , still I need put.io
- One can always test out the service by paying $0.99
- Its roughly 1-3 gbps most of the times anywhere. have tested in NL, SG, UK
- plus instant caching for a lot of stuffs & waiting to download after gathering peers in a seedbox for public stuffs both are different things.
- money goes in maintaining cache servers & cdn servers.
- The heading is seedr.cc replacement, put.io is a direct replacement
- Op uses public trackers.
- put.io is a cache service plus supports private trackers. it uses transmission, have used it on many privates sites, works flawlessly. uses LeaseWeb, one can get huge upload ratios on private sites.
- plus op is looking for :: " Looking for a simple copy & paste seedbox website, I don’t have the tech skills for anything else."
- seedr alternative: put.io
- it has a far bigger torrent cache,
- has perfectly working FTP, WebDAV & works with rclone
- has apps for ios & open source (user created) apps for android for management.
- cheaper than seedr.cc
- 100gb storage /$9.99, 1tb for $ 19.99 ...
- good support staff.
- has a very good web player with format conversion
- 1 tb plan can be shared with 4 users
I am less interested in Nano as an investment, moreso as a currency. That being said, I believe it's also pretty close to the ultimate store of value, if nothing else better than both gold and Bitcoin at the very least.
I do not see its strong investment properties as an issue for its usage as a currency. Given that Nano is feeless and settles instantly, businesses have incentives to offer discounts for paying in Nano, as for example put.io demonstrates. Barring that, I also like to pay in Nano because I'm genuinely enthusiastic about being able to have a cryptocurrency to pay with, rather than relying on centralized payment services, and it's incredibly easy to spend and replace.
As for the spam attack - annoying, but not much more than that. It was mostly a huge headache for the development team as obviously exchanges and such suffered, and I'm sure they'd contact the Nano Foundation about what was going on. However, it seems to have increased focus on anti spam measures, and I'm incredibly happy and optimistic about the balance/time-based prioritization method that we'll apparently have soon. That's what makes Nano truly spam resistant, and it's a third epiphany for me (first being Bitcoin for short-term decentralized consensus, Nano's Open Representative Voting for long-term decentralization incentivised, and now spam heavily disincentivized on a protocol level).
Hope that answers your questions! How do you feel about the same questions?
I think the first one that comes to mind is Kappture, who are using it in their Point of Sale terminals. 465 Digital Investments wants to use it for remittances and FX trading (see https://np.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/m13hxe/465_digitial_investments_let_me_introduce/)
Aside from that, it's just.. regular shops and websites accepting it. https://put.io/ is the first one that comes to mind there.
i did manage to finally get rclone to mount a cloud storage drive (put.io in my case) on this nas. after getting the arm7 binary from rclone site, i then got the archlinux arm pkg in arm7 for fuse2. i unpacked it and put the fusermount in /usr/bin and ulockmgr_server and mount.fuse in /sbin. the library files i put in /usr/lib and recreated the symbolic links. rclone worked but only as root user. no other user mount worked. but that was good enough for me as rclone offers enough mount options. the drive cannot be seen using nfs but is fine using smb.
do you have a thread already for questions and comments.
I was wondering.
so i do kaput transfers:add URL but where do i get the folderID. is there an lsPostid command or something.
Thanks again for releasing this, its the best Put.io access system there is.
Hiya Rajohns08. We were not aware of Autodl-irssi. Is this a very popular practice?
About implementing it: You know our MO. We need to see demand before doing anything. As always, if developers of autodl-irssi were to decide to include put.io as a client, we'd be very happy to help.
I think it would be better to work on put.io integrations for good opensource book players with the required features and development roadmap rather than try to turn Put.io 's app into a ok book player that doesn't focus on that side of development.

I know you said no sync tools, but this one is developed in-house and pretty good: https://github.com/putdotio/putio-sync-desktop
Makes a putio-sync folder locally and at put.io, then seamlessly syncs these folders.

I believe Put.io can do what you ask for. You can even play movies directly from there, using their web app. Or play movies stored there from a plex client, using a plugin. I think. I haven't tested the plex thing, I use Emby. (Emby doesn't have a Put.io plugin.)
I assume many other cloud storage services can do this, and more.
Oh wait! It worked - just needed to correct the watch directory. Hmmm - now, here's the clincher - can the applet automatically delete the torrent file from dropbox, once put.io picks it up? 🙈
LOL! OK here's the deal... when I'm on the move, and I log on to my private tracker and if I want to download a torrent, I can simply save it in my "watched" dropbox folder and Put.IO will automatically pick it up and start downloading.

I used it and worked like charm but only one issue now. Is there a rclone command (I didn't see on their website at least when I read) where it automatically download anytime, I put file in folder on put.io website.
Thanks a lot.
You can use a cloud storage service that also provides torrent downloads.
Then you can download torrents to the cloud storage and later download the files from the service, possibly compressed as zip-files, over ftp or http(s). Everything nice and anonymous. However, it is not free...
Example: put.io
One year, 1TB storage, non-metered bandwidth, 50 active torrents and 50 queued torrents = $200.

Could you share a little more on what you would use put.io for? Reading up, it sounds like it's halfway between a dropbox and a seedbox - but without the integration you can normally setup with seedbox with your existing services.
OP must be spending at least $100 a month on a 50TB plan and put.io has troubles after not even downloading that much? I can't imagine OP is seeding everything as well, so it's not an ungodly amount of traffic for the price/plan.
Frankly it's a bullshit excuse from compainies that cannot deliver what they sell. If they can't handle 50TB then don't advertise it. It truly is that simple

I use Put.io. I can download, upload and stream from there. I use it as my torrent client. I mostly download, but also stream from there sometimes. Some media player allow streaming directly from there using plugins. I can even share stuff from there via links I send to friends. And also share the storage with family.
I suspect other services are cheaper. But I am happy...
It looks like I'm just going to install Kodi and give it a go. That really sounds neat to be honest.
I also use Debian testing exclusively for a long long time (since Debian 4 was beta). I also have put.io membership and it has a Kodi extension it seems.
That starts to look delicious to me.
I also have a properly licensed Windows installation but, the disk is in a box and sometimes mounted via an external cradle via eSATA for some odd stuff. I generally leave it on for a day so it can catch all the updates before it becomes usable :D
Thanks, I'm using put.io because I have seen it on IFTTT once a long time ago, now I just stick with it because of their very easy API.
The shortcut is not finished yet, I'm trying to make a json dictionary list at the beginning that contains more torrent sites and their seeding requirements, and see if I can add them all in the shortcut without making too many lines.
Came across put.io , but like you mentioned, is expensive
​
yourseedbox.com is one of the cheapest that I've come across thus far - can anyone vouch for them?
Ahw, ok so the JSON body part did not work for me, probably because put.io does not use {"input": at the beggining. it rather looks something like this:
{"transfers":{"name":"bloodshot" , "torrent_link": "piratebay.org/...."}}
Anyways I will just use integromat and I can still set different webhooks when I start a download using their API, and do what I have originally imagined.
Thanks for your reply!
- vpn leaks do happen.
- if you are using public trackers only, use a cheap leeching service like all-debrid / real-debrid or other services like <strong>put.io</strong> / seedr/ zbigz and download torrents directly without using a vpn & torrent client.
- if you are using private trackers then get a cheap seedbox.
I've just set this and works perfectly!
I've connected Infuse to a Plex server as the ATV Plex app doesn't support 5.1...
The only thing is that right now I need to manually download the content from put.io and add it to the Plex library. I need to find a better way to solve this. Any ideas?
Would a "service" be ok? You drop a .torrent or magnet link on a website, they download it, and then you direct download to your PC?
Stuff like seedr.cc and put.io exist but I guess are pricey for what you say.
A cheapo scaleway VPS could be the way to go is space is enough, or a BuyVM $2 VPS + $1.25 for 250GB storage and run a seedbox on that.
I cast both content from Netflix and my Plex library, as well as torrented stuff directly from Put.io without the need to download it first. All work without an issue. I also use the 2nd gen.
Whatever you need it for, put.io is a seedbox. It is really easy to use and has a built in player so you never have to download movies or tv shows if you don't want to. You download whatever you want straight to there in a couple of seconds and it washes the file so your ISP can't tell you are downloading whatever you aren't supposed to be downloading. Then you download the file to your computer from your seedbox, in this case put.io, and your ISP can't tell what the file is so it seems like legit internet traffic.
I was ready a forum earlier where someone was mentioned there were getting 90MB/sec. Then in a later release of rclone, it went down to under 25MB/sec due to changing from google api2 to google api3, there's meant to be a work around in the code now (this could be all old news).
I'm using put.io with webdav. My speeds are fine now, but I am having trouble starting the rclone mount with NSSM. Spefically getting caching to work. It works fine if I start it with command promt. Perhaps there is something wrong\missing with my argument in NSSM?
mount remote: p: --config "[...]\rclone.conf" --allow-non-empty --allow-other --read-only --buffer-size 512M
I just tried this. I like the simple interface very much. I only have TV shows on put.io and they all showed up nicely on the first screen. After navigating into a series though some of them were missing all artwork and some had the main artwork, but no screenshot or artwork for episodes.
​
Now the real issue I have is that none of the videos will play for me. They show, "Loading Episode". I am using this on an iPad Pro and my network seems to fine otherwise.
​
Best.
Nord is alright and they're not as expensive as the other options. You could go to r/vpncoupons to look for some better options. Also when torrenting with a vpn don't forget to turn on the internet kill switch option. I personally haven't tried anything like put.io myself, I'll consider it though, might be cool.
I have bought subscriptions to https://www.privateinternetaccess.com, https://surfshark.com/, and https://put.io using cryptocurrency without providing any personally identifying information. I'm not saying it was perfectly anonymous either, but more than sufficient--and as anonymous as I was willing to go through the effort of making it.
I've also bought a trezor, ledger and various other goods online that of course required a shipping address. But the payment portion required no identifying information, which is as it should be.
And even if you have to go through KYC to get into crypto (not true for many people), there are no (involuntary) tollbooths or middlemen internal to crypto. Once I'm in they can't force me to do anything without a court order or prevent me from doing anything without arresting me.
To be clear I report and pay all my taxes and respect lawful authority. But I don't have much sympathy for a system where the government can confiscate money from my bank account with no prior warning or chance to appeal or pursue legal recourse until after the fact--when I have no money. And can also, after seizing or freezing suspicious funds, nonetheless charge me with tax evasion if I don't report and pay taxes on those same funds they confiscated.
Donated to Natrium. Set up wallets and my parents phone's, demonstrated how it worked and gave them some.
Other than that some services I find useful have begun to accept Nano, like put.io which gives a 20% discount for paying in Nano.
> - torrenting is more efficient with put.io plan
Uhh unless I'm missing something this looks a lot less efficient and is basically just a seedbox alternative. Automating stuff with Sonarr/Radarr and self-hosting so you have direct instant access to the files seems a lot better. The DS218+ would be great if you wanted to start doing that sort of stuff - many of us have offloaded these types of tasks to our NAS via Docker.
Also keep in mind that RAID isn't meant to be safer than backups. That seems to be a misunderstanding. It works alongside your backups to maintain uptime. So more reason to go for the DS218+. The surveillance app always runs and in general the lower specs the more micromanagement you have to figure out to get things working consistently so that too is a knock against an ARM model. This is how all of these threads go and for good reason - many of us came from these weaker models and don't want people going through that same thing.
Have you tried https://put.io?
It allows you to download torrents from magnet links (among other sources like youtube), it does encoding and I think up to 2TB storage. They have apps and integrations for all kinds of platforms including Plex, FTP, WebDAV, web etc.
Disclaimer: my wife works there but I've been using this service for years before she got that job :)
Yes, as mentioned before, you have to pay, but I think it is worth it, paid services usually provide good functions. I was hesitant about paying for https://bitport.io or https://put.io..., but you have to consider the pros and cons.
Put.io will not seed a pre-cached (instantly fetched) torrent.
Other than that, this is their seeding policy:
>How much do you seed?
>Here’s our current seeding policy: We stop seeding when the upload ratio is 1.00 for public trackers or when the torrent is inactive for 72 hours. (Whichever comes first.). For private trackers the seeding time and ratio changes with plans. You can see the current numbers on https://put.io/plans
>I would not recommend using put.io as a seedbox just yet, because it might produce hit and runs. Sometimes we count 2.0 but the tracker counts less. We don’t know why.
- Checked out https://put.io - pretty interesting site

If you need to access plenty of torrents in your time at campus but have a slow or limited internet access, this service is perfect for you. https://put.io/
Their servers download the torrents at high speeds (50+mb/s, Or they don't even download them if another user has already downloaded the same torrent before), which you can then open (If its a video file) as a stream with VLC/MPC/Whatever (or simply download the video file, but that defeats the purpose of watching torrents instantly on slow/limited net).
However, If you're not interested in torrenting shows/games and only interested in PR then I can't really suggest this. Maybe if you're desperate enough do the 1-day "try it" subscription for 1$.
Edit: I tried adding the PR torrent right now and it finished instantly, meaning its already on their servers somewhere on some account, so there's even less waiting if you choose this way.
I use put.io to stream torrents. It is a paid service but totally worth it if you want reliability and more flexible features. Link to its (great) app.
Looks nice, though I gave up on downloading torrents a while ago, I just use put.io to stream them if they're audio or video, and if they're documents/files of any other kind, it's way faster to download too. It's 10 bucks a month but worth it. Still, this looks nice. Good to have options.
you can follow /u/icendoan's excellent advice, but another option worth considering is a service like https://put.io - you subscribe to their service, purchase an amount of storage space on their server, and you send the torrents to their service - they automatically download, seed, and store them for you, and a lot of the time they have the files on their servers anyway.
If they're popular (like the Centos 7.0 release for instance) so you get them instantly, and then when you go to download the files it's over a https connection, which looks like a regular file download from any internet site - all your ISP can tell is that you've shoved a file through an https connection that they can't see into, which could be a download of a linux ISO from an http mirror, a download of a windows dvd from your university provided dreamspark service, or an ebook of "The Encyclopaedia of Dangerous Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Jellyfish, Insects, Spiders, Crustaceans, Grasses, Trees, Mosses and Lichens of Australia" which runs to 29 volumes in 4 parts per volume, which you've purchased from amazon.
It costs very little to sign up, and I've used it for years with no issues at all.
There's a paid service for this, really cheap if you watch hundreds of movies like I do, called put.io. Their cheapest yearly plan is $99 and it will do all you could really want it to do. Plus they have integration with Roku, multiple mobile apps for different mobile platforms, allow you to download and manage your movies via FTP, and it's all downloaded extremely fast.
Looks like you could perhaps.. I don't know if it would be cost effective however :/
It might be cheaper and more efficient to use a service like https://streamza.com/ or https://put.io/
Or.. a Seedbox/Dedicated Server/AWS/etc
an alternative to torrent clients as a whole would be a service like put.io. it allows you to download torrents (and any other download link) to your account to stream/download from put.io with http.
advantages: if the file has been downloaded before it is instantly available to you. if it hadnt been previously downloaded then extremly quick download. Stream videos without downloading. No throttling from ISP. Your IP is not public. unlimited bandwidth.
disadvantages: free accounts only have 1GB of storage.
Referrals give both users a 350MB bonus in storage (up to 3GB) so the 1GB limitation can easily be skirted. For smaller files just download to your account, download locally, then delete from account and start over.
there are also sites like tvrip.info that have put.io integration to make it easier to keep up with your day to day tv episodes.
Put.io Referral link (so you start with 1.34GB of storage instead of just the 1GB, and help me out!)
P.S. put.io also has boxee, plex and xbmc add-ons so you can stream on your htpc/apple tv
