¶ Intro
cross-seed is an app designed to help you download torrents that you can cross seed based on your existing torrents. It is designed to match conservatively to minimize manual intervention.
cross-seed can inject the torrents it finds directly into your torrent client. Currently, the supported clients are
- rTorrent
- qBittorrent
- Transmission
- Deluge
If your client isn’t supported, cross-seed will download a bunch of torrent files to a folder you specify. After that, I recommend using AutoTorrent2 to do the last-mile delivery into your client.
¶ Availability
