This page is for everyone that want to help freepto running a BitTorrent seedbox.
We’ll assume that you know the basics of bittorrent.

This page is not just for people with tons of bandwidth and uptime: also casual user with ADSL connection are perfectly fine to help the torrent distribution being more resilient.

I’m an expert, tell me in two lines¶

Put the following lines in /etc/cron.daily/seed-freepto

#!/usr/bin/env bash
rsync  -za dev.freepto.mx::torrent ~/torrents/

Where ~/torrents is a directory watched by your bittorrent client.

Setup¶

Lot of bittorrent clients are ok: transmission, rtorrent, deluge… feel free to choose.

Watching¶

You need to use a client that can “watch” directories: this means that whenever you put a new .torrent file in that directory, your client will start downloading.

Here is how to do it for transmission

Seeding¶

You need to tell your bittorrent client to never stop seeding.
