I first came across this amazing torrent down-loader accidentally. It’s quite funny that i was looking for seeds (the one used in farming) and happened to tme this “seed”.
I would call this seed since it’s an amazing way all you need is to put the seed (copy-paste the magnetic link) and grows into big and beautiful tree (the downloaded content). I was fed up with all sorts of downloading trouble i was facing as many sites other than seedr offered this service but data was limited and hence i couldn’t download and torrent takes too much time to download the content with less number of seeds and hence this happened to be an amazing life saver to me.
Seedr is a next-generation app aiming to bring the torrent experience to the next level.
Stream movies, music, and books on any device
With top-in-class streaming technology, Seedr allows you to watch movies, listen to music, or read anything in your torrent library directly from the cloud on any device.
Private and safe
Seedr has high-level transport encryption to protect your privacy, and there is no need to worry about malware, viruses, or outside tracking – Seedr is the barrier protecting you.
Very fast
Seedr runs on a high-speed backbone and can fetch torrents to the cloud within several minutes down to several seconds.
Fetch and stream torrents on your mobile device
If you’ve ever tried using torrents on either tablet or phone, you’d quickly find out how impractical that is . Seedr is the solution – with special mobile-friendly protocols we created a snappy, fast mobile site that has all the functions you get on your PC – including streaming, subtitles and high speed direct downloads.
WIth Seedr you can :
- Fetch torrents as direct-download zip files
- Stream movies, with an integrated subtitles search mechanism
- Listen to music
- Read eBooks
We believe that downloading torrents can be friendlier and safer, and plan on expanding the already rich features of the site in the near future.
Currently under development:
- A desktop application
- Built-in chromecast and apple airplay support
- New streaming technology that would allow near-instant seeking and wider mobile support
We designed the app around the user, and not the other way around. Using the site should be no more complicated than using your own PC.
Since it’s browser-based, Seedr also works across devices – “anything but a sewing machine” according to David. Seedr also has a
Chrome plug-in which enables users to add a download to Seedr in just two clicks – right-click on the link, left click on ‘Add to Seedr’. Done.
“The entire system was built to provide smooth streaming without wait-times for conversions ( even on phones ), and fast download speeds to home computers. All servers are 1000mbit or faster, and tuned for torrent, and file download traffic,” David says.
When attempting to stream to our Android test device there was an initial delay while the file converted but viewing was seamless after that. The black window that first appears needs to be tapped to reveal the playback controls.
Seedr collects anonymous data for bug fixes and the company says that all additional statistics are anonymized after 60 days. When users ask to have their accounts deleted, Seedr wipes their statistics along with the accounts within 48hrs.
Seedr offers a free tier and several packages for advanced users.
Free tier
– 2GB of free storage + more space for inviting friends
– Unlimited bandwidth, video playback support, high-speed downloads
– 1 parallel torrent download and 1:1 seeding ratio on public trackers
Premium
– 100GB-250GB of storage (1TB packages coming soon)
– Unlimited parallel downloads, HD streaming and
API access– 1:1 seeding ratio on public trackers
– Private trackers support with up to 5:1 or 5 days seeding ratio
In respect of copyright action, if Seedr receives a DMCA notice the company removes the offending torrent and advises the user. That is the end of the matter.
Overall
Easier to operate than uTorrent (by a long way), Seedr’s beauty lies in its simplicity. It’s hard to imagine anyone other than complete novices needing to revert to the
site’s tutorial. However, those that do won’t be disappointed as it reveals ways to integrate the service into Kodi/XBMC.
Free tier aside (which is a steal) it’s not cheap at $9.95 per month (two months free on annual rates) so the service might benefit from having a more limited lower-tier premium package around the $6 to $7 mark.
Those who obsess over the minutiae of their torrenting might prefer a full-blown seedbox experience, but Seedr knows its target audience and appears to serve them well.
