Although the popularity of Netflix and domestic video websites has brought a lot of resources, there are always various film and television resources that need to be downloaded. Xunlei is also not doing well, with illegal resources everywhere, and the number of offline downloads for members is limited to 60 times in the latest version. So if you have a VPS with a ladder, it is very convenient to use idle resources to download seeds.
Introduction to Cloud Torrent
Cloud Torrent is an offline download client written in Go language. It is installed on the VPS and can be used to conveniently manage and download tasks through the web page. Offline downloaded resources can be downloaded to the local computer via HTTP. The github address is here.
Cloud Torrent Installation
Many tutorials have one-click installation versions, and there are also docker versions that are very convenient. I was lazy and used hyperapp, an iOS client for managing VPS, which can install scripts through docker with one click. Of course, if you have your own domain name, you can also associate the domain name.
Enter the VPS address: port in the browser to open it, for example 192.168.1.1:666
The interface is very simple, and the three buttons in the upper right corner represent configuration, download and file management.
Cloud Torrent Configuration
The seeding function in the picture needs to be turned off. Otherwise, the VPS traffic will be used up.
Cloud Torrent Download and File Management
Enter the link in the top input box to download;
Cloud torrent supports magnetic links. Although it does not support eMule, if you enter the ed2k link, it will still search for the corresponding file in the existing resources. After using it several times, the search results are not ideal. If you need to accelerate the download of eMule links on a large scale, you can only use 115 network disk.
The middle is the task status. The speed of foreign seeds is very fast, often at 10M/s;
Below is the file status. Click the small folder icon in front of the file name to view the downloaded content. You can click on the video file to download it directly, or copy the link to download it in other download tools. The best thing is that you can directly copy the video link to other players for streaming.
Play videos directly
Many video players support direct playback by inputting links, and support importing external subtitles.
IINA player on MacOS, Pot player on Windows, and nplayer lite on iOS are all good choices. I tried all three players and there were no problems, but QQ Video on Windows could not play.
