  1. Once you have all the prerequisites, you can start by getting a torrent from your favorite tracker. This can be a magnet link or a torrent file. We do not provide torrents or magnet links. You must provide your own legal torrents.

  2. On the dashboard page, click the Add Torrent button.

  3. Now in the pop-up that shows, paste in your magnet link, or you can click to upload (or drag & drop) your torrent into the window.

  4. To submit click the Add Torrent button near the bottom. If you are on the free plan, you will have to complete a captcha to fully submit the torrent.

  5. If nothing goes wrong, your torrent will be added to your dashboard and begin download at high speeds. Speeds are determined by your plan, but also by the number of peers and seeds on your torrent. A count less than 5 will lead to slow downloads, and anything over 1000 will also lead to slow downloads.

  6. Once your torrent has completed downloading from the peers, it go into the processing phase which does some final checks on the torrent and makes it cached.

  7. Once your torrent has the Download Ready badge, click on the torrent, and click the Download button. This will take you to the torrent's download page, with the list of all the files inside the torrent. From here you can direct download the entire torrent as a zip, or you can download specific files. There are many integrations to choose from, so pick the way you want to download.

  8. Wait for the torrent to be downloaded to your device. Depending on your internet speed and the size of the file will determine how long it takes to download. Our servers are very fast, so it should download at your full bandwidth speed.
