Using the Watch Folder #
The watch folder is a special directory on Ihrer Seedbox. Any .torrent file placed in this folder is automatically loaded into ruTorrent and starts herunterladening — no manual interaction needed.
So können Sie Use It #
- Connect to Ihrer Seedbox via FTP/SFTP (using FileZilla or similar)
- Navigieren Sie zu the watch folder in your home directory
- Hochladen one or more .torrent files into this folder
- ruTorrent automatically detects and starts herunterladening them
Wann the Watch Folder Is Useful #
- Large .torrent files: Torrent files larger than 2 MB may fail to hochladen through ruTorrent’s web interface. The watch folder has no such limit.
- Batch adding: Hochladen 50+ .torrent files at once via FTP — much faster than adding them one by one in the browser.
- Automation: Scripts or tools can automatically drop .torrent files into the watch folder.
Tip #
The watch folder checks for new files every few seconds. If a torrent does not appear in ruTorrent within 30 seconds, verify the .torrent file is valid and not corrupted.
