pyLoad Seedbox — One-Click Hoster Downloads

What Is a pyLoad Seedbox?

pyLoad is a lightweight download manager for one-click hosters and direct download links — paste URLs from file hosts and pyLoad fetches them on your seedbox at datacenter speed, around the clock. It’s the minimalist alternative to JDownloader: fewer knobs, smaller footprint, same core job.

Why Run pyLoad on a Seedbox?

  • Datacenter speed: hoster downloads complete at our network’s pace, not your home broadband’s.
  • Queue and forget: paste a batch of links, close the browser, and collect the files later.
  • Light on resources: pyLoad barely dents your seedbox while ruTorrent and Plex do their thing.
  • Captcha and container support: handles DLC containers and interactive captchas through its web UI.

pyLoad on EvoSeedbox: What You Get

  • One-click install from your dashboard — pyLoad runs in its own isolated Docker container with automatic updates.
  • Self-healing: App Doctor watches your instance and repairs common failures automatically.
  • 36 active installs on our fleet — a quiet favourite among users who mix torrents with hoster links.
  • HTTPS web interface reachable from any device.

pyLoad’s plugin system covers hundreds of hosters and link crypters, decrypts folder links into individual files, and retries failed downloads on its own. Combine it with a watch folder and it becomes fully hands-off: drop a text file of links via FTP or FileGator and come back to finished downloads. Because it all happens on the seedbox, your home connection never lifts a finger until you fetch the results.

Set Up in Three Steps

  1. Pick any plan — every EvoSeedbox plan supports pyLoad, from $5/month.
  2. Click Install pyLoad in your dashboard and open its web UI.
  3. Paste your links (or a DLC container) and pyLoad starts downloading to your seedbox storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

pyLoad or JDownloader — which should I pick?

pyLoad if you want something light and simple; JDownloader if you need the bigger plugin catalogue and link-crawling features. Both install in one click, so trying each costs nothing.

Do I need premium hoster accounts?

pyLoad works with free links, but hosters throttle those hard. Add your own premium accounts in pyLoad’s settings to unlock full-speed downloads.

Do hoster downloads count against my bandwidth?

No — download traffic is never counted on EvoSeedbox plans. Bandwidth figures apply to torrent uploads only.

How do I get files to my PC afterwards?

Any way you like: FTP/SFTP, the FileGator web file manager, or continuous sync with Syncthing.

Put Your Hoster Links on Autopilot

pyLoad fits users whose downloads don’t all come from torrents: premium hoster subscribers who queue batches of direct links, and anyone consolidating scattered downloads onto one always-on machine. Run it beside ruTorrent and every kind of download lands in the same storage, reachable over FTP, HTTPS or Syncthing sync.

Every plan includes pyLoad and 50+ one-click apps — from $5/month. See plans and pricing →
