Three Ways to Add Torrents

Your Evoseedbox supports multiple methods for adding torrents to your seedbox. Choose the method that fits your workflow best.

Method 1: Drag and Drop

The fastest method. Simply drag a .torrent file from your computer and drop it directly into the ruTorrent web interface. The torrent starts downloading immediately.

Method 2: Add Torrent Dialog

  1. Click the Add Torrent button in the ruTorrent toolbar (or press the + icon)
  2. Click “Choose File” to browse for a .torrent file, or paste a magnet link in the URL field
  3. Optionally set a download directory and label
  4. Click OK to start downloading

Method 3: Magnet Links

Copy a magnet link from any torrent site. In ruTorrent, click Add Torrent, paste the magnet link in the URL field, and click OK. No .torrent file needed.

Method 4: Watch Folder

Upload .torrent files to your seedbox’s watch folder via FTP. ruTorrent automatically detects and starts downloading them. Useful for batch-adding torrents. See Watch Folder Guide.

Method 5: Remote Add via Browser Extension

Install the Chrome Remote Torrent Adder or Firefox Torrent Control extension to add torrents directly from any website with one click.

Tips

  • Set a default label in ruTorrent settings to automatically organize new torrents
  • Use RSS feeds in ruTorrent to automatically download new releases from your favorite trackers
  • For large .torrent files (>2 MB), use the watch folder method instead of drag-and-drop
