Traditional download managers download files to your device. You wait for the transfer. You manage the storage. You figure out how to access it from your phone or TV. And if your connection drops, you start over.

Seedr works differently. Instead of downloading to your device, files download to our cloud servers at gigabit speeds. Once there, you can stream videos instantly, download to any device, or just leave them in the cloud until you need them.

No software to install. No ports to configure. No waiting for slow connections. Paste a link, and Seedr handles the rest.

How It Works

Seedr is designed around one simple workflow:

Your files stay in your Seedr account until you delete them. Access from your phone at work, your laptop at home, your tablet on the train. No syncing. No transferring files between devices. Just log in and your content is there.

Why Download to the Cloud?

Downloading to local storage made sense when internet was slow and cloud storage didn't exist. Today, cloud-based downloading solves problems you didn't know you had:

What Can You Download?

Seedr supports multiple ways to add content:

• Magnet LinksCopy any magnet link, paste into Seedr. We handle the transfer entirely server-side. No client software. No port forwarding.
• Direct Download LinksURLs that point directly to files (.zip, .mp4, etc.) can be fetched by our servers. Great for large files from hosting services.
• Supported SitesMany popular hosting sites work with Seedr. Paste the page URL and our system extracts the download link automatically.
• Browser ExtensionOur Chrome extension adds a right-click option to send links directly to Seedr. It's downloading before you finish reading the page.

File Management

Seedr isn't just a download tool — it's cloud storage designed around downloads.

Organize Your Files

• Folders: Create folders, move files, rename things. Organize however you want.
• Search: Find files by name across your entire library.

Common Questions

Is Seedr a download accelerator?

Not in the traditional sense. Download accelerators try to speed up downloads on your device by opening multiple connections. Seedr downloads files to our servers (which are much faster), then you stream or download from us. The result is effectively faster access to your files.

What magnet links work?

Any valid magnet link. Paste it, we download it. No client software needed on your end.

How fast are downloads?

Our servers run on gigabit connections. Most popular content downloads in minutes. Less common content may take longer depending on availability, but the download happens on our end regardless of your connection speed.

Can I use Seedr on my phone?

Yes. The web app works great on mobile browsers. Add links, manage files, stream videos — everything works. You can even add Seedr to your home screen for an app-like experience.

Is there a desktop app?

Seedr is entirely web-based — no app to install. This means it works anywhere you have a browser, always up to date, nothing to maintain on your end. For deeper integration, use FTP or WebDAV to mount Seedr as a drive.

What happens when I run out of storage?

Delete files you don't need anymore, or upgrade your plan for more space. We won't auto-delete your files — you control what stays and what goes.

Can I share files with others?

Yes. Generate shareable links for any file. Recipients can stream or download without creating a Seedr account. You can set links to expire if you want temporary access.

Why should I pay when free works?

Free is great for trying Seedr. But 2GB fills up fast. Premium gives you more storage, faster processing, higher quality streaming, FTP/WebDAV access, and instant v2 access. If you use Seedr regularly, Premium removes the friction.

What's the difference between v1 and v2?

v2 is our next-generation platform — faster, more features, better streaming (up to 4K). Premium members access both. Free users can request v2 access but may wait. If you're on the fence about Premium, instant v2 access is a strong reason to upgrade.

Is my content private?

Your account is yours. We don't browse your files or share them with anyone. Standard privacy policy applies. Generate sharing links only if you want to share specific files.
