Torrent Client
New torrents are added by putting torrents to the top bar. Adding is a torrent is fast and without any delay, and the download starts immediately. If a torrent has a low amount of seeds, Seedr wil notify you. Downloading is simple, no extra information about the torrent is provided. There is also no detailed information about torrent seeding which is very important to keep torrents alive.
The private trackers are supported, but only for users with a Pro plan or higher. Users with higher plans can use static IP for private trackers. The smallest premium plan offers only 2 slots for downloading. Other torrents are put in queue. The best plan offers up to 25 torrent slots, but costs almost $20 a month. This plan also offers WebDAV Cloud Drive.
Torrent Fetching
Download speeds are average. Finding seeds is sometimes fast, sometimes slower, it depends on many factors. During our testing, Seedr had a problem with downloading a less known torrent with 50+ seeds. The torrent was not downloaded even within a few days. We were not able to test downloading speeds because they are not provided, only some downloaded torrent are displayed when downloading.

Downloaded torrents are checked by Kaspersky Virus Scan. The reliability of Kaspersky Virus Scan was not tested because it is difficult to find a torrent containing a virus these days.
Downloading Offline
Seedr, for its premium members, provides a technology called Seedr Ultra Download. It is a network of smaller servers located in highly strained locations. Their solution is working OK without any large issues, but the download speed varies. We downloaded a test file of 5gb from our servers located in various locations and the results were slightly above average in the United States and Europe. In Asia, the speeds are super slow. Our servers are connected to the spine network hub and our speeds can be higher than on average home connections.
| Testing file size | USA Chicago | EU Berlin | SG Singapore |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.02 GB | ⌀ 143.1 Mbps | ⌀ 154.7 Mbps | ⌀ 57.2 Mbps |
(Tested on VPS servers from OVH connected to spine network, average speeds. Speeds on regular ISP can vary.)
All connections are encrypted and you use up to 8 parallel connections which is especially handy if you are using internet download managers with multi-thread downloading support.
