Schare — free BT/DC/eD2k seedbox for your releases

22nd July 2026 at 3:30am

I'm offering free BitTorrent/Direct Connect/Edonkey2000 seeding server for the release groups and individuals who upload unique content.
Schare = share with care.

What is this

In short: file preservation/archival service. Last-measure way to keep your releases available online.

This is a special file seeding server which shares all uploaded files in 3 major P2P networks: BitTorrent/Direct Connect/Edonkey2000.

It's made for release groups and individuals who:

  • rip and encode less-known, not widely available TV shows/movies/animation
  • dump or crack obscure arcade, console or PC games
  • translate manga
  • have old documentation, datasheets, magazines, books
  • or otherwise own a unique content worth preserving

You can use the server to make your data available in P2P networks, the server will keep your files and seed them indefinitely (as of 2026: 15 years and counting).

It's intended to be used by people who are afraid to use BitTorrent due to regulations, by authors with slow upload speeds or expensive internet connection, or without dedicated server or desktop to be able to seed all the time.

If you upload your releases only to file sharing websites where they could expire or be deleted any time due to DMCA, Schare will make your files available in the most popular P2P networks.

What you get

You'll be provided with a Linux shell with SSH, SFTP, and rsync access.
You can upload the files over SFTP protocol and manage them using SSH, with the aid of compressing, archiving, hashing and ed2k/DC link generating software.

Please note: this is literally a seed-box. It can't download any data, you'll have to upload it over SFTP yourself.

Rules

  • This service is intended to be used only by content releasers, to store and seed your own releases (with the exception for documentation, datasheets, magazines or other type of content where special handling is not required or notion of release is not used).
  • You must have at least one of your own already uploaded release somewhere (torrent trackers, forums, archives) to apply for the service.
  • Your folder is named with your username and is visible to everyone.
  • All your files are public. This is not a confidential data storage, but a last-measure service to keep your releases available online.
  • The service is hosted on my home server, with a home internet connection. Do not expect blazing fast speed or 99.999% uptime, but do expect long-term availability (as of 2026: 15 years of storage).
  • Let me know if you're going to use more than 300 GB of storage.
