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

31st January 2021 at 9:55pm

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

This is a special file seeding server which shares all uploaded files in 3 major P2P networks: BitTorrent/Direct Connect/Edonkey2000, made for release groups and individuals who rip and encode less-known, not widely available TV shows/movies/animation, dump and/or crack obscure arcade, console or PC games, 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 (unless something happens with it).

It's intended to be used by people who are afraid to use BitTorrent due to regulations, by people with slow upload speeds or expensive internet connection, or without dedicated server or desktop to be able 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 get Linux shell with SSH and 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.
  • You must have at least one of your own already uploaded release 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.
  • Notify me if you're going to use more than 300 GB of storage.

How to apply

You'll need an invite code.
It could be found on several torrent trackers in Schare topic, or it could be requested at schare@valdikss.org.ru.
