cross-seed

Download once, seed everywhere

New private trackers make ratio tough at first. You can’t upload until you’ve downloaded, so progress starts slow — unless you can seed what you already have. cross-seed changes that by matching torrents you already have and seeding them on other trackers, so you can contribute immediately without extra downloads or manual searching.

The result is stronger swarms and healthier trackers. More seeds means faster downloads, longer retention, and better availability for trackers — while you build ratio and seed size without babysitting your client or duplicating data.

Benefits


Download once, seed everywhere

Share your existing torrents across multiple trackers automatically — no manual searching, no duplicate downloads.

Maximize seed size and seed time

cross-seed runs in the background, automatically cross-seeding new downloads to all your trackers and watching for new uploads that match what’s already in your library.

Stronger swarms, longer retention

Increase availability on every tracker, helping torrents stay alive and healthy for the whole community.

Advanced Features


Seamless matching, even with renamed files

Renamed or reorganized your media library? cross-seed can still match and seed it.

Partial Matching

Match and seed torrents with samples, NFOs, or other extra files you don't have, as long as you have the core data files.

Integrates with your setup

Works with qBittorrent, rTorrent, Deluge, and Transmission, plus Torznab providers like Jackett and Prowlarr.

Supports IMDb/TMDB IDs

Finds cross-seeds based on unique movie and TV show IDs, so you get accurate matches even if titles vary across trackers.

Rescue lost torrent libraries

As long as you still have the data files in some form, cross-seed can figure out the rest and re-seed your library.

Win races before they start

Enter swarms as a 100% seeder the moment they’re announced by pairing cross-seed with autobrr — before the uploader even finishes connecting.
