    Fully-automatic cross-seeding with Torznab

  • Take this from an idiot whose been scared to cross seed by using apps such as https://github.com/mmgoodnow/cross-seed and https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage and https://github.com/BC44/Cross-Seed-AutoDL and whatever else you can bring up. I tried them all, ended up giving up because I'm on Unraid and I'm worried about accidentally redownloading or messing up my stats on trackers where if I lost access to I'd be incredibly heartbroken. There's been threads here about using these apps and how easy they are, sure they are no doubt on some installations but on others like mine I just get tons of bugs and there's little to no support at all to help, and even if there was I don't really have the amount of time in my day to troubleshoot. Now here's where this beauty comes in, I found this beautiful application https://github.com/ccf-2012/seedcross that automates your cross seeding, and gives you an amazing web gui to work it all from. All you need to do is set up jackett or prowlarr (I personally recommend prowlarr to keep within the arrs) and then point it to your web ui of prowlarr/jackett and then your web ui of qbittorrent/transmission/deluge and you're golden. Just press the shiny blue button and you're off to the races; no flags, no arguments you need to fiddle with anything. Now don't get me wrong, the application is new, there IS bugs and it ain't perfect. If you're not an idiot you're 100% better off going with those alternatives up there ESPECIALLY since those will be massively more customizable and better at it's job with less bugs and a bigger community. But if you're sketched, or an idiot as I am both. Well maybe seedcross will work for you.
