Thread: How to download Direct Download Links to seedbox?

Well, sure.. but this isn't a common request. Or at least I don't hear it very often - so you may need to do a bit of work to effect this.

Most of the methods that I can think of require shell or root access. If you have a basic seed box you will usually find that it is simply configured for rutorrent, which is intended to work with torrents. In that case you need to either find a third party rehoster site that will grab the DDL link and host it as a torrent.. effectively converting the DDL link to a torrent one. Or discuss the subject with your seed box vendor and see if they can accommodate you.

If you have shell or root access as you usually will on a dedicated server, then you have more options. These range from using wget to fetch a DDL link e.g.
$ wget --user=<username> --password=<password> http://link_to_DDL_download.rar

To installing a download manager program such as jdownloader. Remember that a server is also a computer and you can install a variety of software on it. You probably have some variety of *nix, rather than windows on it though - so you may need to look for linux, rather than windows applications.

There's also the FXP (File Exchange Protocol), which is used between two FTP servers if you have no access to SSH. search around the forums, one of the Administrator has posted a guide on this.

Oh wait, forget what I just said. I misunderstood your post.

simple: aria2c, curl, wget...

fancy: pyload (I've been pretty happy with this), slimrat, plowshare, fatrat, rsget...

Although jdownloader may have a headless switch sometime in the future, it won't be any time soon. If you have root access to your seedbox, you can run it sort of headless.

If they ever release cryptload 2.x, it might be interesting.
