What gettor is, and what it is not
What gettor isWhat gettor is, and what it is not; How gettor works, end to end.
gettor fetches torrents on its servers and puts the finished files in your private library. You can download or play them from a browser without keeping your own device running.
What it is
- A remote downloader: add a magnet link or .torrent file and gettor's servers do the fetching.
- A private library: finished files belong to your account and are not public.
- A browser-based service: manage, download, and play supported files from the web app.
What it is not
gettor is not a search engine, index, or catalogue. You supply every magnet link or torrent file yourself.
gettor is not a public file host or CDN. Your library is private and has no public share links.
Note: Keep your own copy of anything important. Your gettor library is not a backup.
How gettor works, end to end
Add a link, gettor fetches it remotely, and the files appear in your library.
A transfer has three basic steps.
1. You add
Paste a magnet link or upload a .torrent file. gettor checks your plan limits and starts the transfer when capacity is available.
2. gettor fetches
gettor reads the torrent and fetches the content remotely. You can watch progress or close the tab and come back later.
3. You use
Finished files appear in your private library, where you can download them, download a folder as ZIP, or play supported media.
What your connection actually carries
Torrent traffic runs between gettor's servers and the swarm. Your connection is used only when you download or stream the finished files.
