About The Project

There are lot of times when you want to access the specific content of a torrent file but don't want to waste bandwidth on downloading the entire file, this can be solved by downloading the file on a remote server and then browsing through the files.

• With remote file browsing / download support
• Optimized for both web and mobile views, responsive layout
• Built using React and Flask ⚡

A mobile first UI design so that you can enjoy the content seamlessly, Inspired by trending designs on Dribble.
