r/seedboxes invasion

After the last few days of relative stablity, I posted an introduction to the r/seedboxes subreddit, inviting more testers and feedback.

Here's the impact of this, in graph form

And here's a brief summary of the bugs squashed and improvements made...

Introducing RDT Client

Today we added RDT Client, a web interface to manage your torrents on Real-Debrid, AllDebrid or Premiumize.

It supports the following features:

• Add new torrents through magnets or files
• Download all files from Real-Debrid, AllDebrid or Premiumize to your local machine automatically
• Unpack all files when finished downloading
• Implements a fake qBittorrent API so you can hook up other applications like Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, etc

The fake qBittorrent API is the killer feature - it means you can hook your Premiumize (etc) subscription to the Arrs, and auto-source and download directly as if you were using qBittorrent locally.

See more on the app page, or perform a 24h trial / subscription at the store!

ElfHosted Business model

Shortly after receiving our first actual payment for services, Stripe got in touch and asked me to clarify how the business works, to ensure we're supportable under their Restricted Businesses list

I responded as below, and thought that this would be useful to blog, since it succintly summarizes my thoughts about how ElfHosted operates.
