Introduction

• This script lets you set up and use a temporary DigitalOcean droplet to download torrent files.
• Once downloaded, they can be streamed down to your local machine.
• This uses transmission-cli for the torrent client, and nginx to serve files.

Setup on Local Machine

• This assumes that you have a DigitalOcean account and tugboat set up, as well as seedbox-setup.sh present in the current directory.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
