How Ninjadebrid works

Paste a magnet or drop a .torrent: our servers leech it and give you a direct HTTPS link for every file.

Ninjadebrid turns torrents into direct downloads. Our servers join the swarm and download the torrent for you on a 10 Gbit/s network, then give you a plain HTTPS link for every file in it.

What happens when you add a torrent

  1. You paste a magnet link or drop a .torrent file, on the home page or in your Library.
  2. If anyone has fetched the same torrent before, it's already in our cache: your links are ready in a second.
  3. If not, our servers download it as fast as its peers allow. Follow the progress live, or close the page and come back later.
  4. When it's ready, every file has its own direct link: download it with your browser or a download manager, or play it in VLC, Infuse, Kodi or right in the page.

Why not just run a torrent client?

  • Your IP address never appears in the swarm: peers only see our servers.
  • No seeding: our servers stop sharing as soon as the download completes.
  • No ports to open, no client to keep running, no disk space used while it downloads.
  • Once a torrent is ready, your speed depends on your own connection, not on the peers.

What it doesn't do

Ninjadebrid handles torrents only: no file hosters and no Usenet. There's no Stremio or Kodi add-on and no public API, but direct links work in Kodi, VLC, Infuse and any download manager. There's no catalog and no search either: you bring your own torrents, and only ones you have the right to download (see the Terms).
