GhostBox

GhostBox

Based on GhostYgg

This application will automatically download any torrent files placed in a designated watched directory, which can be specified via a command-line option or a Docker volume.

The torrent client is configured to avoid sending any information to the torrent tracker, ensuring that the download ratio remains unaffected.
