Is it possible to seed only with aria2?
I understand that it's an old question, but in case someone (like me) finds it -
The -V
options works just fine, but if you do not want to verify all files before seeding you can instead use --bt-seed-unverified
.
Official documentation.
For example, consider the following folder structure:
- torrents data
- .torrent files
To seed torrents you can use this command from directory with .torrent files: ls | aria2c --bt-seed-unverified --seed-ratio=0.0 -d "../" -i -
It looks like you can do this with the -V option, although it does not look to be very well documented. From this web page:
You can seed downloaded file using -V option. This will first check piece hashes for the downloaded file.
aria2c -V -d/path/to/dir file.torrent
I'd suggest also adding --seed-ratio=0.0
so that you'll seed the file forever:
aria2c -V --seed-ratio=0.0 -d/path/to/dir file.torrent
