Probably the easiest method to download finished files is through the TorrentFlux GUI in a web browser, known as HTTP downloading.

TIP: In order for a complete download to be successful, you'll first have to wait for the torrent to finish downloading (and have thus turned into a seeding torrent).

Accessing Your Torrent Folders

This can be accomplished on the main TFlux screen where the torrents are listed, but it's also important to note that each TFlux user has a central directory on the server where ALL finished files are located. Whether you download directly from the main page (below) or go into your Directory menu - ideally, the paths are completely identical; the difference being is how you access it.

In the main TorrentFlux window, click on the yellow Data folder icon that corresponds with a torrent job. This will take you into the root directory for that particular torrent, where you can download the contents.

Below is an example of this particular torrent's directory and it's contents. In this example, there is a folder in the torrent called "Content", and three *.txt files:

Here's an explanation of the download functions...

1.) Back Parent Directory — Takes you 'up' one directory, in this case to the main Directory.

2.) Download as *.ZIP or *.TAR file — By default, folders can only be directly downloaded as an archived file (i.e. *.zip or *.tar), which can be opened (unzipped) on the home computer with 7Zip, a freeware archive utility. These type of downloads are represented by a brown download icon.

3.) Direct Download — Individual files can be directly downloaded (and saved) by clicking the green download arrow.

Your Download 'Directory'

While TorrentFlux allows you to download the finished files directly from their physical folders (from the main TFlux interface, as explained above), eventually you're going to have to explore the file structure of your seedbox. There really is no getting around this, since all completed files/folders from the torrents are saved locally in one directory (likely called "admin" if you're the owner of the seedbox). Fortunately, this resembles the same file structure & paths that can be found on any PC. Think of "admin" being the root of your C:/ drive, whereby "C:" also contains subdirectories (folders). It's important that you have a good working knowledge of this folder and how to manage it.

From your download 'Directory' you can permanently delete files & folders to free up space, as well as download (via HTTP) the completed files/folders back to your home PC. Other available features include: automatic unarchival (unrar & unzip), making torrents, VLC video streaming, moving & renaming files/folders, and viewing text files.

The only true way to know what is on your seedbox is to check the directory - files/folders may exist here that do not appear in the TorrentFlux transfers. To access your root Directory, either click the "Directory" link in the top menu, or click on "Directory List" above the torrent transfers:

You'll be taken to the /root of your seedbox - and as the seedbox admin (yes, you!) - likely named "admin". If you've created sub-accounts on the seedbox, there will be additional folders here which belong to each sub account.

Inside "admin" are your downloaded torrent folders.

Management: One of the most important reasons to familiarize yourself with your download directory is to know exactly what is saved on your seedbox. Torrents that were deleted from TFlux may still exist as files/folders in the seedbox storage, taking up valuable space. If you notice that new torrent jobs won't begin, or there's a message warning about drivespace resources becoming dangerously low, you'll need to clear up some space.

Uploading to your seedbox: If you want to upload your own files & folders in order to seed them with your seedbox (i.e. make your own torrent), you'll need to upload them through FTP. The uploaded files/folders will appear in your directory in TFlux.

Other Features in the Directory

Aside from having complete control to delete files & folders and to download what you choose, there are also a variety of other features, including:

• Delete — Use the red X button to permanently delete files & folders. Also supports multiple deletion - just place checkmarks in the boxes of files/folders you wish to delete, and click the single red X at the bottom of the window.
• Unrar / Unzip — Allows you to extract archive files directly to your seedbox directory. Note: The archived file will still exist, thus both the original file and the extracted ones will take up storage space.
• View Text files — .TXT files can be viewed directly in TFlux, including .LOG & .NFO files.
• Stream Multimedia — If supported/enabled, this can be used to view multimedia files (MP3s, video files) using VLC player.
• Make Torrent — By default, this uses Tornado to create a torrent from existing files/folders, or from content that you've uploaded via FTP.
• Move File/Folder — If supported, allows for moving of content to other directories. Seldomly used feature.
• Rename File/Folder — Does what it suggests, you can rename content here. Note that this doesn't change the name of the torrent on the main TFlux transfer page.
