Yeah, that’s what I thought. Dyno hours will be a challenge. What about using a second disposable heroku account and using it to seed(maybe only upto ratio 1.0)?
This is truly amazing. it worked. thanks. I was wondering if there was a way to zip all the downloaded files and download the zipped one. sometimes a torrent has multiple files and u want them all, so i just want to be able to put them all in a zip file and download that. thanks again
Hello guys. I wanna make a simple version of this method for those who are beginner (I’m a beginner too actually), hope you guys understand it. Make sure you have a Heroku account first, if you don’t, please see the original post.
*You can have more than one config, make sure you copy only a config, it looks like this: (it may be different with yours, the difference depends upon your configuration, if you have no idea about this kind of thing, just copy all the texts inside)
[CONFIG NAME]
type =
client_secret =
scope =
token =
team_drive =
other entries (if they exist) =
Fill the app name as you wish and set HEROKU_APP_NAME with the same name as the app name
You can change ARIA2C_SECRET as you wish, make sure you don’t forget this, because it acts like a password
Fill RCLONE_CONFIG with the copied config, then remove the “[CONFIG NAME]” so it will look like this:
type =
client_secret =
scope =
token =
team_drive =
other entries (if they exist) =
Set RCLONE_DESTINATION to a path you want to store your downloaded files.
Then deploy it!
After the process succeeds, you can visit it by pressing the open app in Heroku. You can also type the url : your app name[.]herokuapp[.]com ( without )
Enter the aria2 secret that you have filled (if you forgot it, you can see it, even change it, in the Heroku app setting)
That’s all guys, hope you like it
Sorry for my bad english, if there’s any grammatical error, please forgive me
" You said it will idle automatically, so I can’t download large files?
It will generate fake requests when there are downloading or uploading tasks, so it won’t idle when your files aren’t completed."
referring to this:
sometimes there are no seeds so it gets idle, is there any way i can keep it going? can i like put a torrent and limit the speed to 1kbs so that there is something always downloading and the server doesnt get idle?
You can download large files that is not more than 300GB and moreover why do you want to keep it alive?if you are going to keep abusing this heroku will ban your account and your app,just download what you want and let it rest and use this as you require or if you still want to keep it alive then pay for the dynos.
i dont know why but i cant PM you FlashyFlash,
here is what i have done and where i am stuck.
i have set up rclone on my windows laptop and i have found rclone config file.
followed all 7 step above and deployed, but i dont understand last step where you say " Find the drive you want to use, and copy its type = … to … token = … section/TD id (Incase of TD) and paste In rclone config tab of heroku" This is really confusing. Now where to put rclone config settings?? please help
the forum has been a little buggy lately.
Many times when i load the website its down.
I can’t seem to load messages lately so maybe that’s why u cannot reach me
By the way u to enter rclone config in heroku
