Flood
Flood is a BitTorrent client manager and web user interface designed to control multiple torrent client instances from a centralized dashboard. It includes a REST API for automating download management and a streaming gateway that enables the immediate playback of torrent content.
The system supports multi-instance client control, allowing the administration of several separate torrent clients from one location. It features network torrent streaming, which forwards data directly to media players without requiring the full file to be written to disk.
The platform provides tools for tracker optimization, magnet link generation, and statistics aggregation. The user interface is responsive across different device viewports and supports localization for multiple languages.
Operational parameters and network paths can be configured via the command line during application startup.
