Seedbox and API Compliance Matrix

Seedbox and API compliance matrix

Note

This data is user-compiled from staff correspondence (see Staff proofs) and from Prowlarr's own source (see Prowlarr source references). Trackers change their rules without notice, so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee — reverify against the tracker's own rules/staff before relying on it. Values are marked ? when no reliable rule or documented limit was found.

This matrix lists private trackers and indexers compliance rules for seedbox use, including seedbox/IP announcements where relevant, and the API query/grab limits that should be respected in Prowlarr and other *arr tools.

Legend: ? = unknown or not found, - = not applicable.

Staff proofs

Excerpts from staff correspondence backing the "Seedbox/IP notice guidance" column above.

HDB

You need not inform us of this, but good luck with it.

PTP

Hi,

feel free to use it, it is no longer a requirement for members to provide this information. If you ever switch to a new one, please do so without notifying us.

BTN

From Wiki/KB : If you are using your seedbox only to seed/leech there is no need to notify staff.
Hey,

Thank you for being proactive and informing us, but you're actually not required to let us know about seedbox IPs if you're only planning to seed/leech through them. You're allowed to seed/leech torrents from up to 3 IPs at the same time, through any Seedbox, VPN or proxy you like.

If you do plan to use the seedbox as a VPN to browse the site, it must have a dedicated IP address that is unique to you and you'll need to re-open this PM to get permission before browsing through it.

Cheers

RED

Either way, you don't need to send off a Staff PM, etc.

OPS

i don't think it's asked for. I changed boxes a while ago and didn't say anything.

TL

Hi,

You can add the seedbox yourself. It's a relatively new option in your profile.

AR

Hi,

You are missing the part 1 :

1. An unedited (including address bar) screenshot of your Seedbox seeding any AlphaRatio torrent.

Your profile has been updated.

Thanks

GGn

Hey,

Our VPN Usage Rules only apply to browsing the site directly. They don't apply to bittorrent traffic. This means you can choose any privacy solution you prefer for your bittorrent traffic, including shared seedboxes and multiple seedboxes, without a need to inform us

MAM

Hello,

I have updated your account. Your Seedbox IP is now:

Please let us know if this is incorrect or if it isn't working properly.

Have a nice day!

TG

Ok thanks, got it.

TP

thank you for notifying us.

best regards.
