Torrent to direct download: turn any magnet link into a normal HTTPS download

Paste a magnet link or upload a .torrent file, and Torrent Looker fetches it on our servers. You then download the finished files straight from your browser, with no torrent client and no seeding.

What "torrent to direct download" means

A normal torrent download needs a client like uTorrent, qBittorrent or Transmission running on your computer. It connects to other people in the swarm, downloads pieces from them and uploads pieces back while it runs.

With a torrent to direct download service, a server does all of that for you. When it has the files, you download them from the server over plain HTTPS, the same way you would download a PDF or an installer from any website. That is why it is also called a torrent to direct link or magnet to direct download converter.

How to convert a torrent to a direct download

1. Copy the magnet link (it starts with magnet:?xt=urn:btih:), or save the .torrent file.
2. Open Torrent Looker. You can start right away without an account.
3. Paste the link into the box at the top, or drag the .torrent file onto the page, and press Fetch.
4. Watch the progress. You'll see the speed, number of peers and time left. You can close the tab; fetching carries on without you.
5. Press the download button next to any file to save it to your device, or download a whole folder as a zip.

Why use a direct download instead of a torrent client

Works where torrent clients don't

Many office, school and public Wi-Fi networks block torrent traffic. A direct download is ordinary HTTPS traffic to one website, so it works on those networks as long as the site itself is reachable.

Your IP stays out of the swarm

Everyone in a torrent swarm can see the IP address of every other peer. With Torrent Looker, our server is the peer. Your device only talks to torrentlooker.club.

No software, any device

There is nothing to install, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebooks, iPhone and Android. See the phone guide for mobile steps.

No upload, no seeding

A torrent client uploads while it downloads, which uses your bandwidth and data allowance. A direct download only downloads.

Resumable downloads

Downloads support HTTP range requests, so if your connection drops, your browser can usually pick up where it left off instead of starting over.

Watch it instead of downloading it

Don't need to keep the file? Open a video or music file in the built-in player and it plays in your browser. You can skip ahead, and subtitles included in the torrent load automatically. Read more about streaming torrents online.

Limits worth knowing

• Storage: 50 GB without an account, 100 GB with a free account. Delete files any time to make room.
• Speed: how fast a torrent is fetched depends on how many people are sharing it. Torrents with plenty of seeders are fastest; dead torrents with no seeders can't be fetched by anyone.
• Guest files: without an account, files are kept for 7 days after your last visit, on that browser only. Sign up (even later) to keep them and open them on any device.
