How do I migrate to a seedbox?

Sign up for a Bytesized plan, install your apps (Plex, Sonarr, Radarr) with one click each, and optionally transfer existing files via SFTP or rclone. Re-add your TV shows and movies to Sonarr/Radarr and they start monitoring immediately. The whole process takes minutes for apps and depends on your library size for file transfers.

Can I transfer files from another seedbox?

Yes. Use SFTP or rclone to transfer files between your old seedbox and Bytesized. Since both servers are on fast data center connections, transfers are much faster than going through your home connection. All Bytesized plans include SSH access for rclone configuration.

Migration Paths

From a Home PC

Stop running your torrent client and Plex 24/7 on your computer. Move to a seedbox that runs around the clock on a 10 Gbit connection. Upload your existing media via SFTP or rclone.

From a NAS

Your Synology or QNAP's upload speed limits remote streaming quality. A seedbox gives remote viewers 10 Gbit and GPU transcoding. Keep your NAS for local storage, use Bytesized for streaming.

From Another Seedbox

Switching providers? Transfer files via SFTP between servers. Reinstall your apps with one click on Bytesized — Sonarr, Radarr, and Plex are ready in seconds.

From a VPS

Tired of maintaining Docker, nginx, and SSL certificates? Move to a managed platform. Same apps, zero maintenance. The Bytesized Panel replaces your terminal.

Starting Fresh

No existing setup? Even better. Sign up, install your apps, and start building your media library from scratch. Streaming in under 2 minutes.

Bulk Transfer with Rclone

Moving terabytes? Use rclone to sync files between your old setup and Bytesized. Transfer at data center speed, not your home upload speed.

How to Migrate

Sign up for Bytesized

Choose an AppBox or GPU AppBox plan. Your server is provisioned instantly.

Install your apps

One click each: torrent client, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex. Re-add your TV shows and movies to Sonarr and Radarr — they'll start monitoring immediately.

Transfer your files (optional)

Upload existing media via SFTP using FileZilla or WinSCP. For large transfers, use rclone between servers. Or just start fresh and let automation rebuild your library.

Update your trackers

If you use private trackers, add your new torrents to the Bytesized torrent client. Your ratio continues building on the 10 Gbit connection.
