Seedr v2 vs v1: what changed

Seedr v2 is not a coat of paint over v1 - it is a rebuilt platform. We kept everything people loved about Seedr (add a link, get a file, no client to install) and rethought the parts that had not aged well. Here is the short version of what changed.

A redesigned file manager

The v1 file list worked, but it was built for small libraries. v2 introduces a proper file manager with folders, multi-select, drag-and-drop, search, and inline previews. Large libraries load progressively so the interface stays responsive whether you have ten files or ten thousand.

Faster fetching

The fetch pipeline was rewritten to grab from many peers in parallel and to start serving the moment the first pieces land. Most popular content is cached, so a file someone else has already fetched can appear in your account almost instantly.

Built-in streaming

In v1, streaming was limited and often meant downloading first. v2 ships a real streaming engine: press play on a video or audio file and it plays in the browser, with seeking, subtitles, and on-the-fly transcoding for formats your device cannot decode natively (MKV included).

WebDAV and integrations

Perhaps the biggest unlock: v2 exposes your storage over WebDAV. That means you can mount Seedr like a network drive, point Plex, Kodi, or Infuse at it, or connect file-sync tools - all without downloading anything to your own machine first.

What v1 users need to know

• Your account, files, and storage carry over - nothing is lost in the move to v2.

• Existing links and bookmarks keep working; the file manager simply looks and behaves differently.

• WebDAV credentials are generated per account in settings - you do not reuse your login password.

If you have been away since the v1 days, sign in and take a look. The thing you remember is still there - it is just a lot faster, and now it streams.
