Magnet Transfer

Magnet transfer downloads files from a magnet link and uploads them automatically to the cloud storage channel you choose.

It is useful for transferring anime episodes, videos, archives, and similar files. Paste a magnet link, and ImgBed creates a background download task. After the download finishes, the file is uploaded to ImgBed and the final link appears in the upload list.

Before First Use

Configure magnet transfer in the admin panel first.

You usually need:

  1. A GitHub account for running the download task.
  2. A cloud upload channel, such as Google Drive or OneDrive.
  3. The target upload directory.
  4. A task timeout.

After the settings are ready, return to the homepage and paste a magnet link to start transfer.

  1. Paste the magnet link into the homepage upload box.
  2. Make sure the mode is set to Transfer.
  3. Click upload.
  4. Wait for ImgBed to create the magnet task.
  5. After the task starts, use the Magnet Tasks floating panel in the bottom-right corner to check progress.

Download and upload can take time. Speed depends on the magnet resource, the GitHub runtime environment, and the selected cloud storage channel.

Tips

  • If a magnet link contains multiple files, ImgBed prioritizes the main completed file for display.
  • Large files take longer. Wait for the task to finish before refreshing the page.
  • If the magnet resource has no available peers, it may be very slow or fail.
  • If the cloud account is out of quota, authorization has expired, or the upload directory is wrong, the task may fail.
  • Video preview may take a few seconds after upload completes.

FAQ

Confirm magnet transfer is enabled in the admin panel and that a usable GitHub account and cloud channel have been selected.

Download Is Always Slow

Magnet speed depends on the resource itself. If there are no available peers, the download may be very slow or impossible.

No Preview Appears After Upload

First confirm the file link opens. Video files may need a short time to load in the browser, or you can open the link directly.

What Should I Check If a Task Fails?

Check whether the magnet link is valid, whether the cloud channel works, and whether the upload directory is correct. Then submit the task again.
