First setup

Connect a client and start your first download

The portal coordinates jobs; the client performs the download on your device.

1. Create and verify your account

Register with an email address and verify it using the link sent by autofetch. Select English before registering if you want account emails in English.

2. Download the right client

Choose the build for Windows, macOS, Linux or Raspberry Pi. A desktop GUI is convenient for initial testing; headless builds suit servers and NAS-adjacent systems.
