What is gazelle-sblink?
gazelle-sblink is a Chrome extension that allows you to conveniently download files from a number of private trackers to your seedbox. It works by adding a link to the DL/RP/etc section for torrents called SB that triggers a remote procedure call on a Transmission server to initiate the download. It supports what.cd, passthepopcorn, and animebyt.es, and can be easily configured for other Gazelle trackers with small modifications. The extension does not store passwords and offers a seamless user experience.
