Why not distribute the packages as torrent?
This is not official but I think there are multiple issues
- most users donāt have a torrent client, it would be complicated for them
- apt does not support it (maybe there is some hack), here is a site listing the issues it would have https://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent
- the updater would also need support and there would likely be cases where torrents are blocked.
Links at https://www.seafile.com/en/download/ mostly already link to a new Server and do still work as they should. Mostly Debian is affected and the archive to download older versions.
Do you have a link for the .deb files? So I can install them using dpkg.
Unfortunately these are the only ones I donāt have.
But you can likely install those of Ubuntu https://code.launchpad.net/~seafile/+archive/ubuntu/seafile-client as a workaround.
Is there anything in place to allow us CE users to donate a mirror as a āthank youā?
I have several enterprise level virtual machines that have a lot of unused network transfer per month. I would be happy to set up a mirror and donate 1 or 2 TB.
Just let me know.
Bintray marked Seafile as out-of-quota. But we there are very few downloads from bintray since we migrated most of the downloads to another place.
Hi! Created an account to comment on this. Iām in the process of migrating from owncloud and like what I see so far.
Where is this new download location? Iām looking for Debian installation packages and I keep running into the directions that point toward bintray. As Iām on an older version of Debian Iām not comfortable using Ubuntu packages, and Iām trying to install the cli client so I can migrate files from my old server into a library, currently this is a blocking issue unless I want to download a couple hundred GB just to upload them into libraries.
I second the torrent option, Iād throw files into rtorrent and let them auto seed. The previous comment about most users not having a torrent client, I might disagree, most linux server admins probably have experience with torrents, I used to download and seed Ubuntu ISOs, Iād be glad to do the same for this.
This cannot be true. Out of quota means 1 TB of downloads. It looks like the number of users using the Debian repository significantly increased or some other reason but 1 TB traffic is not just a bit.
You should find a solution for the Debian apt repo.

Regardless of the number of downloads, or if this āshouldā happen or not, it is a matter of fact that it is happening. I can verify that all Debian packages on Bintray have forbidden access. Whether this is the 1st or the 31st of the month, the official guides and documentation list bintray as the official source for installation, and as of this moment it does not work. Iām exploring workarounds, but it is rather inconvenient and discomforting to see the official sources unavailable.

From the Admin console of Bintray, we can only see a few records of downloads this month.
We have been using a Hetzner machine for a few months. The debian repository can be moved to this machine too. This will take a few days for us to change the set up the repository and changing the building workflow.

Great, thanks.
Do any kind soul have a ubuntu .deb of the seadrive-daemon, or know where I can fetch it during the outage?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
This worked:
echo deb http://deb.seadrive.org xenial main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list
I found that page earlier, but did only test the PPA for ubuntu, which do not contain the seadrive-daemon.
Unfortunaltly, if I could install seadrive some days ago from seadrive.org, today an update say :
E: Failed to fetch http://deb.seadrive.org/dists/xenial/Release Unable to find expected entry āmain/binary-i386/Packagesā in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
A test on http://deb.seadrive.org/dists/xenial/ say āForbiddenā, as well as older http://dl.bintray.com/seafile-org/deb/dists/xenial/Release 
Well. I come back to this PPA and it works again with it.
Thatās expectd because directory listing is disabled explicitly on that server[quote=āfgth, post:55, topic:3276ā]

It may be some caching issue, weāll look into it.
Maybe you should update the docs youāre linking to from the main page for seaf-cli: https://www.seafile.com/en/help/drive_client_linux/
It still links to bintray
