### Routes
Here there is a list of all available routes with their torrents and some info. You can add and remove torrents from here too.
### Servers
Servers is a way to generate magnet files from folders.
All servers configured using the config yaml file will be here.
When some data is changed on these folders, a new magnet URI will be generated.
You can share that magnet URI with anyone to share these files.
