FAQ

What is a Dedicated Server? A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone.

What is a Seedbox? Is bittorrent terminology for a dedicated server that is used to upload and download torrents. Seedboxes are usually purchased by uploaders and torrent communities to get the latest content at high speeds.

How do I use the dedicated server/seedbox? A Dedicated Server/Seedbox is very simple to use, once you have purchased and fully paid for the dedicated server/seedbox, the service provider will send you the following:

The Server IP Address
The Server Username
The Server Password


Using these things you can log on to your server using remote desktop.
You can download RDP at: Download Here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx)
(Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a multi-channel protocol that allows a user to connect to a computer running Microsoft Terminal Services.) You can access remote desktop on your Windows PC by going to:


On your home computer, click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Accessories.
In the Accessories menu, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.


Then type the IP Address for the Server provided by the Hosting company, click connect and you will be taken to a log in screen, similar to the OS the server is running. Log in and that is it, you now have access to your server.



Hosting Companies

Dediboxes

What is a dedibox? A dedibox(s) are dedicated server that are hosted by Dedibox.fr. Dediboxes are dedicated servers that you have root access to but the network on which it is connected is shared. Dediboxes are connected to a supposed 300Gbit network, but due to the many subscribers, dediboxes which are advertised as 100Mbit Unmetered will only guarantee you 30Mbit Unmetered. The only time users report reaching 100Mbit Speeds is while connection to another user on the dedibox network.

Note: For all Dediboxes, fee apply if you want to run a Windows OS, they only provide linux OS free.

Also note that these Dediboxes are not that strict about running torrents, but if they catch you due to excessive use or abuse of bandwidth they will close your dedibox without refund.

Dediboxes also have random checks and police raids.

Ive Had Dediboxinternationa, Bestofdata, and Dedihostplus, if you enable encryption and keep the bw below 3TB a month it gives you a better chance under to keep under the radar.


DEDICATED SERVERS/SEEDBOXES

The Following are my Top 5 Choices for Best Dedicated Servers.

Number 5: V E C T O R A L (https://www.vectoral.info/)

I personally havent used this company, but i have heard nothing but great things from them. They too offer cheap, reliable servers at competitive prices.

Dedicated Servers (https://www.vectoral.info/servers/servers.php)

Server: 4.5/5
Network: 3.5/5

NUMBER 4:M O X I E H O S T I N G (http://moxiehosting.com)

Moxiehosting understands that customers are unique and therefore they provide true flexibility in a wide range of server options and upgrades with realistic pricing. The Network is never oversold ensuring everyone has the bandwidth when they need it. They offer unmetered bandwidth as well.

Dedicated Servers (http://www.moxiehosting.com/services/ded/)


Server: 4.5/5
Network: 4.5/5



Number 3: L A Y E R E D T E C H (http://layeredtech.com/)

Hmm, layered tech one of the best server that i have ever used, i dont think there was a time i didnt max out my speed, with their 100Mbit i could easily reach 11-12 mb/s. They have a great turn around time, i got my server in less than 5, 6 hours.

Dedicated Servers (http://www.layeredtech.com/servers.shtml)


Server: 4.5/5
Network: 5/5


Number 2: S O F T L A Y E R (http://www.softlayer.com/)

This is probably one of the best server that i have ever used, Softlayer is the best of the best, nothing more to say, maxed out connections 24/7. Note Softlayer is the most expensive server ive purchased only because i upgraded to a higher bandwidth and network speed. You have got to purchase one to know how amazing their server and network is, the speeds are phenomenal and the service is phenomenal. This is why ScT, FTN, FSC, all Top site uploaders and torrent sites purchase SoftLayer, because your getting what you paid for.

Server: 5/5
Network: 5/5

Number 1: L E A S E W E B (http://www.leaseweb.com/index.php)

This is the best hosting company, why else would torrent sites such as TL and SCC host there. They provide excellent support and excellent dedicated Server service. They have top-notch servers with one of the best network, you will get great speeds no matter what.

Dedicated Servers (http://www.leaseweb.com/index.php?p=dedicated)

Server 5/5
Network 5/5

wow, excellent post man, I have been thinking about getting one, so this is some usefull stuff indeed.
One question, it seemed that all of them (atleast the cheaper ones) has metered bandwith.
http://english.keyweb.de/dedicated/index.shtml this one have unmetered and is cheaper than most of those, but I guess there is a reason for that. I would like unmetered, you think that one is ok? why/why not. maby other places offer unmetered?

anyways, two thumps up for this post :)

hmmm, dont like that... do you know of any other services with unmetered bandwith?

007™
01-29-2007, 03:16 AM
alot of them dedibox and resellers are the cheapest unmetered.

and it also depends on what you want, alot of hosts provide 10Mbit Unmetered for around $150USD/month, 100Mbit Unmetered costs upwards of $1000/month for a truly unmetered.

i hv a query......i intend on seeding a lot of torrents at the same time ......should i go for a celeron 2.0GHz or P4 2.8GHz as there is a price difference between them..... would i hv any probs with the celeron??

Panther
01-29-2007, 03:25 AM
I want as much data uploaded as possible over the peroid of 1, maby 2 months and pay not more that I have too... and one thing, what specs does the server itself have to have to handle hardcore seeding, wouldnt the cheapest one normally be enough?

edit: well blacklisted asked a similar question aboput how good it has too be... oh well, always a little late... :)

when on a dedibox which is celeron and im seeding like 5+ torrent at maybe 3 mb/s + it really slows down, and i hope you dont plan to rar and upload :P , id say go with the P4 if you plan on doing 5+ torrents at a time or rarring.

hmm if you want to do ask much as you can obviously dedibox, but if they catch you with torrents they wont do refunds if you do upload/download combined 500-700GB a week they might not catch you. But if you wanna do like 1Tb + a week, they would have disabled you in the first week.

I don't have much experience in the seedbox area, but my friend found this site:
http://www.leeware.com/product.html

AMD 64 Athlon 3400+ Equal Share, RAM 384MB, HDD 20GB, 100Mbps Unmetered
Only $15.00 / month.

Too good to be true? Or am I missing something? :lol:

I suggest 2GB Ram , try to keep to 2 ppl, after that it gets very slow, depending on which server you choose.

Yes go with something other than Dediboxes, i suggest Leaseweb, Vector.info or Shinjiru if you dont want to spend too much.

agree with game4eva stay away from dedibox server, they not save and they check your server to see which materails you got.

If you want qaulity then go with soflayer

I have two server now . A ubuntu-Based server which I rent from DediBox-International and Windows 2003 STD-Based server which I rent from Vectoral.info

You can see many users in SCT have Vectoral . They are GREAT !
I dn't have any Problem with them .
But unfortunately I have many problem with DediBox-International . my server was turned-Off many times in a day and they don't answer questions correctly . The main problem is "Bad Support" even in Live Chatroom otherwise they never told me about Torrenting .

Absolutely Not ! without a doubt , Leasweb is Great . But datatraffic in a server with 360 Euros price must be between 7-9 Terabyte Per month .

in Theory 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps = 120 (125) MBps and It mean 120 Megabytes *3600 Seconds = near 440 Gigabyte Per Hour . :whistling
And you know , in only 1 Day , you can spend all of your month dataTraffic . I mean , near 10 Terabytes in only 1 Day . So , Be Very very Careful if you want to buy a GigaBit Server .:lol:

And many of seedbox users like me , bought a seedbox to grow their ratios in Private Trackers .

I'm norwegian, but i understand swedish. Alt1 and Alt1-Premium from Bahnhof are capped at 160GB/month, and i would say 95€/month for 160Gb is VERY expensive.

I have a dedibox from Times Network (http://www.timesnw.com)
Pay about 99$/month (89$ if you pay sign-on fee) for 2,4GHz P4, 1Gb ram, 2 x 80Gb and 3TB BW. Its a 100mbit port on what i belive is a 100mbit share connection.
I have had the server for only 2-3 weeks, and haven't had the time to test it properly. Best upload speed i've had while seeding is about 2,5-3mb/s, best download speed 5mb/s. Ping everage from norway (Telenor ISP) is 50-60ms, servers are located in Germany. Excellent service, quick respons on mail and they are also available on MSN/ICQ
From what i have heard/read they are resellers of NETDIRECT (http://www.netdirect.de)

I can't really understand this seedbox thing. Why do anyone want to pay for a dedicated server to upload torrents? Why not just get a better connection at home?

That is a lot of times impossible for most people. If you can easily get an upstream of 10mbits at your house, consider yourself lucky.

I used a shared server and managed to hit 1MB/s max which really sux. Which is why i assume shared servers never reach full speeds or even a fifth of the speed!!!

I don't really have a choise since my internet connection is included in the rent and we only got one isp to choose from (100mbit). So am I'm lucky or not? :P

Hi.

Im interested i getting a seedbox to help me with my ratio on a couple of sites. I dont have a bad ratio, but it would be nice with a buffer.

My problem is I have never done this before, so Im thinking I should start of easy. It would be great if I could upload about 1tb +/-. As far as the connection goes I think somewhere around 10mbit would work.
HD space is not so important. I think I can manage with 60-80gb.

Also, Id like it to be as cheap as possible...

Any suggestions?

Boots ur ratio and trade it with upscale accout? LOL

Just seed as much as u can even ur speed is low!

or Just get a usenet acc ($13/month) forget about ratio torrent websites.
only $13 per month will maxed out ur connection 24/7/365

For linux , many users , use TorrentFlux or rTorrent .

For Windows , due to Remote Desktop , I easily install uTorrent (For Torrents) + emule (for P2P) + Rapget ( for Rapidshare) and finally a Xampp (For filezilla (a free ftp Server/Client) and PhP managing) . Then I use their WebUI and so , I don't need to use remote desktop every time ;)

ok, so i got torrentflux to run on my leeware VPS, download speed is about
2300-3000kb/s
upload speed isn't great as far as i can see...
about 100-200kb/s so far

but considering it's only 15$ for unmetered and he doesn't mind torrentflux (had a chat with him), it's decent, but when i get some $$$ i'll go with a dedicated server...

ya, now it's better, seeding at 1200kb/s... its just not stable thats all, but great for it's price, the speed depends on how much of the 100mbits the other server users are using... sometimes its fast, other times slow... great return for price, recommend for anyone who doesn't have money for a dedicated box... it took sometime to setup, i had to use ssh to setup LAMP, but once i got the hang of it, torrentflux worked smooth... still better then the lame 512KBIT upload connection i have at home ;-)

it depends. you can only dl stuff from the seedbox to your home PC as fast as your ISP allows you. so, for example, if you have a MAX download speed of 3Mbit at home, you won't download at 1MB/s from the seedbox (but only around 300-330kB/s).

i had a leeware seedbox, it's ok but don't expect super speeds, download was about 1-3mb/s and upload was about 1-2mb/s max, and if you get the 15$ deal you can't run more then 3-4 torrents or the system goes dead slow (pages barley load, i had to reset my server many times), if you have a bit more money go with a package with more ram and CPU or go with a dedicated server...

Thanks for the thread 007. Was very informative! I'm still not sure what a seedbox does? Are they basically the boxes that will receive the torrent first and subsequently start seeding first? It seems the whole point of this is to get on a network with kick ass bandwidth. Is there something I'm missing? Perhaps they are also registered within the trackers to provide them with content right away through an RSS feed or something?

Sorry for the newb questions/comments.

basically what you said is right, most of the time these boxes are used by initial seeders for private or public torrent sites, but also sometimes to kick up ratios on private torrent sites, basically anyone who has low bandwidth can use this... if they can afford it

seedbox - dedicated server - it's a computer somewhere on a data center, which has very good internet connection and you are using it like it's yours, just not at home. you connect to it remotly and doing whatever you want, f.e. using it for dl'ing and up'ing torrent stuff at very good speed, like 100mbps or even 1gbps (depends how much money you have to spend). when you have files on that seedbox you can download them to your home PC, ofcourse at lower speed, it depends what connection you have at home...

VPS is a dedicated server which is SHARED by x amount of users. with a dedi server, it only has YOU as its user. whereas with a VPS, there are other users using the same server.

in addition, everything is shared among all those users - HDD, bandwidth, etc. i wouldn't go for a VPS because for as cheap as $40, you can get yourself a cheap dedi running Linux (Windows OS always cost extra $$$)...

between $25(haha, yeh right) and $50 would be excellent.

does your VPS have X support or a vnc server access ? If so, you can run utorrent by wine. I used to do so in my box.

between $25(haha, yeh right) and $50 would be excellent.

the cheapest you can go + REAL, QUALITY 100Mbit line (unlike DediBox, for example) is:


here you go - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=586121&highlight=leaseweb

EverCase ECR9130
AMD Sempron 3100+
512 MB DDR Memory
1 x 160 GB SATA HD

2000GB Volume datatraffic
IP (2)
APC Remote Reboot (1 port)
Debian 3.1 or CentOS 4.4

Euro 49,00 / month
No setup fee

currently doing 5mb/s+ on ScT... not bad...



EDIT: i added $15/mo for Windows...


share it with somebody else and split the cost, bandwidth, HDD, etc. in half...

yeh, i would do that, but the main thing i host is big files that usually have alot of leechers and not many seeders, so i'd like to be able to keep it up longer than a day.

and i just like utorrent better than torrentflux, i'm just more used to it and it has the RSS option.

thanks for the help much appreciated

1) remote desktop is for connecting to windows remotely.... for linux u can use putty which is a ssh client for windows ......

2) utorrent is mainly for windows but u can use it on linux with the help of wine....
3)linux is much much more stable than windows
and last of all it takes sometime to get used to linux and once u get used to it ....there is no going back to windows as in my case

hello just looking for good server

Tusker
03-05-2007, 04:11 AM
Just popping in to say thanks to the threadsarter! The info has been invaluable and I checked this thread over and over. I finally got my box setup and working properly after spending quite a bit of time looking into it and picking a host company for a dedicated server. After using my home connection for torrents the dedicated box speed pretty much made eyes pop out! I did follow the advice about spending a bit extra for Windows server. I'm using that plus uTorrent and it's working like magic :-)
Only problem now is that I'm getting impatient with the speed of downloading from the server to my home pc through FTP...;-) It's still fast but not after watching the torrents scream up and down on the seedbox....
I eded up with a "cheapish" server. P4, 1GB ram, 3TB bandwidth per month on a 100Mbps connection. The only thing I don't like is the small (80GB) HDD.
As tempting as some of the "umetered" deals were, it's a matter of them being a little too good to be true. My advice...Read the small print! Some of them explicitly say that they will restrict you if you use too much even if they sell you on "unmetered". At least with a monthly bandwidth type of deal, you know exactly what you will get and what it will cost you if you go over the limit. Your connection will also be very good and not as random seeming as the unmetered connections.

I'm giving bestofdata.com (reseller for dedibox) a shot right now and hope that it goes smoothly. I have heard that they will cancel service if you are over 25mbps 24/7, so I'll be watching that closely.

I gave valueserver.de a shot and was not very impressed. Their technical support was awful and, to make matters worse, I was never provided a password for mysqladmin that would have allowed me to add databases. As such, I could not install torrentflux.

By the way, I think some people need to make the distinction between "mbps" and "MBps". These are two very different things ;)

Tusker
03-05-2007, 04:37 AM
Yes, a difference of 8X. "b"=bit, "B"=byte. The unmetered packages will not, well I suppose one can't say never, give you the spped that you think you are going to get and if you do start to use up too much of the shared line, they'll put the brakes on you. If a deal says 10mbps unmetered, it sounds good and a 100 sounds even better. Better than a home connection but you'll probably never see that speed and if you do happen to get on an "undersold" connection and get good speed, you won't have it for long.
:huh:

:huh:

I certainly am not foolish enough to think I can easily achieve 100mbps for $50 a month. :P

I get throttled quite heavily by my current ISP if I exceed 70GB of traffic in a 30 day period. A cheap seedbox is a great way for me to maintain good ratio on the many trackers I visit while still allowing normal home usage. Speed is not as much of a concern as traffic is.

They're cheaper than DediBox (excluding the one-time setup fee) but if I can get anywhere from 1-3MB/s I'd be happy with it. That, and good routing to the US ('cos with DediBox, I get around 10-15kB/s FTP'ing to and from).

any suggestions?

ojm
03-09-2007, 11:56 PM
Try changing FTPd's, Serv-U is terrible for speed. Try RaidenFTPD, or if you are cluey, ioFTPD (harder to setup). Also don't use a normal port... use a random one, they usually work better.

Also, when I am seeding extremely fast on my seedbox, FTP downloads are pathetic, like 10-20KB/s, but when I pause the seeding I get my full speed.

pierow
03-10-2007, 12:13 AM
If you got a foreign seedbox speeds generally are slower to the US. Try using filezilla which gives you multi connections and downloads. On my seedbox I usually download max at 100KB on a single file, so I download 5 at a time and get 100KB on each, for a total of 500KB, just a suggestion.

joyntkid
03-10-2007, 12:15 AM
all i need/want is 100-150kb/s, thats all i get on my home line anyway.
i'll try another server.

also, i read somewhere to open the port.
is that opening the port on the server or on the computer im d/ling to?


ok, i d/ling and got filezilla working, but i'm still only getting like 13kB/s up even with nothing else using the servers bandwidth.

anything else i can do?

horrible experience with hosting-ie.com. They told me it takes 10 business days for them to set up a dedicated server. I told them that paying 80/euro set up fee I should be getting one within 24/48 hrs. I requested a refund and they refused even though I never received my server and they offer 30 day money back guarantee on their website. Going with vectoral hopefully they give a better experience. for 5 bux a month more you get an extra 500GB transfer going from spyro to renacu atm.

i thought about that. but look it at like this.
i got a server for $80 and within the first week i had already uploaded 600GB and downloaded about 100GB or more.
this gives me a great ratio on the site to d/l more stuff and not worry about bad ratio.

for me, i do it because my upload speed at home is pathetic (25kB/s) and i needed some upload stats. i uploaded 300GB to one site on 2 torrents in under 3 days. that would have been 6GB on my home line at full speed.

for $80 i could a few cds, maybe 4 dvds, 2 games.
that gave me about a 800GB buffer for downloading in a week.
thats 200 dvdr's.

just my 2 cents. :-D

:angry: that explains why i'm transfering stuff (15Gig) home at a steady 128kB/s all afternoon, you bandwidth hog :P

the highest upload speed that i've seen 890kB/s and down 1800kB/s though its possible its been higher, and for $25 its not so bad.

the only thing i would say is if anyone has never used linux, like me, i would either stick with a windows box or be prepared for a steepish learning curve :)

Use a program called Internet Download Accelerator. Like any download accelerator it downloads using multiple threads, but it also is capable of doing this for FTP transfers also. I've been using it for a while to transfer from seedboxs that I only get around 200k/s from with a single download. Using it I am able to max out my connection at 1.2mb/s

I've had Leaseweb for the past 4 months and performance has been stellar. Full 100mbps anytime I want it and plenty of routes so there is never a bottleneck to a certain region or country. Leaseweb is awesome but make sure you know what you're doing with your server. Their customer service is horrible and if you fuck up your box then you have to wait 2-3 days for them to respond and then pay about 50 EUR per half-hour for them to fix it. The good thing is, you get an APC remote reboot port so if your server crashes you just log in and power cycle instead of having to open a support ticket.

leaseweb has some really good deals. you need to check their site every day.
in November i got a 1.6GHz Xeon, 73GB SCSI HDD, 512MB RAM, 500GB transfer for 39 EUR.
this month I got an Athlon 64 3000+, 160GB SATA HDD, 512MB RAM, 1000GB transfer for 39 EUR.

Could someone please help me.

I have set up torrentflux on leeware but I cannot download from trackers which have the announce url on a port other than 80.

Trackers include: TorrentLeech, Oink, x264.

Instead when I try to download or upload from one of the mentioned trackers, the torrent stalls on "Connecting to Peers."

Can someone please tell me the solution to this.

Thanks in advanced.

:D

these three trackers need the torrent to be downloaded from the same IP you are downloading them from. i.e you cannot download the torrent from lets say your home internet in UK and upload to a Leeware server in USA.

im pretty sure thats not true.
i've used my leeware server for oink before, and i'm pretty sure i've used it for TL.

yeah leeware works fine for oink and tl, though for other trackers that use the
ip based system, rather than a passkey this is very useful.

you install this on your leeware box, and use it as a proxy server. also useful for those who like dupe accounts :lol:

tried fdc servers and their unmetered service suck. I cant get anything over 1.5mb/sec up and its advertised at 100mb duplex.
