1 Gbit/s servers.

[andy1uk]

are there actually any good ones out there? :whistling

Getting true 1Gbit/s upload speeds would require SSD's in raid i'd of thought...which would cost a bomb

am looking for something up to around $200 max, 500GB-1TB+ diskspace, unlimited bandwidth - no caps...am guessing the speed should potentially be around 35Mb/s on 7,200RPM drives in raid...

[slacker]

True Gbit requires as you say SSD in raid. But HW raid.
This is from a friend's server with two SSDs in raid0 hardware: http://i47.tinypic.com/2iik0ia.png
With software raid he got half that speed!

Not sure what's the max speed you can reach with normal 7200rpm disks.

Dedicatedpros.com offers mid and high end servers, I was checking them out for a seedbox before.

1 Gbit/s SSD for €170.95

http://www.dedicatedpros.com/products_midgrade.php

Though now I'm seeing a 15/40 TB upload cap on their plans mid/high. Haven't seen any dedicated 1 Gbit/s servers with absolute unlimited upload, and I suspect ones that claim they are unlimited will enforce a cap after some massive uploads. Let me know what else you find I'd be interested.

[waeldiab]

But still limited bandwidth,Upload Bandwidth 15TB/mo

anyone used them?

[Six66Mike]

I don't think you'll find any SSD with 500GB or more disk space, and certainly not unlimited 1Gbit for $200.

[andy1uk]

I don't think you'll find any SSD with 500GB or more disk space, and certainly not unlimited 1Gbit for $200.no shit, thats why i said i want 7,200 drives...i'd only be able to get ssd if its around 80gig

[OlegL]

SSD means a solid state drive?

[phauk]

dedicatedpros (http://www.dedicatedpros.com/products_midgrade.php) is just a OVH RESELLER like rapidspeeds (http://www.rapidspeeds.com/midgrade-unlimited-dedicated-100mbit.html) or mydedis (http://mydedis.com/servers.html) etc etc..

there is quite a few of them tbh :)

[xuxoxux]

Yup. That is correct.

I got an infraction y/day for asking for a review about them :cry: think the guy thought I worked for them... lol.. if only :blink:

[andy1uk]

http://rapidpeer.com/packages-prices/

Never seen a 1Gbit connection with unlimited traffic for anywhere near 49 Euros a month, but I could be wrong. Granted its only a 160GB total hdd space, but their higher tier plans offer a lot more hdd space and not much increase in price.

*Update: google around a bit for hosting-ie.com, they seem to have a pretty bad customer service rep. I'd stay away unless you wanna take a chance.

[andy1uk]

i was against using www.ovh.co.uk for some reason, but i went for an "EG-09 SSD", and damn...why was i ever against it lol, the minimum ive uploaded in an hour so far is 28gig...thats pretty sweet going

http://i45.tinypic.com/eambmc.jpg

thats like...the average speed, not seen it drop below 9MB/s yet...thats 2 and half hours worth since i updated transmission

[Tv Controls you]

I just got the 1 gb line for ultraseeds and its trash. They are real con artists there.

They have a 2 day return policy on the seedboxs. So I was like ok why not give it a try and if it bad ask for return. It seemed like a good deal.

First 2 days = Great speeds 50mb down and around 30mb up peak. Crazy speeds was so happy with my purchase.

Third day = Can not seed over anywhere near 1 m/b up. And the down rate is so jumpy and unpredictable.

So I got screwed..... But There is always next month.

+1 and they look like resellers of Keyweb.de..That server above being the KM 6100 @ 39 euros...I don't see a 1gbs port listed for any of their servers though, so it'd definitely be a question I'd ask. Also, they don't mention anything about which RAID type the hard disks are on..software RAID 0 would be the best to utilize the hard disks as 160 gb..

Although, Keyweb's higher end servers, the 9100 and 9800 both seem like competition for OVH's EG series, if you could get them on a 1gbs connection.

[L33cH]

YEP hosting-ie are keyweb reseller and keyweb DFLAD unlimit traffic is 3-5tb 100%

[HDlover]

I got a general question - what the best speed i can get on a gigabit seedbox with a "regular" SATA 7200rpm HD?

[L33cH]

i have screenshot of my box i got there 95mb per sec raid0 3tb box

[PerMaFrOsT]

i have screenshot of my box i got there 95mb per sec raid0 3tb box

With a hosting-ie box? :happy:

[L33cH]

no keyweb ;) +raid card +upgrade to gbit port

[HDlover]

nice..

still - what's the best speed i can get on a gigabit seedbox with a "regular" SATA 7200rpm HD?

[Fibre]

Single thread 80MB/s or so.

[phauk]

i have screenshot of my box i got there 95mb per sec raid0 3tb box

yeah right :smoke:

soft or hard raid?

[PerMaFrOsT]

I think it must be hard raid :whistling

Depends on the hard drive. The issue with bit torrent is torrents are like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Hard drives are much faster when they are reading or writing one file at a time. When seeding or downloading from 100 different peers then it is like read/write 100 different files at a time. All of a sudden buffer matters A LOT and seek times on the hdd matter a good amount too.


My recommendation is to avoid SSD. I also recommend you try for a four hdd raid 0 setup or find a setup that uses hdds in the cloud. Either way, a 2 hdd raid setup will work fine for gigabit but if you want to seed at 124MB/s AND download at 124MB/s at the same time (duplex) then a 4 hdd raid setup starting will be required.

Also, software vs hardware raid matters vary little. Software raid uses the cpu to transfer the data from the hard drive out to the internet while hardware raid does not use the cpu for such tasks. This is why hardware raid is always better. It also has extra buffering which is often a must. Regardless, software raid will work too.


And finally, setting up your torrent client properly can help a lot. Change the average buffer from 32KB to 128MB can help a lot, for example.

You mean, your recommendation is to set up a raid with SATA HDs?

Actually I'm not interested in that, I mean having such crazy speeds all the time... It would cost me lots of $$$.. I was simply wondering how a simple setup would work with gigabit connection.
Using a single SATA 7200rpm HD , what are the best settings on utorrent for buffering etc... for getting the max out of it?

[DanielleD87]

Oh, I see. You can then do what a lot of topsites do which is use the ramdisk park of linux/bsd in usually /tmp or /temp and have your downloads transfer to there before hitting the hdd. If you have the ram for it this will smooth out hard drive writes by A LOT usually giving a 2 to 6x increase depending on the hdd setup. Since the writes are not segmented as much the reads will be as well which can speed up seeding a little bit too... but usually not.

[rls]

you cant get 1gbit unmetered dedicated just for $200. At least $800

[LadyGaga]

hmm i need a new seedbox need to find new ovh reseller

[OlegL]

Netdirekt offers a gigabit connection for its Intel i7 dedicated server that would cost you 1499 euros/month (a gigabit port alone). But my question is if it's really possible for SATA II drives that come with this server to really download at the speed of 125 MB/sec. What do you say?

[Rilly]

rapidspeeds (as a digicube reseller) offers 1 gpbs connection for 49.99 GBP (unmetered, direct, not shared)...

haven't tried it though.. just read about it


edit: I would be careful with hosting-ie... too many billing issues where I've seen people get screwed out of money - like one time MANY customers lost their server and they had to pay again to keyweb to get it re-activated

Upstream traffic is limited to 3TB per month, and then upload is reduced to 10Mbps - additional traffic can be purchased for 2TB for £19 & 10TB for £64.

this is the unlimited page

and rest of all are limited

[Rilly]

those are the OVH servers.. click the other tab that says Digicube servers

[waeldiab]

DIGICUBE UNLIMITED 1000MBPS #3


this one

[Rilly]

right - those say unlimited.. but you have to pay 3 months in advance (6 if you buy through the actual company)

[waeldiab]

Seedboxes - Dedi Large
Processor: AMD Athlon 64
RAM: 4 DDR2
HDD1: 250GB
FTP Back-up: 5GB
Connection: 1Gbps - Unlimited Uploads/
but its not monthly

[Rilly]

yeah, thats the one drawback.. i hate trying new companies for 3 months at once.. 10 days in you realize you made a mistake and now you are out much more money.


edit: I think I'll wait and see what others say about them first..

edit2: Look at the Digi small though.. only 25.99 GBP.. for 100mbit unmetered... the only thing I worry about (hence haven't signed up...) is if you hit 10 TB, are they going to shut you down.

did u tried www.seedcafe.info

i have Package 7



before i was using the Dedicated Server SC 2000.really good combany

i'm actually looking for servers for xdcc's, so they have to be dedicated.

if u are looking for dedicated one i advise u for this company really very good
