hosting-ie vps connection speed

shared by 5... no wonder the speed is so unstable
I'm on a low budget, 70 pounds for dedicated setup fee is too much

Let's say I have an idea to share with my 2 other friends for a dedicated server, if we all log in to the server at the same time and all running it's own torrent client, would that really eat up the server resources a lot ?

It would die a death, quickly!

I might do a weekly sub-let of my seedbox, prob about £10 per week (less than half of what I pay), good for those on a low budget, but I find I am not using it as much as I used to, everything I needed it for has been accomplished, but by retaining a little bit, I can continue to seed my long term stuff, and keep my seedbox alive.

Some half-decent chip or other
1 GB RAM mem
160GB hard disk
Win 2003 Web Edn
Utorrent & Firefox installed
Access via RDC via an IP & log/pass, you can set up Webgui if you wish.

You can easily do 200GB+ a day on very popular torrents to popular sites.

3 users on a Linux box each using rTorrent would be fine.

I just think of a problem that might come if I'm gonna use rTorrent on Linux without GUI, some of site like AOMKiller doesn't have passkey, so I have to logon from the same IP, that's from the seedbox, then if it uses Linux how do I connect to the tracker web ?

And about the connection speed is being shared by 5, I just think that it might be not so bad at all, since uTorrent would have a problem, like today on my vps, when the download speed reaches up to 8MB/s, suddenly the program just closed itself.

That one will runs all 6 Clients or more without any hiccups
But..... You have to remember that connection will be shared again between your friends

Or go fro this ones http://hosting-ie.com/content/view/29/66/ but take some higher ones like Rabtor Plus 2 or 3 I don't' think that there is high setup fee if there is at all.

It's easy.

All you would need to do is create a dynamic tunnel over SSH to your server. Once created, the dynamic tunnel would act as a SOCKS5 proxy allowing you to browse the web using your servers IP.

any tutorial link about that Fibre ?

You will need:

• PuTTy (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html)
• A Dedicated Linux Server
• Mozilla Firefox

Fibre, could you teach me how to do that on Mac OS terminal ? I use SSH command directly from Mac OS X Terminal

edit : I figured it out, just an easy command line : ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -D xxxxx(this is the port number)

while the socks proxy can be set up in the system preferences
