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.

• Dedic Raptor Pro Lin 892 Pearl NEW

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/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)
• A Dedicated Linux Server
• Mozilla Firefox

1) Open PuTTy.

2) Enter IP of your Linux box in the Host Name field. Select SSH. Enter a Session Name. Click Save.



3) Select the Saved Session you just created and click Load.



4) Navigate to Connection > SSH > Tunnels.

5) Enter a Source Port of your choice. Select Dynamic & Auto. Click Add.



6) Navigate back to Session.

7) Select your Saved Session. Click Save. Open the Session.



8) Once connected, open Mozilla Firefox.

9) Navigate to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network

10) Select Manual Proxy Configuration. Enter 127.0.0.1 in the SOCKS Host field. Enter the Source Port you chose earlier. Make sure Socks v5 is selected.



11) Browse to http://www.whatismyip.com to make sure everything works OK. It should display the IP of your Dedicated Server.

When you have finished using the proxy, close PuTTy.

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
