biohost.info seedbox

**ukgenius** · 11-01-2008, 05:03 PM

I am wondering if this is a seedbox worth using.

Basically I am not looking for a really powerful seedbox to buffer large amounts in a short time. I am looking for a cheap seedbox that I can afford to keep all year round to help take some of the strain off my home internet. I am wondering if anyone has used them and if they are any good

Thanks

You will get good speeds, but as you can read on their site, they offer very limited hdd space. But sure, it might be a goo option for you if you're just looking for a cheap box to keep your ratios up.

Ok thanks. I will get a box from them as the prices are unbeatable.

Did you order one yet?

I have one there, the "black box"
they are Ovh Gbit servers from the start, with torrentflux installed.

I have got speeds at 15MB/s down and 5MB/s up.. but damn torrentflux are loading very very slowly.. havn't been able to load any new torrents for 12 hours.. I really dont like torrentflux..

if anyone wants to get one.. you can buy mine for half the price, I have only had it for 4 days...pm if interested..

i would stay away from torrentflux host. its just horrible software.

i had torrentflux on my seedbox at home.. It's not bad software as long as the db server can cope with it!

I really like Biohost so far, over my expectations.

Got my login details 3!! minutes after the order and payment was completed.
The first day with it it was horrible, could hardly even load the torrentflux index page..
but yesterday and today it has been wonderfull, I did about 20GB transfer the first day(when it sucked) and the last two days I have done about 450GB.. 274 today...(so far, still seeding a torrent in 7500kbps..)
Download speeds, max I've got is 13,5MB/s and Max upload speed was about 11,5MB/s but it mostly keep the uploads between 7-8MB/s.

For the price, I must say it is a very good choice if you just want to buffer your accounts a bit

even though I would love some more hdd space.. I know that I got what I payed for so.. no complaints there
