Looking for Seedbox

[Karawasa]

Hey Guys,

My internet connection isn't the greatest and my uploads are not getting top speed. I am looking for a way to really pump out the uploads.

Thus, I would be interested in a seedbox. If you have anything to offer, please post:

HD Space
Transfer Limit
Connection Type
Computer Specs

Look forward to replies.

Merry Xmas

Thanks for the links. I checked out webhostingtalk.com. I was browsing through the offers but got confused. What I am looking for is something under $20. I want to use uTorrent so i guess it must be windows only. HD space isn't a concern I won't be needing more then 10 GB at the most. Transfer limit should be at least 100 GB per month.

Can you help me out, any recommendations?

what?

[Karawasa]

I plan on uploading. Once my upload gets a lot of seeds I will delete it and let others take care of it.

try BestofData they have good boxes for 60$, i have 3 of them and they work verry good.

www.webhostingtalk.com -->"dedicated server" has all your questions and answers.

[Melvinmeow]

If your looking for something in the $20 range your gonna have to look a while. Try looking for a VPS I doubt you would find anything dediced for that cost for 1 user though.

Maybe a totally stupid question.. Can you pay for the seedbox trough PayPal or something, as I'm not 18 yet..

Yes you can, thats of course if they have the option :)

You know any suplier that allows it?

[h4mm44d]

I think 'TheDude87' is looking to buy into an existing seedbox and not a whole one for himself.

[gamer4eva]

Gonna try out leasweb...too bad the windows servers they offer are expensive....

What you gonna go for linux? I suggest you have somebody that knows linux who can help you incase you get into a sticky situation, because i have heard many stories of people going for the cheaper option ie. linux and then gettin stuck.

Good luck hopefully you wont need it :)

Edit:typos, also what package you going for?

Gonna go for the Express server 1 after all its the cheapest...and i'll probably just end up installing Torrentflux onto it :lol:

[JA]

Can someone breifly explain how these seedboxes work? Or give me a link?

rent server, install something like torrentflux (http://torrentflux.com/).

[JA]

So these servers are like any normal internet servers like TPG, Exetel, Optus and stuf? I jsut pay a monthly bill and i can access this thingo?

If you choose Windows as a operating system it will be almost exactly like your home PC(thats if you are using windows web/server editions), you just connect to it/server remotely and then just browse/login to your site and download the torrent as if you would do on your home PC, the torrent and files stay on the server, you would then need to create a ftp back to your home pc in order transfer the files to be ripped,burned or watched.

I got that...up to line 3....right now..i click my torrent..click download..open utorrent..and click OK...then it saves on my comp and all good i click on torrent folder..zip it and all good. From what u said. I dont understand the FTP bit :S

You do everything you would do on your home pc except thru the server now,
1. Connect to server form home pc "remotely" "remote desktop connection" start/all programs/accessories/communication/remote desktop connectioncan be use for windows os
2. browse to torrent site using fox or ie still thru server
3. download torrent file and save files onto server hard drive
4. complete downloading files
5 create ftp, "file transfer protocol", back to your pc, uploading from server and downloading to your home pc
6. un-raring files once you have them all on your home pc or you could unrar the file on the server hard drive and just ftp the complete file back to your pc.

Thought it would be easier if i put it in point form.

For ftp software just search your favorite site :)

[JA]

Woah Thank u very much. I kinda get it..

[Karawasa]

Only problem is Windows = Expensive

[JA]

?wtf

[Karawasa]

Windows Seedbox = Expensive
Linux = Cheaper

[JA]

Gotcha. Anyone Australian here?

[Melvinmeow]

Windows is ussually only like $15 - $20 more a month. Which isnt all that much. Ive even seen a few companies offer windows licences for free.

would ftping back to your pc work behind a router?

i had a really hard time trying to upload through ftps behind a router

[Karawasa]

Thankfully, someone over at TranceTraffic gave me access to their seedbox for free :). 100 MBPS line....

[JA]

Can anyone whos Australian based and got a seedbox PM me...we need to work something out and i need a trial of this 100mbps thing...

[Karawasa]

100 MBPS is godly. No trial needed. Imagine uploading 6 MB/S...

[xtcstylx]

anyone sharing a seedbox? Im willing to pay $20/mo

[aburyach]

I wonder about that actually.
I don't know whether I could pay for anything like that.
The fact is my shitty housemates at University only pay for capped internet - we are allowed to download at most 15GB a month(!!!!!!!) at peak times.
So if I payed for a seedbox how much would I actually be able to use it? Not much...

And also that's a lot of beer.

[aburyach]

You can just join in a seedbox pool and pitch in... an effective dedibox or vectoral server can do about 10MB/s. If one uses this capacity to its full extent- it is around 25,920GB (25TB) upped per month.

lol. That's gotta look pretty fucked up on a top users list...

edit: I might do this at some point. But not now. And only in a pool. How exactly would you share a server?

[aburyach]

How exactly would you share a server?

Beats me, I don't share one:P I guess you could just limit each person to 2 torrents each, and each torrent at a max of 1.5MB/s...or you can alternate days..or amount uploaded, its up to you.

[JA]

Bah im gettin adls2+ that better be good....hehe keke heheh

[xtcstylx]

just create a new user on torrentflux if your gonna share a seedbox

[h4mm44d]

I'm also interested in sharing a seedbox from the UK, if anyone does have anything pm me please

[gamer4eva]

Just get one from leaseweb a linux one and install torrentflux as it is easy to use.:lol:

I don't want to pay too much, the cheapest one I can see is 49 Euros, also I have had no experience with linux, so I think I'd need a windows box

[xtcstylx]

windows box is not gonna be cheap. go to www.webhostingtalk.com and look under VPS server offers since your on a low budget. Before you buy it ask if they allow torrentflux and if they do, you can ask them to install it for you for maybe a one time fee of $10.

[h4mm44d]

Well I've been reading and searching all day and I think due to my budget and inexperience i think the best option for me would be too share an existing seedbox. So if anyone has space on their's please pm me your offers.

If you are going to share seedboxes then i suggest you do it with a friend or someone you know well because you can't really expect it to go fine when sharing it with someone you don't know.:huh:

That's what I thought, but apart from maybe losing one months 'rent' for the seedbox what else could happen...or is that me being very naive?

[gamer4eva]

If you are not bothered about losing money then i think it is fair that you just trust anyone....:lol:

Just kidding. The best thing would be to hook up with someone here on FST that is a nice trader and would be willing to share accounts that way you can be even more certain that you won't get scammed of your money.:yup:

[h4mm44d]

Thats a good idea, but can't you get banned if you use one account with multiple I.P's?

[xtcstylx]

no, you cant with one ip and multiple accounts but vice versa is fine

[h4mm44d]

What about this?


Note that we don't allow multiple users to share accounts so don't login with too many different IPs or we'll be onto you!
