UPDATE: Mission accomplished! Since I got what I need, post can be locked or removed permanently. Thanks to everyone interested/helped me during my search!
Hi all,
I've got an idling seedbox, and thinking to trade the bandwidth for invitations (or accounts, should you prefer).
Details of the server (Leeware VPS100 (http://www.leeware.com/vps100.html));
OS: Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org/) Core 6
RAM: 384 MB
Bandwidth: Unmetered 100 mbps
Disk space: approx. 17 gigs
Client: rTorrent (http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/) (0.7.6-SVN)
Client Management: via FTP (http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd)
Client monitoring: via WWW (http://www.g-loaded.eu/2007/06/23/rtorstat-a-simple-rtorrent-status-web-page-generator/)
A note on the performance;
Well, it's Leeware :) Neither the fastest vps, nor the best network, but stable. It's still better than vectorals' cheap PIII dedicated servers! Can constantly upload 1,5 MB per second if you choose the right torrents in a moderately crowded tracker, which is enough to create a TB size buffer in a week or two.
Rules;
My part;
I will give you the server access for 3 or more weeks, depending on your offer. I won't use the server for my personal torrents during this time, all server resources will be dedicated to your personal usage. I will monitor the server and try to help you if you meet any trouble, assure your comfort as being your host.
Your part;
You will supply an invitation (preferred) or an account (no warning history, with registered email) for ScT or FTN. No need to have buffers on the accounts, fair ratios will do fine.
Pre FAQ;
Can I SSH into server?
No, sorry. No shell accounts, not needed.
Are there any limitations on content?
Yes. No sick and disturbing material (gay or child porn, rape or snuff movies etc.) on the server. Our arrangement is over at the moment I see one, your account and data will be shredded immediately!
Do you mind if I share my account on your server with a friend of mine?
No, not at all. As long as you are aware of that you are personally responsible of your fellows behavior on the server (see FAQ #2), I don't mind. System resources and the disk space is your limit.
Can I run uTorrent instead?
Sorry, not allowed. I have fine tuned the server and tweaked its performance very well with rTorrent, which I believe is the best torrent client around for seeding purposes. Besides, I've been simplified its usage for you; you will just upload your *.torrent file to the server via FTP and it will automatically start downloading (5 seconds latency, tops). Wanna stop a torrent for a new one? Then you will have to delete torrent and the data from the server via FTP. That's all! Everything has been taken care of, you don't need to worry about a thing ;)
Why can't I run uTorrent?
First, its not a native Linux application and definitely not my favorite on a Linux box :) Second, it can't beat rTorrent in terms of performance.
Can I monitor my torrents from a web interface?
Yes, you can see how your torrents are performing via your favorite web browser. Please note that I am not talking about a "web user interface" like uTorrent's web ui. Just a simple and non interactive web page with stats, which will update in every 5 minutes.
It says that VPS100 has 20 gigs of disk space, why are you offering only 17?
Although its been told at leeware.com that VPS100 accounts have 20 gigs of space, OS and swap counts against your quota. Hence the "approx. 17 gigs" of space.
Are you interested in other trackers, like XXX?
No, thanks.
PM me if you are REALLY interested in!
