Whats a good seedbox to get to try for a month for a first time user ?

And i have £21(€27.5 - $41) to spend, so would it be better to get a really good seedbox to try for one month or a half decent for 2 months ?

Hmm... I don't know what to say really... but I would go on quality better than quantity! :)

Perhaps other members know how to guide you better than me!

Most seedbox comes with a set up fee, and $41USD isn't much to spend tbh. Maybe you can try OVH since you are from UK. Their servers are damn cheap.

You're not getting an e-penis with usenet.

Yeah i was looking at OVH and they are damn cheap.

Do you have to pay set up fees though because i don't seen anything that says it ?

Would this be a good one to start with

Or isn't there enough ram because i've seen people saying you need at least 1gb+

To be honest Ive thought of both, but havent done either yet, but I have been thinking that if I rented a seedbox for 2 months I could buffer the couple accounts I want to buffer enough to last AT LEAST a year. Considering you are paying for usenet all year, I have been thinking a seedbox could be the better deal.

yayyyyyy

kimsufi it's fine ;)

linux + ktorrent or bittornado...

remove all the services not needed and you will have plenty of bw for a ridiculous price ;)

ppl that need 1 or 2gb are the ones that need a gui, windows, vnc and a crapload of other things ;)

afaik no setup, no long term contracts...

nothing...

just signup and get it working in a couple of days ;)

double check the .co.uk site tho... I'm sure .fr do not have additional things on top of it ;)

centos + bittornado or ktorrent should be a good start for that price ;)
