[Theif]

Wow, they have increased ram upto 1gb. Awesome :D

Ps, me and couple of other friends have decided to rent 1 Gbps server next month. Can't wait.

[TCD004]

Nice one ;-) The only problem is, that you must be french citizen to order one :-( The prices are unbeatable...

[barakokula]

Kimsufi reloaded :lol: Kimsufi has become an action hero. :D

[SgtMajor]

And I thought it was the game release group spreading their wings :D

[YoYoY]

Niiiiiiice , really nice

[barakokula]

I can't find an option to order that old kimsufi...maybe this means our kimsufis will become reloaded too. I wouldn't mind that. :D

[yayyyyyy]

nice, now just gotta find some friend that can help me to get one :P

[fazzy07]

Kimi is getting better and better

SgT, what about the people on old kimi. Can they get it changed

[SgtMajor]

I guess the ones on long term contracts (free or paid for) - no.

If on monthly contract just get a new server and cancel the old server.

No you will have to order a new one.

[renwickftw]

You can still get the old kimsufi at ovh.co.uk

[Hrvoje]

1 gig, niice

[LoKaLiRi]

very nice offers :) AWESOME

[Sanka113]

Not for much longer. All the ovh sites are upgrading the kimsufi's. Also, why would anyone want to buy the old kimsufis if the price is the same as the ones with upgraded ram and hard disk space?

[TidusBlade]

Woah, I'm getting one of them Kimboxes soon, this is great news!

[WarrenBuffet]

Man, that's for poor people lol.

[danio]

i don't understand what all the fuzz is about? my home connection costs half as much :P.

[superclover]

and your home connection is probably more than half as shite :D (might not be though, but dont know too many people with 50mbps line)

[KennyX]

I clicked order on the £14.99 kimsufi but got the reloaded one (1gb ram, 250gb HD). Price seems to be £19.99 in the UK.

Front page hasn't been amended yet, but when you try to order, all the order options are the same as the French one now, 5 kimisurfs to choose from (use the dropdown menu to choose).

How many kimisurfs are used as torrent/ftp boxes? Im starting to think more than half.

[pro267]

I can't figure out why people are so excited about the 1GB RAM upgrade. When it comes to general torrenting, you can easily max out a 100mbit line using a Linux machine with 256MB RAM. The only time you're likely to see a difference in torrenting is when you try to create a new torrent, in which case it becomes a little bit harder to maintain a very high speed (>5MBPS upload/download), but that only takes a few minutes a day if at all.

The only major upgrade is in the HD space imho.

[predateur]

WHY !! they dont accepte paypal :(
my bad i pay 4x the price of this kimsufi for only 80gb and limited in BW !

Well i am using kimsufi with 256gb ram. And when i download a torrent, i mostly get disk overload as soon as download speed reaches around 3-4 MB which eventually slows down the upload speed. Pardon me if disk overload has nothing to do with ram.

Get some1 from the uk to order you one at 2x times the price!
Yhea your paying more but not as much more :)

actually it has the same bandwidth (100/100) :P. but by all means, this is probably a very good seedbox :D.

[EyezSS]

OVH servers soon going to become oversold and might suffer fate like FDC. I hope i prove wrong as OVH provides most economical servers and most of us can afford it.

[SgtMajor]

UK OVH have updated their range:

http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/dedicated_list.xml

Much cheaper to buy from France if you can.

Check out their Kimisurfs though, rumour has it the XXl will be:

Le processeur est un Core2Duo cadencé à 2x2.53GHz. Il a 3Go de
RAM et 500Go de disque dur. Il est proposé à 46Euro HT/mois.
La même version en 2x500Go (RAID-0/1) est proposé à 56Euro HT/mois

If you will look carefully at the bottom of the page near the '*' mark you will notice:
"OVH is commiting to donate Sgt. 1£+VAT for any box sold through FST."

It is typed real small with invisible ink...

[Sanka113]

^^^ That one sounds like a beast. I'm really disappointed that the ovh uk's price for the kimsufis were raised ,even though they said they wouldn't. I kinda feel that their ripping their UK customers by charging them five more pounds, when their french counterparts continue to pay the same prices as before. Looks like more people will have to shift their focus on finding french resellers now.

[TidusBlade]

Yeah, but an extra 5 pounds for 4x the RAM and 140GB more HD space is a pretty good deal if you ask me, especially now that you can run Windows server on it easily.

[Sanka113]

Like i said, the french ovh added more ram and stuff to their servers too, with no added cost. Raising the prices for UK residents seems a little strange to me. Fortunately, they give you back the difference back in something called loyalty points. Loyalty points are pretty much credits given to you for continuing your service with them. Once you get enough points you can use those to pay for a free months of rent or whatever. I'd still rather just have the price remain the same though.

[cvb]

Does anyone know a good reseller, i'm a danish citizen and its hard to but directly from ovh.de/co.uk/fr/com

[TidusBlade]

Im buying it from a friend living in the UK, so maybe you might know someone who lives in the UK or France or something?


@Sanka113: I still think I'm getting a great deal here, but I didn't know French OVH prices stayed the same...

[cvb]

No, I don't know anyone :/
I tried a fakename on ovh.co.uk and pay with my CC but they didn't accept it.

[n0_NaMe]

How do ovh servers compare against vectoral? I would love to test the kimsufi but unfortunately I cant order one cos I dont live in the UK.

[t0mmy]

there are alot of private resellers for ovh that you could find n0_NaMe :]

for the speed, uptime and support vecotoral is better so far
for the BW and the config, OVH is better ;)

Do any of you realize how embarrassing it is to PAY for free files?
You'd know what a joke it is, if any of you were true sceners.

Well, I guess that's just p2p!!

what must also be embarrassing is bumping an old ass thread for that comment...
