SeedBox - Suggestions

[midnightalker]

Hi,
this is my first thread and I just wanna say its an amazing community you have here. I know I'm new and it's not the best way to introduce myself by asking things already but I really need some answers and I'm sure this is the place to get them.
So, I'm searching for a seedbox. Two days ago I only knew the word and NOTHING else. I've been reading and googling and youtubing(!!) and reading again. I believe I'm ready to go except one thing..Which company?
I can't find a single place with customer reviews. I won't trust the ads :naughty:..
So I'm between these:
seedhost.eu which is a reseller for OVH. I can get a seedbox directly from OVH but it seems they are quite "tough" when it comes to pirate content (torrents). So I found this reseller and talk to a support guy in AIM Messanger. It was really not that professional look he said you can use the seedbox for anything you want no matter the content. But still, is there any difference? I mean it's a reseller so I'll be using the OVH servers anyway.

hosting-ie.com - Thats the second one. It looks OK but I only have heard negative things about them. The plus for me is their Raptor 1 + offer which has 2x100Mbit unmetered bandwidth!!! The minus is that they have 3 months contract at least.

So thats what I have found so far. I now it doesn't sound like much but it'll be my first time. I'm still searching and of course I'm ALL EARS..
but please keep in mind I don't have more than 60euros per month so leaseweb and similar are out of the question.

Thank you so much for your time,
midnight_talker

I used leaseweb express 3... but you might have the linux version... They were great for me... Now i ordered kimsufi xxl from the resellers in which there is 500 gb damn i hope speeds are awesome anyway... Dont use seedboxhosting. I am not satisfied with the speed they offer... Leaseweb is still the best for me...

edit: also if you wait for a while till they set my server up, i might give ya more details before you order machine from the resellers...

my advice to you would be this, dont use anything that doesnt have a quite reputation...

[midnightalker]

Thanks for the fast answer. I really want to hear what you'll have to say about your kimsufi xxl.
One more thing I didn't mention. I have NO experience or knowledge in any OS other than Windows. I also have never used FTP or anything else. I 'm only an "experienced" Windows user. So will I have problems finding my way around? I have bookmarked about 10 tutorials and guides which I will have read by the time I order my seedbox.
I'm also a quick learner...

[waeldiab]

some of ppl recommend ovh & hosting-ie & leaseweb

for me i order from hosting-ie

but they are taking more time to give u your account information

i have now 5 days waiting :cry:

[bilkenter]

well cant tell ya for sure... i had express 3 in which windows vista was installed... i didnt want to have any problems but it would be better if you read the faqs before you get your seedbox... damn waiting sucks :D

[NPAX1]

ovh isn't "tough" on torrenting, and if it was then the number of people on this forum buying them wouldnt be as big as it is.

i'd go with buying directly from ovh instead of a reseller if you can. you'll save money.

i would avoid hosting-ie, you'll wait a very very long time for your login information to ever come.

[slayer2005]

yhea go ovh.voted best provider for upload speed on speedtest.net.
and if u cant go direct look around for a good reseller.my mark up is 10 on top of wateva server u want :-)

[integral]

I'd go for OVH if possible. Leaseweb is also great, but costs more and has bandwidth limits.

[midnightalker]

Thank you all for your answers. I think I have found another GREAT company..It's KeyWeb.de . Does anyone know anything about it? I found it from a MAJOR uploader on TL. So if he uses it, it must be good. It's also placed in Germany with is a plus for me as I was said to avoid US and FRANCE.
As far as ONH is concerned, take a look at this:

[waeldiab]

first time for me to heard about it.and i think Bandwidth is limited

[midnightalker]

FORGET the KeyWeb.de. Its too expensive. I'm only interested for a month so if I have to pay (at least) 69,00 € as setup fee its just not worth it.

Hey, when you pay a reseller which is an asshole, you get what you deserve. Sorry, if I'm making ennemies by saying that but it's the truth. That's what I learnt during the last month. So many people are renting a KS believing it's a wonderful toy that will help them to boost up their ratio and these persons aren't taking into consideration the other aspects.

To people who never rented from a reseller, do your own research before paying for anything. For instance, reading the official OVH website is better than asking to some noobs some kind of advice. Otherwise, you'll be spreading rumors and fake information.

And about this link above, persons who are suffering of that problem are people who rented from an asshole. It means you paid a guy who rented so many servers with the same account and the sum of all of the bandwidth is bigger than 101 mbps. So, bye bye the SLA mode and welcome into the noSLA world where the best speed will be 10 mbps and the worst... Hum, I'm sure your home Internet connection is better than that. :lol:

About seedboxworld.com, you are only paying for an account on their servers. You don't rent a server and compared to a Kimsufi, it's really useless.

[midnightalker]

OK there should be a "Thank you" button here.. I would have pressed it a million times if I could. That's what I wanted to hear..Thank you again and I hope I'll end up with a fine seedbox.

But what if the reseller dosent rent all his servers on 1 account.
What if he only has 2 per account so the chances of no sla mode wont happen;)

[midnightalker]

You know I maybe searching around for the best but I would be happy with even 1MB/sec dowm - 1 up. You see here in Greece the best service you can find is 24/1Mbps which means 1-1,5MB/sec down/90-100KB/sec up. Again, not theoretical, IN GREECE. Everytime I upload a "big" torrent I go to an internet cafe where I seed with 1MB/sec and I stay for about 12hours!!! So anything right now, would be an improvement!

[bilkenter]

well neighbour i am from Turkey, will let ya know when i use the seedbox :D

[integral]

If you don't mind the 2TB Bandwidth limit, then Leaseweb is a good choice. I've had no problems with them in the past, and their speeds are great.

OVH is great to use, especially on the faster 0day scene trackers (ScT, SCC etc). There are a _lot_ of OVH kimsufi box users on these trackers, so if you use one, most traffic will be internal within the ovh network, meaning your speeds will be maxed, and your bandwidth won't really be monitored.

[Santrex]

A simple answer (http://click.adbrite.com/mb/click.php?sid=685436&banner_id=11273659&variation_id=392479&uts=1214270238&cpc=302e3036&keyword_id=177980&inline=y&zk_id=33439924&ab=171966619&sscup=fbed419088b2a29f727d8c9833d5974a&sscra=b1e96ef671080bc8156cba00027bc098&ub=1315524852&rs=&r=) to all those bad threads about santrex, for every successful business there is scammers and enemies willing to get it down. End of the story santrex is a successful business that have a good huge amount of customers, santrex do offer a high standard quick support response and does as well listen to it's customers. If enemies out there want santrex to go DOWN it wont go down and will continue offering the most cheap and stable services around.

NOTICE THAT... On this package each master server hosts 3 Virtual Dedicated Servers
Price per month...35euros I guess it doesn't inclube the VAT

[nthpeter]

I'm using vectoral. It has b/w limitation and disk capacity is a bit low, but the speeds are awesome, costs are avarage.

[midnightalker]

OK it's done tomorrow I'll order my seedhost.eu seedbox..Though I'm still trying to choose an OS..Thank you all I'll let you know what happens

[waeldiab]

mate just order from hosting-ie

[integral]

you'll wait a long time before getting your hosting-ie vps, if that's what you're ordering. do you have the patience?

[midnightalker]

Just noticed its a VDS/VPS not a dedicated server!!:frusty::angry:

[bilkenter]

mate i am gonna buffer scc 1 tb today if this goes on, uploading for a while now with 10 mb :D omg that rocks!!!!

here now the speed i get from seedbox...
amazing speeds as long as you get them early...
http://i29.tinypic.com/2eldr3k.jpg

[integral]

Just noticed its a VDS/VPS not a dedicated server!!:frusty::angry:
I don't honestly think speed or hardware usage are what people complain about when they get hosting-ie. It's mostly the long, long wait people experience when they order.

But if you want to feel secure, then hosting-ie sells Dedicated Servers as well.

[bilkenter]

i dont think you will be satisfied with 70 gb mate... i have 500 now fulling it with stuff...:D

[uploader23]

OVH and its kimsufis are great specially the kimsufi xxl...

[bilkenter]

yeah i have it and buffer like hell damn :D

[spencer785]

trust me get the ovh its the best all the time full 100mbit connection no problem i'm buffering like crazy with it

[integral]

Although I don't exactly agree with the buffering phenomenon, OVH is a good choice. Quite cheap and unmetered, how could you go wrong?

[TechnoMan80]

hosting-ie the best
OVH is good too if you use for internal traffic
out of the network it isn't that good

[midnightalker]

thank you all for your suggestions..I REALLY appreciate it. I went with OVH (reseller) more specifically seedhost.eu and its great...still have problem but thats only because I'm a noob at Linux and I ordered it with Ubuntu Linux!! I was getting the cheapest with a celeron and 1GB ram so I thought Windows 2003 will be too heavy for my system..
I would like to try ie-hosting but they have 3 months cotract at least..come on this is not trying, this is buying...!

[maxitout]

I have not tried OVH but have only heard good things of it.
I thought about it - but did not want to learn all that lingo so I just decided that I was going to get myself a simple TorrentFlux seedbox with BR-Hosting.com and have been happily using it for the last 6 months.
So far - I can only recommend BR-Hosting accounts for people that don't want to learn all the linux details.

[KennyX]

Some stickies with info on the various providers. Sites to avoid, good sites; seedbox comparisons etc.

[arkan]

I need a suggestion on which provider to go in for hosting-ie(Lin 577) or seedhost.eu(Intel Pentium E2180 2 x 2GHz) ?

I have gone through many discussions here. and this is what I get...

Hosting-ie :

Not so good customer service, but improving, and better service on dedicated vs VPS. Speeds pretty good, did not hear any complaints on that,
Better speeds with outside peers compared to OVH and OVH resellers.
High setup fee,
Monthly fee of 50Euro seems decent, especially as they let you hog 10TB / month with out any problems


Seedhost.eu:
Well i dunno anything about this... except someone here said its very good...
Also no setup fee.
Monthly fee almost the same as hosting ie.

So should I just go in for hosting ie?

or is seedhost.eu reliable? because i havent really heard of seedhost outside this site, no review etc.



Also i talked to the hosting-ie customer service guy on ICQ and he responded very promptly and answered all questions.

Please suggest...

P.S. should I make a new thread of this ?

[bilkenter]

that one shall be me, it is totally cool, if you have time and know your way around rss and mirc, then you can easily buffer 1 tb a week (too easily) .
Here is the day i joined Tl
2008-06-25 15:49:00
here is my current details...For the last 3 days, i havent added any new torrent at all....
Uploaded: 870.01 GB Downloaded: 109.58 GB Slots: Unlimited slots
anyway if u need proofs, just name it, it is a worth try... and if you are to trade, you can easily get tt invite or better ones which i couldnt do :D

[arkan]

Thanks for the reply.

Which config did u get ? also how are ur server to computer ftp speeds ?

also usually what are your max, avg and min speeds that you get... ?

[bilkenter]

i dont use ftp much actually... :D linux debian
max 15 mb ul, average 10 mb dl, 7 8 mb ul speed, minumum speeds depends on how much seeders you get, you might get even 100 kb on it if there are so many seeder with seedbox, the key is to use mirc to know what is coming, then get it before others... irc is very effective in buffering

[arkan]

Cool, whats ur hardware config ? u took one of the dedicated servers right ?

[bilkenter]

oh yeah kimsufi xxl actually :D you can check it out from ovh :D or seedbox.eu but on ovh it is named kimsufi xxl:D

[riparide]

I did get one from Seedhost.eu

They resell OVH.

Speeds are decent. Downloads maxed out on 10MB/s.

The maximum upload rates i got was: 4.5MB/s

Any tried hosting-ie ? Better then OVH in general ?

Yes - you should have made a new thread! :)

I would go for OVH direct (not a reseller) or ie.hosting direct, that way when you need support you are actually talking to the main man!

Go for what you can afford, but the more RAM is always the better, and with ie.h you can easily ask them to install another GB or RAM for you, at a small extra cost.

Like all things, if you interact well with people then you will get better treatment back, so for me ie.h support works fine, for others who are more demanding, then it isn't so good.

And I answered you other post thus:

If it's a general question, then it is best answered generally and for all to see anyway

With a dedi 577, and RAM improved, there is no reason why you can't get 7-9MB/s down (you can max it to 10-11 but your upspeed will suffer) and at the same time get 7-9MB/s up, which is nearly as damned good as OVH & LW boxes, and without limits.

Most is down to the RAM you have, and your utorrent setup and finding the right torrents, but if you can seed long term on your box that is when you will see maximum benefit, especially with ScT packs

The 892 Pearl is outstanding value if you can llive with the setup costs and plan on having it long term, and if you can afford to pay for long term contract (6+ months) - they will either add some freebies or cut your cost of setup, it's all about how you ask

[riparide]

SgtMajor,

Do u have a contact e-mail address for Hosting-ie ?

Thanks

[SgtMajor]

email won't work - your email address has to be registered within their system for it to get through.

They have icq where you can chat with them, it is on their home page ;)

If you plan on chatting with them, ask for promotion codes and that you can pay for 6+ months if you get a good deal with a promotion code ;)

Thanks for the reply, :) I am planning to take Dedic Raptor Pro Lin 577


Intel P4 3.0 GHz or Core2 Duo 2x2,0
http://hosting-ie.com/images/arr.gif 2x160 GB of HDD disk (Raid optional)
http://hosting-ie.com/images/arr.gif 1 GB of RAM (DDR Rec Ecc) (info) Also with raid0 on the HDDs.

Is this config enough not to have any bottlenecks other than the network ? I ask because on my existing seedbox, utorrent does not really take that much ram (I have a 128MB cache) !?? So is 1GB of ram going to be enough ?

also they have an option of getting 2x100mbps connection for 10Euro extra. i.e. they will give 2 physical ethernet cards... is this worth it ? will it mean more speed ? if I take it, I will run 2 utorrent processes, and bind each one to one NIC.

I usually seed on trackers that have lot of leechers. on Bollywood movie sites(Indian movies) So getting peers should not be a problem.


Also sgt, what FTP speeds do you get from hosting-ie ?

please advice.
Thanks.

It's well worth chatting before you buy, the longer you can afford your contract, the better, just don't mention torrenting, they don't care as long as they don't get told :D

Can't beat a good 577, good choice.

1GB of RAM is enough, but the more you use firefox and the more torrents you eventually seed, you may find you have to open & close your progs more than you would like, you can increase this option by 512mb at a time later if you find you would like more, I got 1GB extra for free :D Well worth it, on a windows box, on a nix box 1GB is way more than enough.

You can end up sharing the costs of your box with a friend, and he will have his own IP with his own hard disk and his own network card, or you can do what you suggest, both are options you can think of, half costs and share or double speed - choices, choices :) Or you can create yourself as another user and use the resources all to yourself, but you will certainly need more RAM.

I max out my home connection via FTP, 20mb home ADSL line.

If you are steady and patient and learn how to maximise the use of your box, then you will get the most from it.

[arkan]

:O That is indeed very good news, I was worried about FTP speeds. But are u in USA?

an extra 1GB of RAM is 10Euro+20E setup, the 2x100mbps is also the same. Which would be worth more ?

I am assuming I can add RAM later on without much problem ? Also I will be using win 2003.:)

[SgtMajor]

No - UK.

FTP is an art, you have to learn how to set up your server & client to suit your needs nd your location, it isn't difficult - more like a bit tricky. No point in trying to do 1 file at a time, you need to wait until you have many files, or a file in many parts such as RAR files is just as good, set your server for multiple threading, set your server & client for 10 connections and set it up to run when you are in your quiet time (midnight to midday??).

I would get the box up & running before adding extras, then bribe them saying you will pay for another 3 months if they give you a free 100mb card, then after running your box for a while longer will you know if you can do with getting more RAM.

[arkan]

Cool, thanks for the advice. :D

4TB?? - less than 2 weeks usage of a fully utilised ie.h box :P

Many do 10TB+ in a month, not forgetting data is torrents up & down + any FTPing you do all combined, so just don't go thinking you can do 4TB up to trackers :)

[arkan]

sgtmajor: dont hosting-ie have a limit of 10TB/month ? after that they do some stuff like limit speeds and make u pay 20Euro for reinstall ?

Well I picked 4TB as a starter, I can always up the traffic. I want to get used to it first. See what I will truly need, I figure after the first month I will know exactly where I'm at and whether I need to tweak the data or anything else.

sgtmajor: dont hosting-ie have a limit of 10TB/month ? after that they do some stuff like limit speeds and make u pay 20Euro for reinstall ?

I know of 2 people here who did 17TB in a month, they got caught and just went for a format/reinstall, I've never heard of an actual figure being quoted, but if you plan on having your box for a while, then just be sensible about it, no need to rush everything in the first week, no matter how good it feels :)

How do they make to buy a server that OVH, not sell to our country?

[TOrrentersOne]

I did about 17 TB this month :) forgot to look after it, but didn't' got caught yet, probably it depend how loaded is the subnet where the server is located,
Now will slow down for any case :)
it is not safe if you care about your server, but the vacations, vacations m8 :) hadn't that much time :)

How about a using windows on a seedbox guide for noobs?

[TOrrentersOne]

I think you are in wrong place m8 :)

[KennyX]

lol, SeedBox - Suggestions (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-seedbox-discussion-154/t-seedbox-suggestions-300738/page7/?) looks like the right place to me!

Noobs need this sort of hand holding. A nice step by step thread showing how easy it is will encourage more people to try an OVH box.

I don't' think anyone needs it :)
People who are top low budget will anyway go for ovh,

People who needs high out local network speed and needs server for long term
will be crazy to go some where else than hosting-ie,
So really can't see need for it.

[xjosephx]

so how long does it usally take hosting ie to set up a vps and are the speeds good

[TOrrentersOne]

as far I know now dedic boxes are getting set within 24-48 working hours.
Vds servers longer.

OVH and kimsufi the bests in my opinion.
