Its safe as soon as u use only on private trackers.
Dont even bother to get a server if u plan to use on piratebay for example.

I have used one for a while and never had any problems, and as I am sure you already know, the speeds are awesome!

I only use private sites though, so you may have problems with public trackers.

So just buy a Kimsufi. Your server's not going to get closed if you don't use it on public trackers.

yeah, if you use public trackers ovh will get emailed from the anti piracy people and your site will get axed after 3 warnings i belive?

private servers for the win~ :)

OVH has stated that in mid-September they _may_ be able to offer their services to countries outside of their normal service zone. It's sort of cryptic, but only a couple of more weeks until we know.

Yeah I think it will be massive for them, but reading in the OVH forums they said that they lost like 15,000 euro last time they offered servers outside so it sounds like they are very nervous about doing it again.

Although I can only imagine the possibilities... lol I rekon they would run out of dedicated servers on the first day the offered these plans if the price stay's the same :)

Hopefully prices stay the same/increase by a little (and hopefully Australia will be one of the allowed countries :P, although I doubt it - after all, when do us Aussies get anything on time? We're too far away from the rest of the world LoL)

Know that your server will work slowly if you went over the same time on the server.

If the Linux OS, up WINE and install uTorrent v1.7, you will not have any problems anywhere private tracker's.

If Win OS not forget that patch connections.

PS.
I use OVH am not and never had problems. The same can be said for LeaseWeb, defect is restricted flow of 2TB.

OVH is cheap but has a specific policy about copyright infringement : if they receive some emails from MPAA-like they cut your server. I'm in France so I could have good price and yet I don't use them, I want to sleep quiet and use all public trackers I want. For me a seedbox is not only to get a good ratio for few trackers, it's also to free my personnal computer if a download looks very long.

Secondly "Kimsufi" servers are seen by them as the "disposable-servers" (so their customers too), and they haven't priority on their network and support. You can see the limit of the "noSLA" mode on their website (capping speed for connection outside their peering links).
