Questions About My New Seedbox, help plz

[lennonmacc]

Just got a seedbox from www.xirvik.com, and i'm on a five day triail for a small price. I want to know if these are good speeds or not, since i don't know too much since i'm new to seedboxes. I have a semi dedicated server 100mbit connection the xl plan. I haven't gotten over 4mb, only once in one torrent so far. A torrent using 26 of 27 peers is uploading at only at 540kbs, haven't seen an upload go above 1mb yet. I really got a seedbox to download audio recording software from sites like audiozone with files with only couple seeders and a couple leechers, and i've gotten like 1mb download on a torrent 3.20gbs and with 3 peers and 3 seeders. I'm uploading that torrent at 60.00kbps. I don't know is this okay?I'm kind of dissapointed. I know it all depends on how many seeders and leechers, but i still thought it would go faster than this.

I am not a member at audiozone, but based on what you're saying it seems alright.

If possible, check the peers list on site and see who has the most uploaded. If you're dominating, then it's working.

On a fast scene site with lots of boxes, you would probably get a better idea of max speeds. Check a new torrent out if you can.

thanks for your reply, yeah i've tried a new torrent and it hit like 6mb and 2mb upload from iptorrents.

6mb/s is equal to 50Mbit.
you are on a 100Mbit shared connection, so 6mb/s download is good.

I also have a xirvik semi dedi and reach speeds of 10mb down and 10 mb up all the time.

For a shared server that seems decent. Remember that every shared box will be different based on who is using it, how and when.

The only way to guarantee you get 100 both ways is with a full dedicated server.

Do you know any affordable, like under 50 bucks, seedboxes that do 1gbit connection with unlimited traffic?

[TrollinThunder]

There is no way any host could sell an unlimited GBit for under $50. The bandwidth costs make it completely impossible. They would lose a ton of money each month. You won't even find an unlimited 100MBit for that price.

[lennonmacc]

yeah, what was i thinking!

[thomas1499]

xirvik isnt not uninteressting, but i think a little bit expensiver then same other.

Also the SEMIDEDICATED SERVERS / SEMIDEDI LARGE is only in FR/GE and not in US and i didn't have good pings from Asia to the EU and with 25 USD its also a little bit expensive.

Is the speed so good?

[lennonmacc]

honestly, no it isn't that great. I'm thinking about going with a dedicated plan instead.

Do you know, encrypt they the HD?

[lennonmacc]

i think so
