Hi all
im looing at setting up a vps/dedicated server for using torrents and usenet.
What would be my best options? i have looked at the kimsufi(sp) and the feral hosting, but i am unsure if thats what i need. i think it is.
i want to use it to run
torrents (whatever program is best and lowest resources)
Sabnzb
couch potato
SickBeard
Headphones
possibly Newzanb (depending on available resources)
possibly a vpn for myself and my friend who might be going halves in it
i think i will need about 2-4GB ram(possibly more for newznab) to get all the usenet and torrent automation software running smoothly. and i would lie around 500-1TB storage, as i will use SFTP and log in and download them to my system. but am willing to go for less storage if i can get ubuntu (as i can use rsync, and push that to my home based online nas, i think; is that correct?)
I also know very little about linux, but i am able to setup and run these programs, as i have set up my current downloader quite a few times and kinda now what im doing, but failing that, there is google or IRC :)
I am also going to ask a mate if he is interested in going halves with me in it, and if we do that, i will set up seperate log-ins and am i able to use r sync to sync the downloaded data to both of our NAS boxes (i think i ncan by just adding both addresses into the rsync command)?
Also, what ind of upload traffic would i be needing p/m? i have no idea what is heaps, and what isnt. obviously if we only have a 500-1TB storage, and in aus the internet plans are shi7, i only have 100gb/Month. my friend is on unlimited, but dosent live localy, so a bit of a pain for me to constantly be going to his house and syncing my computer to his. but as i would like to get a good torrent ratio, and possibly run a usenet indexer (will only have 5-10 accounts for some close friends) i dont know what is a decent upload P/M.
so, knowing what i want, what is the best option for my needs?
Cheers
Jason
