Is 256MB Ram enough for a seedbox?
Erm hey, i just posted this 2 days back but no once has replied and my post has gone far far back. I just wanted to know if 256mb ram would be able to support Windows 2003 with uTorrent WebUI. Im planning on getting the VPS Raptor 2 from http://hosting-ie.com/content/view/27/64/ . Anyone here using raptor 2 ? please give some info on the speed and stuffs.
Thanks.

I'd like to know about this too, so I hope someone answers. If it's enough, I might also order that one.

It will run, but you will wish you had chosen a nix box instead, which will run 3 times better.
You will forever be complaining about memory, low speeds, slowness, lack of response, constant rebooting and lack of support from their support staff.
It will need constant management by you to keep it tip top, which kid of negates the point of getting a box, you should be getting one to make life easier not more difficult and stressful.
Get a nix distro and follow naq's excellent guide in the tutorials section, you won't regret it.

Thank you for the response. I'm very new to the whole server thing. I think this one was pretty cheap. Including the setup fee, I think it came out to around $45 US. I could be mistaken though. So I'd like to stick in that range or cheaper.

The the Raptor 2 would perform better with the nix but which once? red hat, debian, ferora, suse? utorrent webui supports nix? and so any info on the speeds and stuff for the raptor 2?
Re: Is 256MB Ram enough for a seedbox?
If you are not familiar with any distro, go for Fedora 6 and the guide will work 100%.
And yes, webui is supported with it as well.

hmm ok im not sure if its Fedora 6, it says "FEDORA FREE". Thanks for the info, now anyone here with speed and other stuff info about the server? other than the long waiting time i saw on other threads.

y aman seedbox run for the whole time and tend to hang up if hey have low RAm so if u can afford one then go for something higher or else take the 256///
Re: Is 256MB Ram enough for a seedbox?
I think 256 its ok if you use Linux, but you will need more RAM if you use Windows :S
Re: Is 256MB Ram enough for a seedbox?
oh ok so i guess ill get the Raptor 2 with FEDORA than..ill try getting it tomorrow for now people using Raptor 2 please give some comment on the server
Thanks
