Hi guys!
I have just rented a seedbox and it is great for public trackers (in that it is easy to set up), but the main reason I got the seedbox was for using in private trackers - the ones that link your IP to the torrent for ratio tracking, which is no good for a seedbox.
I have seen a bunch of tutorials around about PC guys setting up using putty and the like.. but is there a simple Mac way of linking my seedbox IP to the tracker?
Cheers
S.
you must vnc to the box ( my vnc app of choice for mac is chicken of the vnc )then login to the site from there, its simpliest way to do that :D

The seedbox is rented from another company and they are using rtorrent which I think means they are using Linux or something and other people are using it for the same purpose. Does this mean that using VNC I just take over the seedbox computer and start a firefox session on it, navigate to the tracker on the web and go for it? Or have I got it all wrong? :wacko:
oh so its rented seedobox, then i think u must contact this company and ask them if they can or already configured vnc for you :>
rest is easy u just fire up firefox/iceweasel and navigate to the site of ur choice :D
goodluck
Yeah, I don't think they are going to go for that as they have heaps of people using their seedboxes at any one time.Quote:

i think u should give it a try anyway, its you who is their customer after all :>
Well, I think I'm getting a reputation as being 'That Annoying Mac Guy Who Keeps Asking Stupid Questions' over there.
I guess its hard being the only Mac user around in a sea of PC guys sometimes

Most trackers won't take any action unless there is a change of email address with the IP change as I recall. I didn't have any problems with my seedbox.
You could probably just use the seedbox as is, and if you're really worried about it - just mention that you got a seedbox in your profile on the tracker, and the staff would probably understand - especially when they notice how fast the connection is that the IP is attached to. Especially if you can provide a speedtest/IP of the seedbox you have if you have to go into an IRC channel. The only tracker I would worry about is BitMeTV, but even so you might be fine - I haven't dared to try that one yet.
Oh, well I'm thoroughly confused then! I thought that when you downloaded the torrent file from a private tracker, they matched that IP address with the torrent file and so when I FTP that torrent file to the seedbox for downloading/seeding then it will have my IP rather than the seedbox's IP, meaning that my ratio won't benefit from having the seedbox...Quote:
