Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
i've been out of the seedbox scene for a long time, and now i'm way out of that league.
i've checked a few sites with their prices, etc and yet i haven't reached any decent conclusion.
what i look for is something around this (price IS the main factor):
1. if it is a dedicated one, i need only something like 60gb HDD, few ram, etc. I don't need it for buffering my accounts, but more to survive at some sites i'm having a hard time. it can even be metered, but at least 1 or 2 tb month (though i think i won't need that much).
2. a shared one with tflux or utorrent webui, that allows at least 12+ simultaneous torrents. HDD can also be around 60~80gb, can be 100mbits metered (again 1 or 2 tb month).
again, price is my main concern. of course that many of you will say "but for more 5€ you get a much better one". I know that, i just can't spend any money, as i'm still paying a lot of expenses.
Thanks for the inputs!
EDIT: i'm .EU based, if that makes any difference, have paypal.

man, the cheapest possible. if it can be 1€ then be it.
it's more to know which sites really offer cheapo combinations for what i need. nothing fancy as many have.
Re: Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
well you can get shit for 10 euros and under but you would be looking at a tiny HD.
my recommendation for a dedicate server is: http://www.leaseweb.com/en/products/...s/packages/34/
for 30 euros you can get a powerful server, this is good if 2 TB is really enough and your ultimate goal is NOT try and get 3TB upload on some account so you can be cool:)
it's a very fast box, your bandwith will probably be gone in a lot less than a month but it will do the job quickly.
As for a seedbox, you can get a shared one for around 20 euros with a large HD, but 12 torrents is tough, also you must be careful from shady reseller sites, since they are usually the ones to offer shared services.
2 recommended ones are:
http://seedplace.org.uk/cart.php?gid=3 here you can get 180GB with 8 torrents for 18 euros
http://seedhost.eu/seedbox here you will get same or more HDD, less amount of torrents for a few more euros
http://seedhost.net/seed.html here for 25 euros you can get everytihng you wanted but ive seen various reviews on these guys so i can't say that i personally trust them at all.
Basically both will do the job if you really only want a couple of terras, shared will take more time with slower speeds, for a bit more cash and if you know how to read a guide on how to install utorrent on linux you get your own server directly from the retailer, top speeds but youll be out of bandwith before you know it, and i warn you not to go over the max cause it might cost you.
Re: Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
well, thank you very much for the help. i checked seedhost.eu site (shit, all names for these sites look the same :wacko: ) and seemed legit.
for all i've seen, i think i'll go for the dedicated on leaseweb running debian.
do they care if you are torrenting on the server?
Re: Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
yes the first 2 seedbox links are 100% legit.
leaseweb is surely the best choice, from my knowledge they won't mind and i know many large trackers use them, i do recall once reading that the org told them to stop letting some tracker use their serveices but i never was able to confirm if its true or not. since then ive only heard good things about them so it shoudlnt be a problem.
Re: Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
fuckers "offer" you the setup fee, but make you pay 3 months in advance. :D
i guess nothing comes for free in this world...
Re: Seedbox [cheapo dedicated or tflux 12+ torrents]
Also check http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36 from time to time.
you can get some deals like 2tb bw with 80gig hd for 30bux.
Or 10mbit unmeterd.
