i requested refund many times as its been down ~6 times in last week for me. Was offered $1.50 refund eventually got it up to $5 but getting that is yet to be seen....
hmmm... logged on to torrentleech today to find an extra 30gb of download I never did
Hopefully it's just a glitch with TL and not something else...
And just to clarify, I'm not implying he's stealing my passkey (there's nothing extra on my snatchlist), just maybe that he's running a faulty client or something (tflux showed me to have DL'd 19gb on a torrent, which I didn't)
change it to bittornado if u are having problems it fixed my problems with conecting to peers
It's still set too low, something we aren't allow to alter. We used to be able to set # of connections, ports, time to seed etc but they took that off since some people were prolly setting them too high.
I have 2 seedboxes with different companies. I uploaded the same (spanking new on tracker) torrent to both boxes... SeedLayer connects to 0 seeds and 8 peers. My other box connects to 1 seed and 98 peers. HUGE difference. In the end I end up seeding a total of 3GB on SeedLayer and 46GB on my other box.
I love my other box :P
is the server down again? (TF3)
I thought it was down for a moment but it just took a real long time to load ^^;
I've concluded that the max connections is 8... and here I thought 25 is bad.
I guess since they are stopping service after this month they don't care about customer satisfaction anymore. Rubbish.
Here's my review of this site's service from a friend's view.
Enjoy everyone.:frusty:Quote:

(6:59:21 PM) Kevin: fucking SL
(6:59:25 PM) Me: ?
(6:59:27 PM) Kevin: FTP access can only be given on the first day you ordered (You should of have requested once you ordered)
(6:59:36 PM) Kevin: On 7/19/08, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:
FTP details will be setup by our tech within 36 hours and we will send it

Kind Regards,

Is that why you told me you'd give me FTP access within 36 hours? (Before the reinstall which deleted all of my data).
(6:59:49 PM) Kevin: that's the email they sent me.. after they said they'd give me access
(7:00:08 PM) Kevin: I'm sooo not renewing this.
(7:00:22 PM) Me: wow
(7:00:56 PM) Kevin: Not sure where the fuck it said I had to request FTP access the day I ordered it
(7:01:11 PM) Me: doesn't matter
(7:01:13 PM) Me: they said they would
(7:01:15 PM) Me: and didn't
(7:01:18 PM) Kevin: yup.
(7:01:30 PM) Kevin: Hm..
(7:01:48 PM) Kevin: I might just do a charge back on paypal if they don't give me ftp access
(7:02:28 PM) Me: good
(7:02:56 PM) Kevin: (There was an error receiving this message. Either you and **** have different encodings selected, or *** has a buggy client.)
(7:04:11 PM) Kevin: The software is terrible..
(7:04:20 PM) Kevin: so, yeah, fuck this site
Just wait to OVH opens to all countries...
tflux3
I've bursted to 1MB/s also sometimes, but only because 1 of the 8 people I connect to actually has the bandwidth to accept such a large speed. I'd rather have more connections and a constant 200kB/s than a rare burst of high speed.
Of course none of this matters because SL oversells and will stop hosting flux after this month anyways. Just trying to get what I can out of this crappy service.
you have any recommendations of any webui/flux host??
i need a stable one now :/
I thought it was excellent for at least the 1st week.
Now theres too many people on the servers :(
Hey, OP's friend here.
This is what they sent me later:
FTP details:
host: xx.xxx.xxx.xx
user: xxxx
pass: xxxx
port xx
Happy?
Am I happy? Not with this company. Doesn't help that they did a server reinstall and decided not to backup any data. Totally unprofessional, here's an email I got from another customer after they did the reinstall:
This is their response:Quote:
Hi Everyone!
If you haven't noticed... the twat at seedlayer CC'ed this E-Mail instead of
BCC meaning that all your E-Mails were visible to every one that got this
E-Mail, and from the looks of it they only have 11 customers on this server
with an average income of say $15 which equates to $165.00, I am sure the
server rental comes in at around this price, maybe more??? Which leaves no
room for them to put food on the table etc. and the way the server is
performing then there is no way they can shove more people on!
I for one am concerned at how insecure our other Information may be with
this mob, and how they are going to stay afloat, so I have jumped ship and
reported them to Paypal as this has been going on since day one!
This is just a bit of advice, jump ship from them before they go bust and
take your money, as I have seen it happen far too often, as I am sure most
of you have :)
Cheers,
Jared
Again.. they fail to BCC..Quote:
Hello Sir/madam,
A person named "Jared" or with the email address [email protected]
just emailed everyone this junky email letter. Please ignore the message, because we have already dealt with him. He is just trying to get some attention :)
We have completed reinstalled the system, and your new login details will be sent very soon.
/sigh
So has anyone actually received a full refund from them? I pretty much just counted my money good as gone.
Opened up their tflux4 page to find
This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.
lmao.
i can access tflux4 with no problem
Tomorrow they are selling their company to a new owner :( (admin told me)
how odd, it redirects me to
http://patriotic.usahostingcafe.info/suspended.page/
however connecting directly to IP allows me to go in
oh they just switched hosts (for the new owner)
i think their dns hasnt updated for you or something idk
This is really sad... total speeds for everyone, not just mine.

Yea I know, but server reboot was many hours ago during the afternoon. Even now it's no better (cept someone is actually downloading something now). This is with 17 people too... can't even top 1MB upload.

well the server im in has been fast for now. been getting 3 MB/s up lately
i dont know what they did somehow they improved it :P
Seedlayer is now a company of Web Hosting ?
nope before it was good seriously
now its just ok
yes seedlayer has a new owner which is now web hosting, admin told me like a week ago
I just ordered one of the boxes on seedlayer, and I don't know how to starting seeding/downloading. Can anyone who uses them tell me what to do? Thanks in advanced.
did you buy web hosting??
you ordered web hosting as the new owner isnt selling seedboxes, go with seedx.net its fast
how is seedx
i will post an image soon...i've gotten 9 MB/s, but they take 24 - 72 hour setup....luckily i got mine in 24 hrs
http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/9909/utorrentzj8.png
i couldn't get to 9 MB/s so here is 7 MB/s
^What plan allows 50GB storage? :P
I might give em a try, it's pretty cheap.
Yea I see that but in your screenshot you have more than 35GB downloaded :P
Would you happen to know what their server is? Is it OVH?
are these your servers hitman??
