Thanks for the help here people, but when I try to setup vsftpd and putting rsa_cert_file=/root/vsftpd.pem in the config and then try to start the program I get error and it says it cannot load the rsa certificate. And the .pem file is there I've checked.
Help please? :)
Quick question should I go with Fedora 6 or are you guys using an older one.
I'm all fixed up now at hosting-Ie Max emailed me so now I'm going to upgrade to a dedi 581.
Thanks
Almost everyone in this thread use fedora 6. So go with that.Quote:

Did you generate this cert? Only reason I can think of... Try again:Quote:

For now, i'm really enjoying the seedbox. Although i think that Upload is slow ( max 4mb/s
My experience messing with uTorrent on the kimsufi, don't change the Disk Cache setting, leave it at default. Forcing higher cache at 150MB seems to screw things up when uTorrent uses up all the memory. Don't have too many active downloads. If you get disk overloaded warnings, limit the download rate to around 5MB/s.
I'm getting disk overloaded many times too. It would be good to have a 1GB Ram box :)
I don't come close to the upload speeds you guys say you get. I can't seem to connect to half as many peers as I should.
My guide is up for those needing help. It's incomplete, but most of the important stuff is there.

Na all the credit goes to naq, I just noob tested it thats all. :lol:Quote:

I no that kimsufi are free for 12 months but there is no way in hell they are good enough to use for a seedbox weather you are using rtorrent or not.. you just havent got the performance..
I recently brought a kimsufi dedicated from ovh and i tried various OS's and torrent clients.. the max upload i reached using rtorrent was just over 3mb/s but as the download climbed the upload would fall.
I decided to go with 100M L+ and the performance is so much better.. I tested on a public tracker and i was getting 10-11mb/s almost constant.. I also get the full 10-11mb/s downloading when not uploading excesivly. I really would reccomend this for all you upload0rs and seed0rs.. i mean common 24 quid more gets you 750GB HDD Dualcore 2x 2.00Ghz 1GB DDR.. and setup was about 15 mins.. So OVH all good for me now =)
Speedtest:

Ditch kimsufi there rubbish i had one before not good enough for a seedbox performance.. I was using rtorrent and not getting much more than 3mb/s uploading the faster the download became the slower the upload was. I brought a 100M L+ Cant go rong for 24 quid more 1GB ram 750GB HDD Duel Core 2x 2.00GHz Now im getting between 10-11Mb/s upload and the same 10-11mb/s on download when im not uploading heavily using ubuntu desktop.
Speedtest of new server i recieved yesterday:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/240829043.png
Use /home
I have a question , OVH can only be purchased by European countries? isnt there another way to order them
Method 1
To get a Linux Desktop Using Fedora Core 6 [Sexy GUI]
On this guide all commands are case sensitive]
Use putty to login to the server.
Type:Then allow the transaction list to populate - allow the server to download and install then...Code:yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Type:Then allow the transaction list to populate - allow the server to download and installCode:yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
Now the Fun Bits :S
Type:change VNCSERVERS="id:username" [ i use 5:root]Code:nano /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
and ammend VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry <desired_resolution> -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost" [again i used 800x600]
press [CTRL]&X then say y to save it.
then type :follow the on screen prompt and choose your password :DCode:vncpasswd
Now The tricky bit no1
Type:You need to make that file look like this one:Code:nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "glx"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "dri"
Load "vnc"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "sis"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "VideoCard0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
Modes "640x480"
EndSubSection
Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth"
Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth"
Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
Then:
Amend line to read:Code:nano /etc/inittab
Press [CTRL]&X and say "Y" to save changesCode:id:5:initdefault:
Then type
# init 5
# startx
Now you can logon to the server with VNC Viewer and it be {almost} like windows :D
Now just install rtorrent [the linux equivlant of utorrent] job done
Method 2
Connect via putty
type nano install.sh [this opens a text editor]
paste this:
Then press CTRL & XCode:#!/bin/sh
# Install crap (php, httpd, mysql)

# Restart mysql
echo "Restarting MySQL"
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
# Restart xinetd
echo "Restarting Xinetd"
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Save it :D
then type:
chmod 777 install.sh
then type:
./install.sh
Now you should have Flux :o and FTP :o
BUT
The kimi installs a pathetic amount to the home folder soooooooo
Dont forget to change your download location via the admin page on flux
Not had a problem yet with my little kimi
Hope this helps someone :D
Also - Sarge - you went for the wine option - how is working out for you bud?
Hi, Help! i try order new server via ovh.fr/ovh.co.uk and when i insert my nickhandle+pass i receive this:
The billing country for your order doesn't correspond to the country of your customer account.
i come from PL. I dont want order box via ovh.pl becouse they have stupid rules.. any idea?;)
Ok so i have a question, ive read this whole thread, tried some trix and yet i cant get past 60kbs upload!!! sometimes for an hour or 2 ill see close to 1mb but thats all, download speed is usually fine, i tried limiting it, played around with the cache but nothing seems to work.
ok, yes im running it on a windows 2003 server and as much as it sux, thats an excuse perhaps to get poor performances but not like the ones i get.
so what do i do (please dont say switch to linux, that is not an option for me ).
You dont have a choice.Quote:

So try a site that doesnt have many seedboxes and lots of users (revtt and TL are best places to see) and just download a popular movie right after it is pre'd and see what speed you get there.
B. Have you verified all the settings are correct? IE, you have a good open port, torrents are all active. etc etc
C. Disk ovrerload might be screwing with you...check to see.
D. Seeding too many torrents? Try just seeding 1 torrent that you downloaded right after it pre'd to see what speeds you get. Too many torrents can mess with speeds.
If its not the above, then you might have an hardware issue.
Who is your provider, and what box do you have with them?
hey thanks for the response
A- ive tested all sites...
B- i think so, i dont know what a "good" port is, how do i check?
i figured if its running is opened...
C- ive changed it from 150 and down to 30, didnt seem to change a thing.
D- tried 1, and 2 and 3 and more...:\
I have the kimisurf of course...
thanks
Wine & utorrent webui works for me, I even got the free FTP client FileZilla to max out to my home connection and to my other seedbox, and seeing it fly at 11MB/S to Hosting.ie rocks :DQuote:

My guess is that either you got bad hardware...or you are trying to seed junk. its a little late to hit prime time...but id say if you grab ...for example...lost right after it pre's and you atleast dont get a 3-5 ratio on it...then its hardware related.
Might be that 256 ram just isnt enough for torrenting on windows..thats why i learned nix for this freebie.
ya, ports are ok, i actually grabbed a lost last week 4 minutes after it came out.
ended up with 350MB dl and 1.1GB upload after 4 days of slooooow ul speed that my home connection can beat...
i realize that the 256mb sux with windows but utorrent does not take up that much memory, and even when i try 1 torrent from TL which is new and has 1 seeder and 37 leechers i should still get at least a megabite and not the puny 12kps that i get...
hmm idk man, i know for a fact that utorrent does take up memory when downloading fast due to hard drive not keeping up with it...Quote:

how are your ftp speeds?
a neither have i, my home connection dounbles the speed of my box:P
though i am now getting a whooping 250kbs ("wow").
hmm i dont know how to install ftp on windows...
just use Cerberus FTP Server it's easy to set up ;)Quote:

thanks!
(woo hoo, now my DL speed is on 20kbs and im downloading from ftn...)
nbo, you see the disk overloaded error on the bottom of utorrent often? Have you run a speedtest to make sure the problem is only with utorrent?
My advice: leave disk cache settings at default, then restart utorrent. See if that fix your speed issue. If it does, in the future, just limit the download speed when you see disk overloaded errors.
just us an uk addy ;-), lfc4ever is luckyboy, lol tags?, lucky to be european, major on top lol, sarge you lucky bastard, unlucky for everyone else some weird ass tags
nope, never got a disk overloaded error b4.
ran speed tests and they suk, dl is about 2-3mb, ul is 1.5 perhaps
I've got everything working very smoothly on my server...except for the FTP side.
Whenever I try to download something to my computer via FTP, I get abysmal speeds. It takes almost half an hour to get a 200mb file off my server onto my computer.
Any suggestions or ideas?
My home connection is around 7mbs down.
I followed naq's guide. I tried using FileZilla like FatCat suggests, but I can't get it to work. The program starts fine, but it never connects to the server.
Hey again, I got everything set up with and working good, but with root. And by that I'm running into problems with the ftp, ye. Can I in an easy way create another user now and start using that to run utorrent and shit but not loosing any options that I got atm. I think if I create another user now, the directorys will be wrong and utorrent won't be installed etc?
I hope you understand what I mean.
You won't lose anything under root. The home directory for the new user will be /home/username, so all files for the new user will be in there. Look at my guide from section 4 - 6 to create a new user. If you want to stop using root, you can move the files into /home/username using "mv", then type this to change permission:
# chown -R username:username /home/username
Then just reload the torrents in the new utorrent under the new user.
