How much are your monthly seedbox fees?
None. My Estonian friend is kind enough to let me use his dedicated server for free :)
I pay 40 $ / month. It`s a 100Mb/ 100 Mb server, 8 slots.
I voted the first option but I don't rent a seedbox. I'll add a "blank vote".
:shuriken:
i rent aseedbox too, 30$ monthly. 100/100mbit server
Dedicated 100 Mbits, 100$, it's expensive, but speed is great :w00t:

I don't mind saying that I'm rather shocked to see people paying $80-90/month for a server.
Why wouldn't you rather pay just $14/month for a news server and max your connection?
good idea skizo
newsgroup is better than torrent BTW
no upload
no ratio
no banning
no trading
I pay $130 monthly, $110 for leaseweb and $20 for leeware
Leaseweb is excellent, if you need a seedbox go for them ;)
It's time to start looking for Estonian friends :DQuote:

Sorry for the noob question but...
Can you rent a seedbox just for a couple os months?
Or do you have to stick with it for a full year or so?
I have used seedboxes for a long time. Voted accordingly.
Or you could get a rapidshare account which is way cheaper than usenet or a seedbox (about ~75USD / year). The only downside is that there is a 'limit' which amounts to approximately ~152GB / month. There's a lot more content and theoretically infinite retention rates.
Yes you can rent a box monthly. :)Quote:

will someone kinda brief me on what a seedbox is?
How fast are the newsgroups?
u usually can max out ur connQuote:

Or maybe it's time to jump into the world of newsgroups... though it sounds to simple to just download. Where's the thrill of finding that seconds-old high-demand dvdrip and start seeding at a zillion bytes a second? Plus community is important also to me.
He probably meant GB, no way you can push 5300 TB in 55 days unless you are on an unlimited dedicated gigaE line.Quote:

But yeah it was nice. I just found it to be kinda lonely though, not much community going unless you read all those text files people upload, but then you'd have to download them to read them and stuff. Also I found it hard to find everything I wantedm, had to go to a bunch of different nzb indexing sites and search and even then I sometimes wouldn't find what i was looking for. There wasn't much scene material either, and the stuff I could find had the nfo's ruined and replaced with that Teabag stuff.
I just think bittorrent is more fun, but I might get a new giganews account as it was quite useful sometimes.
Lol yeah I just re-read that post... the dude for sure meant 5300 gb, unless he has no idea what a TB is :P.Quote:

I use NG's on occasion and still find them useful for some odd things I need or older files but they are not as good as fun as bt is all around. It is safer than bt. A dying breed indeed who still stick with it daily though..... As for maxxing out connections I can do it with both so its a matter of what better suits the user. I prefer BT.
With a seedbox, for 30-40 $ you can upload quite some stuff in your beloved trackers. Then you quit the seedbox, and leech up to a 1:1 ratio (or even worst). Depending on your connection, you can survive some time.
I'm on the uploading procedure now, so i can leech after ;)
