Vectoral, typically, but it depends on the stats.
Vectoral...
I have a leaseweb, I like it, but Vectoral is slightly better from what I hear and I believe it's cheaper also if you match specs.
of course Vectoral..
Leaseweb Is better?
how can you say vectoral is better rofl. Leaseweb is one of the best hosting companys, they got a huge backbone and shitload of peers. Vectoral is cheaper yes, but quality and support wise leaseweb is the best. i'm not saying vectoral is bad or something, they are also good. but if you have to choose its leaseweb.
How the hell are you suppose to get one from Vectoral, they all say "Sold Out".
Zephyr and SpringAthlon were available a couple of days ago . Just waitQuote:

If you take everything in stride, price, support, bw and so on then I think Vec would win (when they have stock). If you want fantastic speed at all around its Leaseweb.
ScT has alot of both LW and Vec but I am pretty sure there are more Vec on ScT so you might be better off with them if that is the tracker you primarily use.
Give one a whirl and have fun...........
ive used both and they're just about the same, but vec gives u 1 tb more bw.
Vectoral gives you the big advantage to choose the OS you want.
This is the list of OS offered by vectoral:
* Centos 4.4
* Debian Etch and Sarge
* Fedora
* Microsoft Server 2003 (Web, Standard and Enterprise)
* Suse 9.3
* Ubuntu 6.0.6.1
Does leaseweb support Windows operation system, or it's only linux there?
is that matter?Quote:

- bandwith calculation seems to be wrong in Leaseweb, you end up taking more bandwith than utorrent stats tells you (which isn't the case with Vectoral)
- You got more RAM for the same price
- Beter customer service (you can chat online with a rep, pretty cool)
But on the other side, Leaseweb speed is better on most trackers i tried. Though the speeds are great with Vectoral also.
If Leaseweb had a 3000 Gigs/month plan for less than 100$, maybe i would say Leaseweb because of the speed
What are the average upload speed on oink with Vectoral and Leaseweb?
on oink, it's hard to seed, no matter that you are using a seedboxQuote:

thanks for replying! I would love a seedbox but I don't have enough money to get one...:(
if you have 20$ a month to invest, get a leeware seedbox, it's better than nothing and you will be able to seed on trackers like TL, REVTT without problem ;)Quote:

on linux, the best thing is to run utorrent with wine (windows emulation)
Is it easy to setup utorrent + wine?
Vectoral for me...for 60$ USD...I get 1500 gb of bandwidth/2 70 GB hard drives/Windows Server 2003
vectoral ftw
Is vectoral easy to setup utorrent + wine? Linux the best OS for a seedbox?
If you take your seedbox @ vectoral, you don't have to install linux: simply install Windows 2003 and you are done.Quote:

Rexton
I'm gonna buy a Vectoral one. Does anybody know the speeds on OiNK?
someone already asked that above...on oink...it doesn't matter about the seedbox.
On oink, you will hardly ever get more than 2 mb/s and if you do, it won't be for long because oink is hard to seed at it with its large userbase. Vectoral 100mbit can go upto 11 mb/s (atleast mine does) so you will hardly be maxing it out.
How long did it take for Vectoral to install a server for you?
48 hours for me, but i asked for a custom install (Fedora Core 6) so it's normally 24 hours
I ordered a day ago, but haven`t received my configuration yet. I ordered Fedora 4 because I could not find the sixth version there.Quote:

yeah, you gotta ask for a custom os to have fedora 6, but there is no feeQuote:

i didn't try Fedora Core 4 myself but i think that doesn't matter much having FC4 or FC6 for our torrents use but i prefered to ask for FC6 because i've been frustrated with the shitty CentOS lately (old wine version in yum repository etc...) and wanted to be sure would be easy this timeQuote:

I think you've got enough replies now...
