Low speeds on Vectoral seedbox?

[pandabear]

That first box is horrid. More ram, more hdd, more cpu. Don't expect decent web interface when you get crap boxes. But the crap speed is most likely the disk overload. Slow down the max download speed, and see if it picks up. ( i think those IDE do 2MBps)

not normal, i have this one :
Zephyr by

Pre-order only!

• Intel® Pentium™ IV 2.4 GHZ
• 1024MB DDR-RAM
• 80GB 7.2K RPM IDE-HDD
• 3000GB Bandwidth

and i get 11mb/s upload speed

maybe you have the disk overloaded problem (if the disk is overloaded you will seed @ 10-0.1kb/s lol)

On my zephyr I have to limit download for anything bigger then a dvdr to about 6mb/s...bc Disk overload always hits. Damn ide... I wish it came with a damn sata drive.

First get rid of Torrentflux just have a basic bottom of the line uTorrent installed. Keep in mind you have a basic bottom of the line server so you don't want alot of excess crap on there. If you don't want to pay $100 a month all you need to do is limit your download speed I would say as low as 2-3MB, amount of things you have going to a few at a time and stick with smaller files. If this doesn't help PM me and I'll help you further.

Well the server seems to be extremely slow trying to upload and manage torrents through torrentflux. Takes 1-2 minutes just to upload a torrent file and start seeding. I'm thinking the 256mb RAM is nowhere near enough to handle the 100+ torrents im trying to manage. so im going to test the $100/month server just to see if it makes much difference.

Try rtorrent, my box has only about 190Mb ram and it can handle 2MB/s upstream easily

There is already a guide for rtorrent in Guide/Tut box:
