Got mine today, loving it! Set up the full deal, getting 23 mbps on new swarms and releases!

Would you care to elaborate on which config you have and what kinda of additional services? You say 23mbps; is that around 3MB/s or do you actually mean 23MB/s on the new swarms?

DS7000
CPU Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (Dual Core)
Memory 6 GByte DDR2 800
Harddisk 2 x 750 GByte SATA II (300 MByte/s)
Network 1 GBit onboard
Traffic 100 MBIT unmetered

23 mbps speeds. Given that was only one torrent I downloaded, I have yet to achieve that again yet, but I have only been up and running the past 3-4 hours. I found thepirate bay has the best speeds torrenting wise. Downloaded Call of Duty in mere minutes! Amazing!!!!

I am averaging about 1.5-8 megs Upload (seeding wise, and hard to do, barely anybody downloads these old albums i like) and 7-18 megs burst download. (from What.cd and waffles.fm) The albums there I download are between 50-150 megs and it just bursts the whole way, finishes them as soon as I start them. It's nice because pretty much everyone on there I think are using boxes too, so the speeds are much nicer than some of the more public torrenting sites I visit. I plan to do more testing / observing later! I am thoroughly impressed at my purchase, and 1.5 TB of space to boot!

Thanks a lot for that info. I've been looking at server.lu as well for my future rig but think a DS4000 will suit me fine (1 private tracker, max. 10000 users).

Assume you got rented it privately as opposed tur a reseller and installed torrent-client yourself as well on the supplied Linux-OS?

From what I have gone through, from order to receiving to now testing out the goods, I am quite satisfied with them. Of course having the server only a couple of hours is no where near long enough to say if it will be a good investment for you. But I will keep you posted with all that goes on with this server.

Yeah, I got the dedicated just for me. Had them put debian on there. Been using linux almost all my computer life since I was around 7 or so, so the set up was fairly easy, there are a couple of tricks to it though with their server set up. (posted in NAQ's guide). I had never used debian before either, I was used to redhat, ubuntu, gentoo and fedora, so it was a fun expirience for me. I put utorrent on it (with wine) instead of rtorrent to have a nicer webui interface.

I'm go to sleep though! if your seriously considering it (who is your provider now and how do you like them?) I wouldn't mind giving guest access for you to test it out later. a try before you buy if you will. but for now i am going to sleep.

I strongly suggest that you not use your box for public sites (incl. Demonoid).

Could you explain a little bit why? I only did it to download and not to seed.

Oh, a hit-and-runner. Nevermind, then. Carry on.

ah, okay, you got my scared.

After reading this topic (and a lot of others), I decided to get a DS4000 from Six66Mike. Mostly because I'm not very proficient on Linux and hoping he can do the basics for torrenting and remote access.

@D3K17: thanks for the offer on testing it but I can safely say I do believe you and were recommended server.lu by others as well.

i got a DS2000 for a couple of months now and im really impressed with it, i can max it out anytime i want, never had any problems, fairly cheap price for what u get...

too bad they dont offer gbit :d

My server came in fine took a little longer than usual because of high order volume. but that's alright
