Do they offer any extra HDD for extra €?

[Six66Mike]

No I've been trying since before I signed up, they refuse.

SO after reading this thread and other threads I decided to sign up but that was 48hrs ago...How long did you guys have to wait to receive the payment email? I chose to pay by credit card and used my a non-free email account. I know they're swamped but it's didn't say the server was out of stock. I'm with seedplace right now but OVH decided to start throttling my non-OVH zone traffic for about 12hrs a day so it's useless to me now. So how long does it take to get the first email for payment?

[Six66Mike]

Payment email for me comes through in under 1 minute after you submit an order. Just follow the emails and go. Depending what server you bought will reflect your wait time on delivery as well.

How do you get your files from your dedicated boxes? I get 2 mb/sec using the server.lu test file over http:// (on their site) but getting files over FTP from my DS2000 is just 700 kb/sec. Running vsftpd, any ideas? Also is there any other recommended secure way of getting files?

There are loads of guides & tutorials on configuring SFTP on your server. Best guess is visiting the forum of your specific OS.

Haven't been able to get my DS4000 delivered yet (problems at server.lu) but you could try changing your FTP-client to see if speeds improve. I had the same slow speed with CuteFTP on a server and after switchting to FileZilla, I got fullspeed.

Thanks for the answer, I actually switched to filezilla earlier today and speed increased a bit. But I'm still at half of what my connection can handle. Starting to wonder if it's a peering problem (to Sweden). Or there is something wrong with server conf/hardware.

Is there anyone else here who has done the test at speedtest.net and which speedtest server did you use?

[BethCooper]

The peering from and to sweden is not that good actually, I got speeds from 1MB/s to 6MB/s, bet it was mostly at 2-3MB/s.. Depending of how meny files were transfered at the same time..

So I heard from am=nother member that there's a reseller around here who will sell the 49 Euro box without the setup fee. Not sure whether I'm allowed to receive PMs yet but if that guy could contact me that'd be great. Have three out of four people for sharing the DS2000 so it'd be a little cheaper than what I'm using now and probably slightly higher-performing, even shared between four people.
