Thread: Seedbox Providers, Any Suggestions

  1. #1
    Hello, well after a couple weeks of trying out some private tracking sites. I now know for sure i will need a seedbox. I have been looking into torrent swift, but i'm not convinced, because i've seen some pretty bad reviews about them. So i'm here to ask, if anyone can recommend a good seedbox provider. I'm okay with spending up to 40 bucks a month, but i just want to get something stable and reliable to use with good speeds and good features like bandwidth n stuff. I would really appreciate any help.

    Agreed.

    The lowest ratio I have on any tracker I'm a member of is 2.02 and that still has a 50+/- GB buffer. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - seedboxes are a waste of money.

    With those numbers it's easy to do the math - basically all your activity in that tracker amounts for less than what many power users do in their trackers in one week.

    Nothing wrong with that - after all this is a hobby, and some people spend lots of time and money and some are just casual users.

    I agree with cinephilia and Skiz. I was able to get a ratio of 4 or better on about a dozen sites, 2TB buffer on one seeding in Australia for abotu 2 years. BMTV, What.cd etc, you don't need a seedbox at all to survive unless you're impatient and want to leech as much as possible as fast as you can.

    If Aussies can do it anyone can. No seedbox needed.

    Six66Mike, that's so true "If Aussies can do it anyone can" something really does need to be done about our shitty internet compared to the rest of the world!!
    But yes, you dont always need a seedbox UNLESS you plan on downloading A LOT any if you are out of Aus you probably have a unlimited down/up quota on your net plan so you have no worries!

    Us Aussies get speeds of like 10-28kb/s up and some lucky people here might get 1.5mb/s (for a very unfair price) and we still survive

    But feel free to contact me if you are in need of a seedbox.
