Got the 700gb one that allows private and public trackers.

Codex had some issues with it.. But i have had good service and good customer support from them.

Us if you buy a year which is about 150usd you get 6 months extra.

Post by: Speakman on January 29, 2013, 11:09:33 pm: Check out Feral Hosting, they have some decent pricing, pretty good if you are looking for something reasonably low cost. They are private tracker only, but most others are as well

I get max line speed off it (prob means nothing to anyone who doesn't know my line speed... but its gooooood)

Post by: spikednet on January 30, 2013, 07:14:35 am: I would go with seedmybox.com (http://www.seedmybox.com) - They are the best bang for the buck when it comes to 1 gbps seedbox. And their VPSes give the best FTP speeds to us kiwis! :)

Post by: Codex on January 30, 2013, 07:24:46 pm: I'm using feral hosting with deluge

Works really well and is very fairly priced

Also deluge can be setup as a thin client so you don't have to use web interface, also works with transdroid: http://www.transdroid.org/

Title: Seedbox?
Post by: Codex on January 31, 2013, 08:35:49 am: Yeah I had issue with seedunlimited, instead of sorting it out he chose to close my acount, not refund me and ignore my contact so I can't really recommend them

Post by: Retardobot on January 31, 2013, 09:28:29 am: Usenet is shit, torrents are shaped, direct hosters are silly.

Is this seedbox thing the answer? Is there a guide explaining it and how to use it?

Post by: Xenolightning on January 31, 2013, 11:09:46 am: Buy one, download torrents from it, "copy and paste" things to your PC using SSH.

ISP can see the traffic, but because its encrypted have NFI what it is, they have difficulty shaping it.

IS FIST-ING THE ANSWER?

Yeah codex cant recommend seedunlimited but both myself and lias have never had issues.

Problem was codex being a nub and arguing with the guy....

Post by: Greaver on March 19, 2013, 12:02:30 pm: As codex said feral is excellent, I know there are some cheaper alternatives now but the three different boxes I have had with them were trouble free, and their service was good.

A seedbox is definitely the way to go if your connection is shaped, it worked well the week I was on slingshot (250ms aus gaming at night? suck my dick) and I was getting line speed on my VDSL connection from England.

These days I have terabytes of upload on everything bar what.cd (which is still 600gb, plenty of buffer ^_^) so I have no need anyway.

That and the netflix cometh

Post by: mattnz on March 19, 2013, 07:45:27 pm: I'm not a huuuuuuge downloader, but I went with the cheapest plan on seed.st, and it seems more than adequate, especially for ~$10pm.
