 |
|
Thought I would let ppl know about my new seedbox account.
I just got a new seedbox account with 1 Gbps unmetered, 20 GB hard drive space. I can only have 2 active torrents running on the seedbox.
I got it from seedbox.me for 20.00 usd / month.
Its my first seedbox so i dont know what kind of speeds to expect. I suspect pretty damn fast. This will make a HUGE improvement on my ratios for a couple of my main private tracker sites.
will keep u all updated.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I don't see how you are going to get over 20-30MB/s on only 2 torrents. Perhaps if you are in the first couple seeders, but if not...
The reason being that once the leechers with seedboxes and fast pipes have gotten the torrent, that speed won't be utilized due to the other seedbox users now seeding, and all the slow leechers who can't utilize all that bandwidth.
I have a 100mbit (10MB/s) seedbox and I've rarely ever gotten 10MB/s uploads on it. Typically I get 2-4MB/s uploads as one of the few top leechers and then early seeders.
When I upload something original, I get 10MB/s until the first or second seedbox leeching snatches it. After that, our 3x100mbit connections share in giving the leechers what they demand.
I have a friend who went with a 500GB drive and giga seedbox for a month...now that was pretty insane, as you can imagine the amount he could have going at one time. On 10-20 hot torrents, he utilized over 50MB/s |

A dedicated server on a fast network. Since such a server can seed back 1:1 easily, they have been come popular for those who are on private torrenting sites.
I started using one when I went back to Canada. I was too used to Korean speeds and being able to grab what I wanted, when I wanted. |

20GB and 2 active torrents does seem very small. I feel limited by 200GB and as many active torrents as I can fit.
I find that on my 100mbit connection here I can match a lot of the people with seedboxes. On sites such as ADC, on a popular file, I'm usually one of the top five seeders by the time the torrent is done, and one of the first finished.
Places like BitHQ are a bit harder because so many people have seedboxes, and they are all closer to each other and most of the other leechers, but I rarely have trouble maintaining a good ratio on individual torrents, and no trouble at all maintaining a good site ratio. Most of the time I jump off once I've reached 1.5 or so to give others a chance. |

Reason I went with 1Gbps unmetered connection with only 2 active torrents was just for a trial and run project.
I've had that seedbox for about 72 hours or less.. Since that time I've uploaded over 150 gigs to my private tracker.
Down speeds are nuts as are up speeds. Once a new torrent is posted i usually jump on it. although i've got it set up to automatically add the torrent, so no need to sit there on the torrent site and constantly monitor it.
I've got this seedbox for 1 month. I could go with a slower connection and have more active torrents but why would i? i can seed each torrent at 4000 kb/s easily. I usually can upload 500% of the torrent file within a 6 hr period. Its more than enough for me.
I will only use the seedbox 24/7 for the next month. No reason to renew another month when my ratio is already sky rocketing and its been less then 72hrs. hate to see what it looks like after 1 month.
I plan to just bank the ratio and use it when needed on my regular connection then after 6 months when it gets low i'll do the same thing and subscribe to another seedbox.
BTW - anyone wanting to do this needs to let their private tracker know (via irc) that your using a seedbox so that you get the credit for it.
I am sure you all want to know about speeds right?
I can download an 8 gig HD movie (1080p) in under 12 minutes. My last torrent was getting 10005kb/s download. Yes thats 10 Megabytes per second.
Seeding is anywhere from 3000 kb/s up 6000 kb/s that i've experienced so far. So it doesn't take long to sky rocket your ratio. |

Its just a trial and run thing i am doing.
My home server houses over 15 hard drives. Max space = 10 TB
And i still run out of space all the time 
I have a 100mbit connection with T-broad and I max out at 2200kb/s on my private tracker sites. its capped because i've never gotten above 2200kb/s at best.
No damn way my connection can come remotely near the 1Gbps seedbox. So I don't know how you can compete with seedboxes.
What is your connection? and how much is your monthly payment. I pay 35,000 won a month on a two year plan. Thats the fastest connection T-broad offers unless i go with their business plan which is around 100,000 a month.
I'd be interesed to hear how you are competing with seedboxes on a home connection?? |

My home connection is 100mbit and the best i can get for downloading torrents is 2.2 meg/s and uploading .3 (300kb/s) on a single torrent or combined. Even still combined i only get a max of 300 kb/s no matter how many torrents i have running.
What provider is your seedbox with? 2-4 on a 100mbit connection isnt too bad. |

I have an OVH linux based seedbox. I've customized it a bit to make it streamlined.
Your home line is a bit slow. I had an 80mbit cable plan from Hanaro and I was topping out at over 3MB/s up and usually 5MB/s down. I didn't have the massive storage that you do either. I had 1TB of torrents going at the time.
I've heard of people with 100mbit fiber lines getting over 5MB/s up consistently on torrent sites. I'd love to know if they were living net to KT or something.
I don't abuse the OVH seedbox much these days...no time to watch what I download. My best month was 9TB of traffic. My average has been 4.5TB of traffic. |

4.5 tb avg is pretty good.. i should open up my ftp to u and likewise.. we could trade stuff  |

Sounds like you have a nice setup. 
I just have a 100mbit connection from KT. Not sure what it's called now that it's been changed to QOOK or whatever. Pay about 33,000 a month.
I'm in a new building, so maybe that helps, but I hit 10MB/sec on any torrent with enough seeders. Bithq seems to have a few Koreans (no flag icon, familiar looking ip numbers) on that site, maybe even a few very close to me, and I get 2-3MB from each of them. Uploading is similar, but I usually max out at 5-6, which is plenty. Same goes for well-seeded torrents from public trackers.
Unpopular torrents are much harder though, and on those I can't compete with the seedboxes at all. After the torrent is complete I might be lucky to get 0.1 per new leecher, which makes getting to 1:1 a grind sometimes. |

You have a better advantage than me leeching stuff from 999999 cause he is in Japan. From Korea I'd always get 2-4MB/s off that guy. He runs dual 100mbit boxes and is seeding like 500 torrents at one given time.
Most of the uploaders at bithq use OVH seedboxes though, so having one has some definite perks like being at the top of the food chain when seeding back, even when grabbing late.
KT internet is the fastest IMO. When I lived in an apartment I had their 100mbit fiber line and God, just thinking back to that sweetness gives me a smile. If you are near one of the hubs/stations/HQs, the speeds are that much better as less hops though the network. |

I've been a pretty steady downloader for almost a decade now and I probably have 40 terabytes or so of books, movies, comics, games, TV shows, and music archived on hard drives and DVDs.
I've been thinking about all the time I waste downloading things, looking for new files, burning data to media, getting ratios up on websites, and all the money I've spent on hard drives, seedboxes (from time to time), and Usenet (when I don't want to bother with all the BS involved with torrent communities), and I'm now beginning to think if it's worth it.
I've probably only read/watched/played/listened to less than a 3 or 4 percent of what I've downloaded. I find that I don't have time to bother with all this digital data outside of acquiring it. The ridiculous notion that I would somehow enjoy all this stuff later on in life is becoming crazier and crazier to me.
Doesn't all this downloading stuff just get tiresome? Maybe I'm just an extreme case, but I sometimes wish I hadn't gotten into this at all. I could have spent that time and money actually improving myself in some way, acquiring new skills, taking classes, making movies, etc.
Ah well, I'm just wondering if anyone here feels the same way.
