Thread: Seedbox setup need help!

Ok, so i searched google and couldnt figure out an answer.
I looked through the forum and maybe it's just me who is too noobie but
i still couldnt find what i'm looking for imo ..

Anyways

I bought a seedbox two days ago and i'm totally stuck on what to do..

https://pixocon.eu/Seedboxes/ (It's the Pixobox500)

I received login information containing a domian and username/password
but from here i'm stuck on what to do.
This is the first time i try playing around with seedboxes so excuse me if this is just bullshit.

On the site when i log in under "details" on the seedbox. It says"Status: Pending"



I guess its just me being a noob but hopefully someone is able to help me on what to do next to set it up.

So, when you go to the domain in your browser, does it ask you for a username and password??

I have a couple of boxes and you have your sign up info. Log in using your info that was sent to you. Then you need to use a ftp client , ie cuteftp and this is where your downloads go. You need to use your info that was sent to you. Im probably not explaining it very well, if you are still confused i will try again

No it says the domain doesn't exsist

Well using the details you have been given you should be able to log into your seedbox, for example one of mine is transmission. [ this is the seedbox torrent front] Then you download your torrent as normal and then add it to your seedbox through this torrent front, ie transmission, etc. It is downloading to a ftp client, mine is cuteftp. You can get versions elsewhere. Then using your ftp client you should be able to set it up so that you are in your seedbox. Then transfer from your box to your computer. If you still cant follow, i suggest a quick google search, or even a youtube guide. I havent heard of your seedbox supplier before, mayby try contacting them for more detiled instructions if you are stuck. I wonder what there live support is like?

Hope you work it out and get it up and running, it was confusing for me at first as well but once you get it going there is nothing to it,
good luck

I found this video : YouTube - How to use seedbox

I hope it will help you :)

Thanks for a really helpful answer

However now im trying to connect to the seedbox on FTP
using filezilla. But there's no port number provided in any of the mail's or under the details about my seedbox..

This is seriously starting to annoy me, and there's just no help guide on the providers webpage..

Is there any default port number for this?

Umm im not sure. To be totally honest , i dont really like the look of the seedbox provider you are with. I would suggest you try and get in contact with someone on their page although i had a quick look there and cant see any live chat/ support option even though it says there is.
I had a quick look through my 2 seedboxes activation emails and both come like this
