Thread: Seed.ST - 100GB from $2/w OR $6/m - 100mbit to 10GBIT SSD - instant setup

Login
You can login and also see more plans and availability at https://www.seed.st. You may login immediately after you pay.

Solid State Drives
Many of our plans utilize SSD's (solid-state drives) instead of traditional hard drives, that is why the space offered for the money can be relatively low compared to some sites. SSD's have SIGNIFICANTLY higher throughput and random read/write speeds than normal hard disks. At any company offering seedbox services on standard hard drives at 1gbit, you can expect to see a maximum of 50MB/s download and 20-50MB/s upload (usually much lower), shared between all the users on the server. At Seed.ST the maximums are 112MB/s download and upload on 1gbit and 540MB/s download and upload on 10gbit.

All servers include
Instant automatic setup
Hosted at OVH France datacenter
Unlimited Upload/Download speed, no caps.
Unlimited active torrents
ruTorrent web interface with all plugins (RSS downloader, ratio manager, create torrent, etc.)
FTP/FXP (SSL/TLS and unencrypted) access.
SSH access is not allowed.
Public Trackers (thepiratebay, etc) not allowed.
autodl-irssi plugin (not available on 100mbps plans)

Setup and Disk Space Quotas
Setup is instant and automatic, after you subscribe via paypal it will immediately take you to the login page for your ruTorrent. If you go over your disk space quota (the amount of disk space your plan has) your download speed will be limited to 1kb/s, your torrents will not be stopped and your upload will continue to run normally. Once you delete some files the download speed will be restored automatically within a few seconds.

You provide only SSD plans for now?

Yep, sorry, I've offered standard hard drive plans, hybrid plans, and hybrid SSD-caching plans (ZFS L2ARC, Adaptec maxCache RAID) in the past and I've found that the only way to consistently guarantee good service on high-bandwidth connections is SSD-only.

I will be offering 10gbps servers later in the year as well and the only thing you can use for those is SSD's.

Most likely, I will increase the space offered on these plans later once the servers are at capacity as well. (probably 60 or 75GB maximum) But right now I need to establish a baseline for real-world usage.

Ok fair enough. Do you accept customized orders? For example, instead of 50 GB for 25$, something like 100 GB for 50$. Also, the SSH access is user restricted or you give root privileges as well? I'm asking coz i'm looking for OVH VPS-like slices with the ability to install custom software like vpn, vncserver etc.

I can definitely do larger sizes for more money, but I can't do VPS's like you need. The shell account would not be a superuser account it would be your regular user account without root privileges.

I'd suggest OVH vps'es - they've just had a refresh and they are offering more bang for your buck and no setup fees.

Other good vps providers are vps.net and linode.com, I use them both personally.

I have developed a JSON API for Seed.ST, for more advanced users.

Here's a little documentation about it:
All JSON results have a "success" key which will be true or false.


To get your API KEY go here:
https://www.seed.st/api/getkey/<username>?password=<password>


There are only two API functions right now (bold are returned keys):
https://www.seed.st/api/<apikey>/getspeed - returns your up and down speed for all torrents on your account.
https://www.seed.st/api/<apikey>/getspeed?hash=<infohash> - returns your up and down speed for torrent with the specified info hash (on ST you can find info hash on the torrent details page).


https://www.seed.st/api/<apikey>/addtorrent?url=<torrentURL> - attempts to add a torrent to your seedbox at the specified URL. It will be successful if an ATTEMPT is successfully made. If the URL or torrent file are invalid the API will not tell you.


Please give me more suggestions on ways to integrate with ST, and more API function suggestions.

Additionally, if you have a SuperTorrents account, you can link your seedbox to ST to add a 'download to seedbox' icon on the browse page, as well as other future integrations.

Using and for now it's ok, will report later :D

Got max. ~60MB/sec of DL and ~35MB/sec of upload, it's ok but could be better.
Main problem is small disk space, can't get on to bigger torrents ;)
