Thread: Group-buying seedboxes possibilities

So my friend just asked me if it is possible to get some good deal on seedboxes by the method of group-buying.

The problem is, the seedbox providers I've used or used to be interested at generally offers individual-buying only.

The only provider that offers "make an offer" feature is pulsedmedia (you can find it on their official site).



Does anybody know this kind of services?

If seedboxes are not applicable, VPS would also be okay but in their TOS, it is better not to ban P2P

(limited is better than nothing).

Cheers everybody.

I think what you'd want is a dedicated server possibly managed by the seedbox provider. Pulsed Media offers it under "Personal Server" on their page.

It is a interesting idea and something I may implement for my seedbox plans. As for VPS I would stay away from them if you plan on using them as boxes. the vast majority of VPS providers are not going to appreciate the large IO load and bandwidth usage you will take.

Generally you would need one person to administrate it. So they would pay the seedbox provider, divide the box into slots, and collect the money off of the other people using the box, (disable them if they don't pay up).

As per Seedking's post you would need to make sure this does not violate the agreement with the provider, which it wouldn't for dedicated servers.

Hi ,

I represent seedmonster.net here and i may offer you some good package for a group seedbox use,

you'll need to mail me at support@seedmonster.net with further details like how many people will be using it and what kind of config you need and details you think are important to be known.

Thank you.

I had purchased a dedicated server about a year ago and shared it with 2 friends. Everyone just gave me their part of the "rent" and I paid with my credit/debit card to the seedbox provider. They never had any issues with multiple IP's connecting or using the service.
