Thread: Help me choose a great seedox at a right price

Hello all,

I actually have a seedbox since 8 months at Whatbox.ca but now it not working well, not answer from support and i can't use it properly...
I'm so disappointed and want to change.



I'm in France, and due to the law, can't have a local server, so i want an international seedbox or VPS (not in Germany @ Leaseweb, clamped by my ISP).

What i want :

50-100Gb storage, not more
Unlimited traffic/bandwith (100mb line or more) and unlimited active torrents
No clamp of traffic
Https/Sftp and optionnal root access
VPN service optionnal
Active support team
5-6 users max/server (depending on the power of the server of course)
Dedicated Ip/Bandwith if possible
Not located in France or Germany@Leaseweb
Public trackers and any content allowed
Max Cost : $20-$25

What i've tested and no satisfied : SeedboxServers.net, Feral Hosting, SeedMonster, Pulsed Media, Xirvik, Santrex, UltratechHost, Bytesized-Hosting and others more.

Can you help me please? I'm boring now...

Thanks

PS : Sorry for my bad english :s

Your ISP is blocking all IPs from Servers from Leaseweb? Seriously? That's just insanely crazy.
Do you also can't use the EvoSwich DC in Amsterdam (Netherlands), because it's also hosted by Leaseweb.

As French citizen comes as first option OVH in mind.
Their French Kimsufi 2Gs cost about 18€ (TTC!) and you get unlimited traffic with a DEDICATED 100mbits line which equals 12.5MB/s.
That's the best 'bang for a buck' you can get and because you live in France the FTP speed will be excellent as well.
It's a dedicated server which means that you, of course, have full root access, but on the other hand you should be familiar with Linux and server security in general.

I didn't really understand if you can use Dutch servers from Leaseweb and what about other French Datacenters.

Other options would be BoxSlots.com which fit your price requirement because most of the others use Leaseweb servers!

I don't know if the problem is my ISP or Leaseweb, but i just can tell you the speeds are clamped between my ISP in France and Leaseweb in Germany (Netherland works fine and Hetzner in Germany too). Same problem on the evening on Youtube and others streaming video's sites.

And yes, OVH in France is really a great offer, but due to the law, can't use it for a seedbox usage...

BoxSlots.com seems to be good, juste a little expensive but if it works fine it's ok.

Whatbox is one of the best providers o.0 You tried the irc support?
https://my.bigsb.net/ is nice, servers in luxemburg.

If Leaseweb in the Netherlands is ok you should try EvoBoxes, UltraSeedbox and Fibrenetworks.

I don't really understand why you can't use OVH, because I know a lot of French people that use OVH servers for torrenting.

Yes i tried the IRC, they just tell me it is shared so it is usual that rutorrent run at 100% without any torrent (yes it is that with nothing running!). I've opened a ticket and just have a reponse now (more than 24h after), change to another slot are another plan. I don't know what doing, renew in 4 days.

I'm aware of it: such a cute name for such a horrible thing, but still better than getting sued for 1000's $.

I have never heard that OVH gives aways personal info the only thing they can do is to ban you from their services, if you are paranoid you can also use a logless VPN to access it, because 18€ for 1TB of storage at 100mbits dedicated can't be beaten, especially if you can get it from OVH directly.

I don't want to take any risk with a French server.

Magister--you may not know this but the French anti-piracy laws are hardcore. If I was from France there is no way I'd use a French seedbox.
