Thread: Some questions about seedboxes

Hi!



Please forgive my dumb, n00bish questions. I have several doubts regarding seedboxes and I was hoping someone can provide me with an answer.

1 - I see many seedboxes come with "rutorrent", which I believe is a torrent client I could manage using my web browser. What happens with trackers that only accept, for example, "utorrent"? I am very interested in using the seedbox especially for AsiaTorrents.com - Asian Movies, Music, TV Drama, Torrent Download Asia Torrents, and it would kill me if this "rutorrent" does not make my ratio go up, or directly does not work. (I believe this tracker only accepts utorrent.

2 - What about emule? is there a seedbox that lets me use emule, or directly lets me connect to it like if it was a remote desktop and install emule and open a few ports so emule works well? is "openVPN" for example a program to use remote desktop?

3 - The idea is to use the seedbox to download, and seed, and use ftp to directly download the stuff I want from seedbox to my computer, right? Will the speed I can transfer stuff to my pc be good? And with good, I mean the limit of my line, which right now it's like 1,5 Mb/s

4 - If "rutorrent" works well with utorrent-only trackers, and I can install emule, would you please recommend me a seedbox that would be the best solution for me?

Thanks!

I'll try to answer some of the questions.

1)As far as i know almost all trackers(public or private) supports rutorrent.I do seed a bit at asiatorrents and i assure you that rutorrent works.

2)Seedbox and emule is different.Better to use seedbox anyway nowadays.

3)Downloads from the seedbox to your pc will usually be fast as they use very fast connections(100mbps-10gbit)so i'm sure you have no problems maxing out your connection(usually).You can always request trial accounts to test it out first to be certain.

4)Rutorrent is just gui for rtorrent and it looks similar to utorrent and that's it.Try to think utorrent as a seperate program.Which seedbox will probably depends on your budget.I'm sure fellow forumers will guide you on that.Currently using Xirvik which had never failed me so far.

Thank you!

I know seedbox is diffrent than emule, but I do want both optiones if possible. There's lots and lots of stuff I can get with emule, that I can't with torrent, especially old stuff.

Anyone has rented a service that allow him to download both from emule and bittorrent?

There are two issues with finding a seedbox with e-mule on it. E-mule requires windows OS, so it will cost you more than an ruTorrent only seedbox, and most seedbox companys will not put P2P software on their shared boxes. What you really need is a dedicated server where you can either install e-mule yourself or have them install it for you.

eMule can run on Linux too, not just Windows because there are eMules which runs on command line and as a daemon, then using the Web Server as the client for that daemon. It is a similar setup of ruTorrent + rTorrent.

An example of eMule client that I know is aMule.org
