Thread: Seedbox or dedicated server

Hi,
I am fairly new to private trackers but I think it is a must to have a seedbox to survive in many trackers.
I am reading about seedbox in TI and many other sites. All are reselling OVH , Server.lu or leaseweb. I think I can manage to get a dedi from ova.fr ( one of my close friend is in france ).
Now I am open to your suggestions.

A seedbox is cheaper, ready to use, you don't have to configure it, so you can spend more time on it with actual torrenting instead of configuring. After learning how to use it and figuring out if the tracker really needs a seedbox or you are not statisfied with the bandwidth, you can still move on to a dedicated server.

Start off with a seedbox, and see if that satisfies you. It didnt satisfy me so I moved to a dedicated box, like most of the users here.

But make sure the seedbox is unmetered.

A seedbox is all I need at the moment ...
I upload some stuff to some trackers (not scene releases), so I always have a great ratio and pay less than I would with a dedicated server

i say go with he seedbox, servers are much much more expensive, and you might not even need all the bandwidth you get with a server.

try feral hosting, i used them a few times without problems, they also have a great mIRC support channel. very helpful staff.

hello i know the thing that u are passing throgth but i think tha u now just need a seedbox, if u want to have high up speed go to the dedicated server i u just want 20 - 30 mb/s the seedbox is fine

is cheapper and dont have any setuo fee

check out here the seedbox in the forum

I already have a seedbox and I am using it well. But all got seedboxs are around $40-50/month. I think I can pay $10-20 bucks more to avail a dedi box and I read somewhere in TI that OVH (france) are still offering unmetered bandwidth.
And Kimsufi line (with unmetered bandwidth??? ) is lot more cheaper than any seedbox available.

You can make a dedicated server a seedbox, and anything else it could be useful for. If you are paying that much for a seedbox that has under 250GB storage, you are paying too much. I suggest checking out seedbox.biz, I have not tried them, but they seem to have some pretty good plans for just seeding. You should be able to get a dedicated for $50/mth. Shop around before you make a decision, as a matter, bargain with them if you need to. :001_smile:

Definitely try a seedbox first, there's lots of benefits: Optimized, UI, cost etc.
