Thread: Seedbox suggestion

So, what I am looking for is a seedbox in which I can manage user accounts since we will be 4-6 friends using the same seedbox, its gonna be a great mess of each others torrents if we all use the same seedbox account.

Moreover, I 100Mbit speed is gonna be low for 6 people, so I was looking for 1Gbit or anything over 100Mbit, hard drive space isnt much of a issue, even 200-500gb is enough for me.

I looked at this https://www.seedunlimited.com/



the 1tb and 1gbit seedbox for 65$, but it has the same issue of no seperate user accounts, so it will be a mess.

I am sure there are others, but the only one I know of off the top of my head is seedboxhosting. From their page-

Looking to get a seedbox for free? Well, not exactly - but unique to SeedboxHosting is the ability to add new users (create TorrentFlux sub-accounts) for family or friends, to help split up the cost of the seedbox. All new users created by you will receive their own specific login details, including an FTP account. More importantly, you'll also be able to set up customized disk quotas for your new users, and limit each one to certain resources on the server. SeedboxHosting's new Leaseweb Pro seedbox comes with a generous 1 TB hard drive; making it ideal for multiple users. For example, you can create 4 sub-accounts and give each of them access to 200 GB of storage, and still keep storage for yourself. Want to limit the number of active torrents for each? You can do that (and should) as well.

Looks like their quad runs $117 though with a 100mbit line.

As you have planned for 6 users, I would suggest you find yourself a dedicated server and install the seedbox application.

I'm not sure how seedunlimited is going to provide your seedbox, but you should try asking whether they provide SSH access. If that's possible, then at least it will be possible for you to setup multi-user account yourself.

Speaking from my mind, $64.95 is for Unlimited 1Gbit bandwidth is too good to be true, do take note the bandwidth is shared and not dedicated.

4 people on 100 mbs is more or less ok, I wouldn't disregard this option entirely.

Hi alpharoxio, i would suggest you contact Xirvik and ask them if it's possible to create multiple accounts for you in the same dedicated server.

Get a dedicated server with SSH access and you can setup as many accounts as you want. You will however need to learn how to do this as it takes time and patience :)

My advise is contact MikeD about this. he'll be a great help really. he has indepth knowledge about these things.

Agree with others that you are going to need a dedicated server. I am assuming you are splitting the cost, getting a dedicated server can be far cheaper than just a seedbox.

I am currently using a seedbox from seedunlimited.com and I am not impressed at this time. However I have seen a few who would disagree with me, although it comes down to personal experiences.

I have previously used both superseedbox.com and feralhosting.com for my seed box needs.

Feral is a bit more expensive however there service is top notch (last month with the seedbox i have through them I uploaded over 6TBs)

Super was the first company I used for a seedbox and although I didn't get one of the higher slots I did rather well, also they too have great service in my opinion. Here are the links to these two companies.

Feral Hosting

Managed Dedicated Server, Windows Dedicated Server, Cheap Dedicated Server, Dedicated Linux Server

Good luck deciding on which company you ultimately go with. Would be interested in knowing who you chose as well as a review of their services if you can. Planning on looking into a dedicated server myself when I return to work and can actually afford one.
