Thread: [advice] cheap, occasional use, big files, speed is irrelevant

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a seedbox but I don't want to spend a lot of money.



Occasional use, let's say, once or twice a month, but big files, 10 to 60GB.

I'd like to know if there's any plan besides monthly payments. The best would be "pay as you use", for example, a xGB account for y€ but with no time limit.

Thats Not how Seedboxes Work,
Although Usenet i think works like that..

But thats like a torrent site,
and not a offshore Box

Ur best bet would to be look at a provider that does a weekly box. Not fully what ur after but the closest thing you will find I think.

Hi,

I don't mean to jump your thread (BiLLi0) but i wanted to get a seedbox too and i wanted it just for a month.. Isnt it possible to get just for a month?

How long do you have to have it for?

@LAALLDAY

Yeah, nearly all providers do boxes on 1 month rolling contracts. Some do weekly slots aswell. Also most will offer you some discount if you purchase for more than one month at a time.

Xirvik does one week at a time one of these plans. It is quite fast and you can move quite a few gigs. I signed up for a standard plan a couple of weeks ago and was very pleased with the performance and data moved. I also only did one week at that time.

Thanks for your replies guys..

I found this Seedbox Dentoo here do you know if its any good? I dont want to pay more than $10 per month

Dentoo.info - Hosting - Offering seedboxes and seedbox solutions as well as dedicated servers for seed and torrent purposes. - Seedbox XS



or should i go with this one

I have never had one so i have got no idea what is good and what is not..

I just need it to get crazy ratio on at TL and IPT

I personally wouldnt use either of them.

The first one is torrentflux bart and its not nicest thing to be using.
But both have very low limits on the active torrents. (3)
You should still get OK ratios. But imagine if you accidently took 2 torrents that were going very slow and you were not getting even 1:1 on them. You would have to leave them and only have one slot to play with.
Even for $10 you can get a decent spec. Maybe even just take a weekly box.
I do weekly ones (I wont say them name though) for £8.50 on a gbit. Within that week you could do 1TB easy and not need to worry about the active torrent limits. Also has much more space.
So you could load up a couple of torrents, see how they go.. If they are doing good, load up a couple more.

@L2S

I haven't had it before so i am not sure if one week will be enough for me set it up and figure out how to use it but thanks for your input i will look for seedbox with more active torrents
