Well I signed up with br-hosting, it's been 2 days now and still my account is pending! How long is it supposed to take? I think it's activated as well but I just can't use it because it says the next payment date is the 29th...so I'm paying for nothing.

This sucks.

How long did TorrentSwift take to activate your account?

Well, a bit ofa mixed result from my load test last night...

I managed to seed about 15 GB to the trackers but the torrents all died sometime during the night and it looks like the majority of the seeding was not recorded on the trackers (a bit of a waste!!). The majority of the seeding was to TL and that is where the majority of the missing up is showing.

I restarted four of the torrents this AM and they have worked fine for the last 12h (and upped another 15GB). Some of my stats from today are not showing up properly with one of teh trackers so I am checking with TorrentSwift to ensure that DHT is turned off on BitTornado (client behind TorrentFlux).

End result is that my ratios are climbing nicely, just not quite as smooth a process as I might like...

torrentflux is able to up the same content to 2 different trackers?

Yep, standard cross seeding approach. Download the torrent file to PC, up to Seedbox and download content to SeedBox. Once there you download torrent file from another site to PC (making sure it is the same content referenced!!), make sure torrent file name is unique, up to Seedbox and start second torrent (checks hash and starts seeding).

Great when you have a smaller HDD on your seedbox (like me...). Given phenominal seedbox download speeds you can be cross seeding a 350MB TV show to a second site in under a minute (early into the second swarm with no download - pure upload!!)

Got into a swarm yesterday and had throttled my download to 1500kBps (to stay in the swarm longer) and during the download I actually hit a point where my torrent total upload exceeded my download (had sustained uploading faster than my downloading - very impressed).

Who says $10USD doesn't buy much these days!! Only problem is I have been using my seedbox for 3 days and have used up one third of my monthly bandwidth... Going to have to focus on seeding my key trackers that really need the ratio boost with my last 100GB of bandwidth (no more experiments)

I agree. I have Seedhost.eu as well and I cannot be happier. I got a 110GB HDD, 4 active torrents and UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH which is just great. It runs about $35 a month but is so worth it if you're serious about torrenting. I get up to 11MB downloading and about 4-5MB uploading. After trying several seedbox services and setting up my own dedicated server for seedbox, I settled for Seedhost.eu which gives me everything I need and great speeds.

Peaking at > 2400kBps with Entourage on TL tonight (just one tracker!!)!! Managed to seed back the whole episode to BitMeTV in just over a minute (gotta hit the swarm quick...). I love my seedbox!!

I find leaseweb to be among the best options when it comes to price/quality/hd space. their cheapest servers only have 2tb of bandwidth per, but that is quite a lot for even two trackers.

the best there is OVH
why do you think they have resellers
cheepest + fastest
when you go to a reseller you are paying the ovh price + the resellers price

The difference is that the resellers slice & dice to meet client requirements (eg my $10USD seedbox that meets my needs vs the smallest OVH offering...). They find the other clients to split the resources so I dont have to!! Until I sign up with the T-I seedbox that is!
