Ahh ha. That's what I thought. So, you can set up this seedbox along side your uTorrent? I see how constantly using this dedciated server approach could make insane buffered accounts and crazy ratios. And are there different speeds offered? Or are they all typically the same?

When you get the server or slot most of them let you install whatever software you want like rTorrent or Deluge. Dont forget because the seedbox is usually located overseas etc you have to access it via a WebUI or you can set up your torrent client to act as a "thin client" ie it mirrors what the seedbox is showing.

Most seedbox providers offer 100mbit and 1000mbit (1gbp) plans. Usually hard drive space is lessened if you want the quicker line.

take a look at whatbox.ca, feralhosting.com and varsbox.com for examples of reasonably cheap and easy to use seedboxes

Thanks. Yeah, I have been checking out feralhosting.com. Do you use any of those sites?

now in feralhosting i have had the 100MB speed that is for 10 euro and i have been somewhat satisfied with it, you only by a slot, also there are the dedicated servers, now how much of a difference in the speed will it be if i get the dedicated server that has 100MB connection compared to the slots with 100MB connection, like will it be a very significant different that i will notice

Dedicated servers are much faster than slots. Dont forget on your slot you are sharing the 100mbit connection with maybe 8 or 9 other people. If they are downloading and seeding a lot of torrents they will reduce your speed.

On a dedicated slot its usually just yourself and maybe one other person sharing the computer - the connection is a lot more responsive and you will often seed to your full potential

I have used all 3. If you are happy with using rTorrent whatbox.ca is the best. If you want to play around with different clients feral and vars are both good

which plan have you found better from these:

The 200gb / 5tb upload cap is good bang for buck

If you went for the smaller 100gb plan i would spend the $3 and "boost it" so you can seed a bit heavier.

The reason you cant order any of them is because they are sold out :(

Good things to know. I may buy a slot. 10 dollars isnt bad to get share 100mbps with people. Hell I wouldnt mind sharing it with 20 people.. Most people don't realize that their upload speed isnt very fast. Mine is 1.2 mbps up. I have seen others up to 2 or 3 mbps up. But, getting a spot on a server and uploading at 10+ mbps is a huge difference.

yea but the upload values vary, it is not guaranteed above 10MB, thats why you dont wanna share it with 20 people
