Hi, can anyone reccomend me a cheap dedicated ip seedbox? I used shared ip seedboxes a lot of time but these days some Chinese trackers dont allow them. I searched some but all dedicateds are so expensive. Any suggestions?

@jagten what's ur budget and what's ur demands I mean with respect to disk space and bandwidth :)
I dont want to pay much since i alreayd have a big and 20 gbps seedbox i use. I need this dedicated to buffer 2 chinese tracker so not very very fast speeds and i think 200-250gb of hdd is enough for that.Quote:

Just I was thinking is it Ok to buy dedicated vps server and transloading rutorrent/transmission script that may give comfort to ur pocket to some extent :)
Uhh these things are too complicated for an old man like me :vollkommenauf:
I got a dedicated Server with an 8 core atom processor, 8 gb ram and 1 TB space on 1 GBPS Unlimited from oneprovider.com Setup time was roughly a day but it's only 15 euro or around $16.40 USD a month:)
Edit: You'd need knowledge to admin a linux box to setup the seedbox as it only comes with a bare operating system but I am happy to help a fellow member!
Is there is difference between dedicated seedbox and dedicated ip seedbox
Have a look at the KS-1 from Kimsufi, I've been using one for years. It's around 5 USD/month and comes with a 500GB HDD and a 100 Mbps connection with no bandwidth limits. It also has dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It's no frills, and you'll want to be comfortable with Linux, but I've been very happy with its performance for the price.Quote:

Aurodl-irssi can be installed easily? Or need to know coding?Quote:

The storage vps start at 4.99 euro and their other vps start at 1.99 euro for linux and 9.99 euro with windows
Autodl-irssi can be installed fairly easily, you won't need to know coding per-se, but you will need to know how to configure a Linux machine. This includes installing packages, writing config files, navigating directories, etc. Usually this is done from the command-line not a point and click GUI.Quote:

I can vouch for this. I have installed seedbox from scratch on a kimsufi and it works perfectly...rtorrent, autodl-irssi, openvpn the whole shaving.Quote:

@masonos how hard would it be for someone to do that setup (without knowledge)
The instructions are pretty straight forward. But sometimes sh*t happens so you will need at least some basic linux commands to fix any problemsQuote:

Have you guys tried this?
https://quickbox.io/
nope. So can I possibly ask for someones assitance if I buy a kimsufi server. I want to buy the 7$ one and have utorrent/vpn/ftp on it. Would that be a hard achievement
I'm still looking for this. Found this; https://superseeder.eu/cart.php?gid=27 for 17 $ per month but still couldn't decide, worried about their speed.
@jagten That server seems fine if you're just planning on using it as a seedbox -- it has more horespower than the KS-1 that I was discussing in a previous post. What part of the speed were you concerned about, network, CPU, HDD?
would anyone be whilling to help me step by step once i get a kimi server? To help me set it up as a box. My brain injury took away my years of knowledge
I meant upload speed bro, thanks for considering.Quote:

That's pretty fast, you probably won't have much problem with upload bandwidth. My best advice for you is to focus on being one of the first members of the swarm using something like autodl-irssi or flexget with an irc tie in. The earliest members of the swarm tend to get the most upload opportunities in my experience.Quote:

I want to get a server and turn it into a seedbox with open vpn/vnc/rutorrent/ftp access and security of my identity
Kimsufi supports lots of linux distributions, they list them on their website:Quote:

Quickbox.io does offer install services. Just read their website, they list their offerings under the Marketplace menu.
my question is, how secure will it be since I know nothing at all about linux. Would I be better to get a seed box and on the side get a kim server and learn? Before I do any seeding. To protect myself
If you're looking to learn linux then I'd say what's probably the best way for you would be to buy nothing and instead install virtualbox on your machine and work with linux in a VM. There's no reason for you to have to have a server in a data center to learn what you're doing. A small linux VM won't require many resources and you can keep wiping it and starting over if you mess things up.Quote:
