Hi guys,
Sorry I'm a little new to torrenting and all the technical stuff that comes with it. But a friend of mine offered me a server from OVH and said I could use it as a seedbox. I have no idea how I would do that. Is it even possible? Are there any guides online that explain how to set up a seedbox? He told me to google it (lol) but I can't find anything simple and it all seems super hard.
Thanks for any help! =)
Just get a normal seedbox to save you the trouble, also I heard that ovh sometimes throttle torrents..not sure though.
yes, there are a few guides out there .
quite alot of them geared towards ovh servers and how to turn them into a seedbox via various scripts.
i would hit google, and there are a quite a few youtube videos as well.
i would point you to the one i used but it didnt quite come out flawless and i had to do some tweaking and scripting on my end to get it up and working.
basic knowledge of command line is a great asset.
i havent seen a lot of throttling on my end. but a lot of private trackers use ovh and leaseweb in their peering. so, its mehQuote:

Setting up a seedbox depends on your server's OS (likely a Linux distro). http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+make+your+own+seedbox
You have a nice friend! I recently setup my seedbox using this guide:
http://transmissionseedbox.blogspot....tos-6.html?m=1
I used the script in the last part of the comment section. Hope this helps.
yes I can confirm that. I use couple of dedis. Clients I used are transmission and rutorrents. They let you use upto 100Mbit/sec. But there are no 1Gbps plans available.Quote:

soyoustart is a gbit downlink, however, uplink is capped to 250mbit.Quote:

You can set up a seedbox on OVH with no problem.
You can get warning if you exceed hundreds of Gb in few days but that's very rare...
Haven't received that. And I'm doing almost 3tb a day

Many peoples say OVH doesn't fit for seedbox..
But i don't know i've never try..
Just buy a seedbox reguler, i'm never face trouble..
I would take a look at kimsufi.com. It's a OVH company but you have cheaper dedicated servers. They are pretty difficult to get because a lot of people want them, but if you are patient you can find a ks-1 or ks-2. Depending on your requirements they can be the right choice.
What do you finally choose @lilia?
yes, a good starter is kimsufi, only trouble is, its 100mbit. unless u are on small sites, 100mbit link wont cut it on the bigger general sites, like scc for example.Quote:

ovh, is more pricey, not gonna lie, but for an older server, there is no setup fee and u get a 1gbit pipe with 500mbit out, u could pay an extra 50 a month for a truely 1gbit, thats up to u.
OVH is fine guys ;) Just install the script and get going. Btw I never had any throttling when I used OVH
a good script here

I've used Kimsufi, OVH and soyoucan all OVH clones and they are great!
another good script for DEBIAN 7 x64 .... other distros are NOT tested and might not work

Well it all depends on what OS you want to really work with. I personally prefer Ubuntu OS (light on resources and free ;) ) with rtorrent/rutorrent install.
This is pretty much a copy and paste job for rtorrent/rutorrent:

If you want to try this and get stuck just shoot me a message I would be more then happy to help you out.
I can install windows as the operating system if you want like windows 2008 server or 2012 server or even windows 7 or 8 all with Remote Desktop
i have question didn't want to open another topic
will this http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-serv...014-FS-30T.xml work well for torrenting and can i install raid 0 on it .
im not good around servers in general .
Yes that will work but if all your doing is downloading and uploading as a regular user then I would say this server is over kill for you. How ever if you are planing on doing some racing or major uploading to sites then yea this would be a good server. I actually have the FS-48T server myself. You can raid0 it in your ovh control manager just after you get your server go in and re install your OS and select your partitions (little drunk but think this is the correct word lol ).
@DirtyCrackPipe
Thank you for your replay i will consider this server , after i finish my old one with oneprovider :thumpdown:
http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-serv...014-FS-48T.xml
