How about this one: http://www.seednet.eu/

Anyone have any experience with it? Cheapest plan 10 pounds a month, seems reasonable..

What should I get if I want to pay max 10 euros per month? Basically just gunna use it for moderate downloading and seeding (and transfering to my own PC through FTP), since my own connection as a shit upload speed...

I just did a quick Google and found this https://baconseed.org/slots

I have never heard of them so they may be just new, for 10euros you wont get that much and chances are you will be sharing the hdd and connection with other user's which can slow things down a lot
If this is your first box it may not be that bad to use as a learning curve and then maybe upgrade to something better
It's a good idea to get something small to learn about seedboxes, they are rather easy to use afterall

There are many provider's out there and a few scammer's, so be careful and always ask in forums about provider's here or from friends

Good luck on your journey into the world of seedboxes............there is no turning back :-P

baconseed are legit, they resell OVH/Kimsufi.

Checking in after signing up with Feral Hosting. Pretty impressed so far, though I see people complaining about the new metered plans which is a fair argument. They still do their older unmetered plans with the same storage but slower links. I'm kinda wishing I grabbed an older slot while they're still going, I'm happy to suck down on a slower link if I can push more out (including pulling stuff down locally).

Grabbed the Helium plan myself, though I might upgrade or move somewhere else in a month or 2. I've only had it half a day, but no complaints thus far

For cheap dedicated server i can fully recommend Kimsufi

The 2g is extremely cheap for what it is, the 16g and 24g are also good and have the added advantage that if you are lucky you might end up on a gigabit line instead of the stated 100mbit. I know the specs only state 100mbit but its happened to others so many times now its not just a mistake/1 off.

If you use it on this site... The stuff you're seeding has very little to no leechers and are quite well seeded. That would be the problem.

I've been reading up on seedboxes for the past few weeks, especially here on TBy... Tried feralhosting and seedst was quite dissapointed because they both use ovh as a server host. few days ago i came across a post on SCC seedbox thread, where some guy had just bought a seedbox VPS ( a vps, not a share slot like the others!!) from http://seedvps.com, the speeds were amazing. and they are hosted in the netherlands, which is pretty decent. will post some of the screenshots for u guys to see,

Hows the security on seedboxes?

Do they log what I download, and seed?
Do they store my home IP?

What info will the cops get if i rent a seedbox, and it gets raided?

Also is www.xirvik.com any good?

I'm  totally noob to seedboxes, but I just purchased one recently and have to ask.

Is there anything that I have to do to use it here?
I know on another site I go to they ask to link it to your account.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything about it. I seen the FAQ:
"I've got a seedbox, should I notify someone?
No. This does not change anything at our end, so we are not interested".

I just don't want to get banned because of using a seedbox on my account without know if I need to "link" or not to my account.

Sorry if this is a noob question.

do what i do and put in your profile that you are using a seedbox

ie: using 1Gbit seedbox from feral hosting,

so that when and if staff notice that your upload amount has been increasing a lot of late that they will see that you are using a seedbox and if necessary you can send them the ip of the box

Hi,

Thinking about buying a seedbox account as i am moving to states and am shit scared of FBI raiding my house for downloading torrents.

Only 1 question: Is it safe? Can it be tracked by authorities?
Thanks in advance.

FBI lol

IS it safe? no.

Can it be tracked? Yes.

You have to pay somehow, that always comes back to you, even Bitcoin has proved to be traceable, although the chances of them trying that to see if you downloaded some film is tiny.

Nothing is 100% safe. However seedboxes do put an extra layer in place, a bit like using a private site like this, but there will no doubt be authorities here even, just less than are watching piratebay and the likes. If you want to be 100% safe, dont pirate/torrent.

Bit of a noob here, and this might be an obvious/dumb question...

When purchasing a server/seedbox should I purchase one outside of the US? I'll probably go with leaseweb since they seem to be highly praised around here.

If anyone is interested in cheap 1gbps seedboxes PM me for more details. (no advertising intended, just want to cut down my price of a dedi).

Got a seedbox that's doing ~8 MB/s on public trackers but can't seem to break 300 KB/s peak on private trackers.
Some kind of throttling or something?

I've tried multiple torrents and even compared to my other seedboxes it's doing a fraction of the speed even on the same torrents.

Never seen anything like this before.

edit:
Client is Transmission 2.77.
