My ultra.cc service was “upgraded” and now I am only getting download speeds of 20MB/s sustained - it goes little high but then slows down. Is anyone else also experiencing this issue? I am on the tin plan and used to get 150+MB/s before this.
I’ve opened a support ticket so let’s see but will change to another provider if this continues.
Hi, so i tried racing on RED with my ultra.cc hdd seedbox and i limited autobrr to just 3 snatches per day and i got these results. Should i continue with racing on my hdd seedbox or with these results after some time i will nuke my ratio?What do you think and thanks for all recommendations.
I am new to Seedboxes so bear with question
I am looking for a Seedbox that provides access to a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser that allows me to browse websites directly from the Seedbox .
My main use case is downloading movies through torrent websites using a torrent client such as qBittorrent on the seedbox. Once the downloads are complete, I want to transfer the files from the seedbox to my personal computer, preferably using the same torrent client or another suitable method.
I am not looking for media-server features such as Plex or Jellyfin also less than 500 GB of storage is sufficient and what is the cheapest seedbox that meets these requirements.
This thing is going to get me banned. I can't even count the amount of times it crashed this year. Sometimes i leave it for a month and i found out it barely seeded. I am otherwise ok with what it offers when it comes to speed, price and apps.
New to this stuff and saw this sub and wanted to know more.
Please limit seedbox recommendation requests to top level comments in this megathread, unless you meet one of the exceptions, which are defined here.
Please use the recommendation form for your request:
1) Are you OK with direct message offers from vendors?
NO (the default status is OPT OUT. Unless the user changes this to YES assume NO)
2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?
Answer here...
3) Are you okay with sharing hardware resources with other users [shared] or do you need the seedbox hardware dedicated to just you [dedicated]?
...
4) Do you want someone else to be responsible for maintaining the seedbox software (operating system, applications) [managed] or do you want to do it all yourself [unmanaged]?
...
5) Please describe your seedbox experience. (You may wish to list any seedbox providers you've been with before.)
...
6) Please describe your experience with Linux. (Most seedboxes run Linux and some knowledge of it may be helpful.)
...
7) What is the high end of your budget? (Please give a specific amount and a currency. "Cheap" might mean something different to one person than it does to another.)
...
8) Do you have preferences or requirements concerning payment? (Paypal, Bitcoin, etc.)

9) Do you plan to use public trackers?
...
10) What kind of connection speed do you need? (Common answers would be 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 10Gbps.)
...
11) How much combined upload and download traffic do you expect each month? Include download of files from the seedbox to your local computer. If you don't know, tell us what upload amount per month would realistically make you very happy with your seedbox.
...
12) What is the minimum disk space you need?
...
13) Do you require a specific type of mass storage? (HDD, SSD, NVMe SSD) If other than HDD, please explain why you think you need this.
...
14) Do you require a specific torrent client?
...

...
16) Do you require SSH access to the command line?

I need a seedbox that allows me to instlall docker and run my containers myself, I found appbox but seems reviews are not the best about it, so was wondering if any have some reliable recommendations
Hey everyone,
So far, I've only been a member of MyAnonaMouse (MAM) and had no issues seeding from an old laptop on a shitty Wi-Fi connection. However, I recently bought a NAS (connected via 1 Gbit LAN to my router) and want to move my setup over to it.
I plan to join more private trackers in the future and have heard that MAM is an exception due to its generous bonus point system.
My main concern is my pretty slow home internet connection:
- Download: 60 Mbit/s
- Upload: 20 Mbit/s (sometimes drops to 10 - 15 Mbit/s or goes up to 25 Mbit/s; sadly there's nothing faster available where I live)
(Speeds without VPN; I will be using Proton VPN with IPv4 Port Forwarding and IPv6 disabled since I'm in Germany and already have a Proton Unlimited subscription)
My Questions:
Will I be fine with 20 Mbit/s upload (minus VPN overhead; with IPv4 Port Forwarding) on private trackers?
Should I get a seedbox (for ratio building; and just sync completed downloads to my NAS for long-term storage)?
If I need to/should get a seedbox, what cheap options should I look into?
Is it available to use for US citizens since its servers are only on Netherlands?
How do I use seedhost.eu to seed torrents using its shared app hosting? Sorry, there aren't any useful guides or videos about it.
