murakami, would you know how to view the total space used by an account? only have rutorrent's % meter, and that's not kinda accurate lol. Whatbox tho has a nice space indicator on their manage page lol

A lot of providers only have that ruTorrent meter I've found. Not sure why you don't think it's accurate though?

Yea no idea sorry. I'm fine with the percentage. But if it's a problem then seriously ask them to install one of the managers that they use at the other places or like a file manager which gives you a proper analysis. They will do it.

Using seedroots.

Great speeds so far.

Anyone wanting to share a seedbox? I have no knowledge on them, linux or torrents

Get a trial deal galent. 48 hours for free or $2. That way you can see how it works. It's very easy to use.

Oh excellent could you suggest a free one? I have no idea where to start.

Would be keen Galent, easynews is pretty shit tbh. No idea either though.

http://seedstuff.ca/trial.php for $5
http://www.xirvik.com/3daypromo/ 1 buck for 3 days.
http://pulsedmedia.com/rtorrent-sem...ox-2009plus.php = cheap starter deal. 11 nzd for a month.
Seed.ST has cheap weekly deals. Though you'll want to move to something different after that time.

Good spreadsheet with most of the pricing: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...rowsperpage=250

Just out of interest, once you have a seedbox how do you get on a good private tracker?

I can't really go in to detail without breaking some of the key forum rules. Suffice to say that there are forums in places like this or in semi-private trackers where you can request invites (After showing screenshots of your ratio). There are certain private sites that are easy to get into as well. They are good for starting out.

http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers is a good subreddit to look at.

IRC channels are always a good place to find people who have the best information for this question.

I presume most of these ratio requirements are 1:1? That's gonna hurt bandwidth.

0.4 is common.

Oh, that's not too bad, I usually end up doing that anyway.

I guess ratios and such wouldn't be that big of a deal on a seedbox anyway as the server connection does the uploads and not the client, right?

Generally doesn't matter how much bandwidth you're using with a seedbox, as long as it's not over a terabyte. Some sites no longer have ratio requirements and instead do it by time. For example: 24hrs for one, 1 weeks for a pack.

That's generally what a seedbox is for, yep.

Yeah BTN does this. Would be well keen to get on their 0day site but I don't know anyone and invites are waaaaay too expensive to pay for.

What is wrong with seed.st? I've been using them for months with no problems. Cheapest seedboxes that I've found too.

Cheers mate, just having a read through the sub reddit now.

Schumn and Galent I can give you free trial of how mine works. I have a post page 8 with a good write up I think.

Otherwise just PM me.

Just wondering, do you guys provide the actual personal info when signing up to the seedbox service?
