I use ultra.cc and it's fine and one of the cheaper ones I found at the time, no idea if that's still true but I figure the fact that I'm still using it years later with no real problems should tell you something at least.

What do the limits refer to? Is it 1 Tb of data per month I can download, or just what is stored in the seedbox itself?

Am noob

Just storage at any given point in time, it's the disk space you have to manage. You can download far more than that in a month, you just have to seed it long enough to meet whatever requirement the tracker has then you can delete it to free room for more stuff, or you can just leave it seeding forever, bandwidth is unlimited as far as I know.

Are we allowed to recommend a specific service? Glancing over the rules, it seems that yes, but I just want to make sure.

[–] Dreamless4561@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't seem to say anything against that

[–] blanka@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So I've been using ultra.cc for over a year and I have only good things to say about it

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Rapid Seedbox's Basic tier is $5 per month for 500gb of storage, max 10gbps speed, and no limits on traffic.

I heard a lot of complaints about rapid seedbox. Have you used it by any chance? If so, how is your experience with it.

I've used rapidseedbox for a while now, my experience has overall been pretty good. I had the 1TB plan for around 8 or 9 usd a month, then I switched to annual to get a deal and recently I upgraded to 2TB. They give you 3 torrent applications on those cheap plans, I use rutorrent after testing all 3 and that works fine for me. I use filezilla to get the files to my PC after.

I had one issue where those downloads to my PC got slow for a while, kind of randomly. I chatted their support (it's one of those chat bubbles at the bottom of their page when you're logged in). They had me switch from either sFTP to FTPs or the other way around (can't remember) and then it was back to normal.

Early on, I had gotten a torrent for a very popular Linux iso that just dropped from a public site, so I accidentally let it seed many, many times over. I want to say that months upload was something like >10tb, at that point the website does complain. It's been a while so I don't remember the exact message but I set up a rule to stop after something like 8x upload and now it's fine.

Overall, decent service for me, relatively fast and cheap, the support was good the two times I used it (though a little slow, but you don't have to stay on the website waiting, it emails you when they respond).

Edit: there are 4, not 3.

Thanks for sharing. Also have you ever tried transferring files using rsync. How were the speeds for you?

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

No, I don't think I have that as an option on the cheaper plans. They have two tiers that they call lean and premium. Premium let's you do all kinds of things, like hosting jellyfin and plex right from the seedbox, using the 'arrs, things like that. Those are fairly expensive for any meaningful amount of storage.

I have one of the lean plans. This is all you get with it:

[–] Dreamless4561@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I used it for a bit in the past and I didn’t have any complaints with it. It worked well and it’s affordable

[–] gajahmada@awful.systems 1 points 1 week ago

From your post if you just want to permaseed either one from the recs is probably fine.

I've used rapidseedbox and ultra.cc in the past, (one months each) and that's just because my server at home is down in the meantime.

Idk how much automation you need and what can they provide though since I just manually load them when I use it.

My recollection of rapid is nice, they have pre-installed tools like SFTP and your choice of torrent client.

I always suggest https://www.seedhost.eu/shared-app-hosting/

Though it looks like the lower end ones are out of stock right now. Worth keeping an eye on.
