Good evening, I have built a seedbox DAS with an old pc case and older various hdd's, SAS HBA ect. https://www.serverbuilds.net/16-bay-das Created a pool. Good so far.

As I understand hard links will cause heavy torrent I/O. So decided to go secondary 'none' and let it copy and paste.

Using Deluge/Radarr/Sonarr and having trouble figuring the mappings. I have created a pool (seedboxpool) and share (seedbox). In deluge (which is only used for this seedbox) I have:

Name: Path: /data

Container Path: /seedbox

Host Path: /mnt/user/seedbox/

What I'm not sure of is changing my Radarr/Sonarr mappings. Currently they are hardlinked as are all other dockers.

Name: Data

Container Path: /data/

Host Path: /mnt/user/data/

Do I add a second container/host path? Kinda stuck. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to move some of my torrents from my seedbox to my local server and wanted to check if there is anything I should be aware of before proceeding.

Also, will the existing torrent stats, such as upload/download amounts, ratio, and seeding time, be preserved after the migration?

Hi everyone, do u know how to create torrent for private tracker and upload it on ultra.cc seedbox? I try to use Filezilla but the link doesn't work. Currently I using qbittorent v.5.2.3 (BETA). Please help me. Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I moved some years ago from Europe to Canada, and had Seedhost change my country of residence this year in my dashboard. I was expecting to not pay VAT, but my invoice is the same as previous year. The only difference is the line with the VAT amount was removed, but that doesn’t change the end result.

The old invoices were:

Sub-total X €

VAT Y €

Total X+Y €

New invoice is:

Sub-total X+Y €

Total X+Y €

Is this normal? It doesn’t seem like it is.

Looking for a small 1 or 2tb seedbox. unhappy with ultra.cc transfer speeds and looking to switch, any recommendations with unlimited download? i need one with good, unlimited download-speeds via FTP

Having a hard time determining whats the difference between a seedbox and a standard bulletproof hosting service. Is it just a matter of pre installed software and plans that prioritize network/storage?

I had one about a year ago. Can't remember what it was called

I'm trying to connect my ultra cc with my NAS but can't seem to find the path folder.

I even went to qbittorrent where it tells me where it's at but I can't find it nor it's not there.

I recently purchased my first seedbox from Ultra.cc and decided to compare its real-world torrent download performance against my home NAS.

My setups:

Home NAS:

- UGREEN DXP8800 Plus

- Spectrum 1 Gbps internet

- qBittorrent + Gluetun + Proton VPN

- Port forwarding enabled

Seedbox:

- Ultra.cc Tomcat NVMe ($20.25/month)

- 950 GB NVMe storage

- 50 Gbps shared network

- qBittorrent

I tested the same 26.27 GiB torrent on both setups.

Speeds I observed:

- Home NAS: 102.4 MiB/s

- Ultra.cc NVMe: 150.9 MiB/s

The seedbox completed the download while my NAS was still at approximately 81.5%!

This is my second test, and the seedbox has finished first both times.

These are observed speeds, not necessarily the maximum speeds either setup can achieve.

I recorded a 54-second video showing the comparison.

I'm pretty impressed with Ultra.cc so far!

Has anyone else compared their home qBittorrent setup against a seedbox? I'd love to hear your results.

I'm new to seedboxes and I'm curious about the actual torrent download speed difference between qBittorrent running at home and qBittorrent running on a seedbox.

I currently have a 1 Gbps Spectrum internet connection and run qBittorrent on my UGREEN NAS.

Does anyone have screenshots showing actual torrent download speeds (MB/s or MiB/s) on both setups?

I'm especially interested in whether a seedbox performs better with torrents that have very few seeders.

I'm not asking about advertised internet speeds. I want to see real-world torrent download performance.

Thanks!

Just a regular friendly reminder to update, especially if you are running dedicated or semi-dedicated server. Suspect vendors have shared environs sorted.

In particular Plex and PHP. There is a Plex2Shell hack living out there, and it would be difficult to have missed the PHP problems within the last couple of weeks.

Enough to harsh one's buzz...

The offer: 50% off the first three months on our three smallest appboxes, paid up front. After the three months the box renews monthly at the normal price.

Appbox Lite, 500 GB, 2 transcodes: normally 5 euro a month, 2.50 on the offer, 7.50 for the three months.

Appbox +1, 1 TB, 3 transcodes: normally 11 euro a month, 5.50 on the offer, 16.50 for the three months.

Appbox +3, 3 TB, 4 transcodes: normally 14 euro a month, 7 on the offer, 21 for the three months.

Unmetered traffic on a 10Gbit port, servers in Luxembourg, France and the Netherlands. Prices exclude VAT, which is added on the invoice where it applies.

What you get:

• 96 one-click apps. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, Sabnzbd, Overseerr, Nextcloud and the rest of the list. We install them and we keep them running.

• Rootless Docker with SSH on every plan, including the 5 euro one. Run any container you like, and anything you run gets its own HTTPS address for free. One click when you want it managed, a shell when you would rather do it yourself.

• An app we do not have yet gets added within a day if you ask for it.

• A free bysh.io hostname, or point your own domain at the box. HTTPS either way, no certificate wrangling.

• A box running in under two minutes from the moment the invoice is paid.

• Tickets go to the people who have root on the server your box is on. No first line, nothing forwarded, and you are not left waiting for a reply.

The conditions, in full:

• First box only. If you have an appbox with us, or have had one before, you will be charged the normal rate. This is an offer to bring new people in, and I would rather say that here than have you find it at the checkout.

• One per customer.

• Orders from 21 October up to and including 2 November 2026.

• Our standing terms are 5% off for six months up front and 10% off for twelve, so on a first box this beats both by a distance.

• Not for you after all? The usual 7-day pro-rata refund applies: say so in the first week and you pay only for the time and resources you used.

Hi guys,

As some of might know, the original Transmission Remote GUI is throwing soon to be unsupported erros on the latest MacOS versions. As Rossetta2 is to be fased out next release I was left with an challenge. (Of course when a started on this I found out about others solving the same challenge in different ways, Qt, Swift or other based clients)
As I was still using it weekly to control my transmission server. (I don't like the new web interface).

As a C# WPF guy I was long looking for an Avalonia project to create a cross-platform .NET based app. Now empowered with Claude this was very feasable for a dad with little time left in the evenings. I know, vibe coded slump.. but at least I tried to instruct it to adheare to good coding concepts.

As a person who own a Mac, a Steamdeck and has a Windows PC still around for gaming it was obious to me to at least make sure this new client runs on all.
Avalonia should also support Android and IOS, that might still be something to look into. As wel as multi-language support. As everyting is now hardcoded english.

Introducing Synchromesh. A .NET 10 Avalonia based RPC client, styled with Material Design.
It features:

• light and dark mode. By default follows the system settings

• registers a file handler for `.torrent` and a link handler for `.magnet`

• stores server credentials in MacOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Keyring, or in a encrypted file

• Implements most of the RPC spec (left a few very specific power features out, but could be added)

• When adding a new torrent, specify which files to download

Anyway sharing is caring. It fit's my requirements. And hopefully also of some other people.

Seedbox Vendor List

Visit the seedbox-recommendation channel on our discord. It is a much better format for provider recommendations.
