My first seedbox

I don't torrent that much, just games now and then and the occassional HBO show. I have cheap 6mbit/s internet so I'm not interested in fast speeds, and I don't need more than like 100GB.
This is strictly just to avoid the copyright letters from public trackers even though I don't take them that seriously anyway, but I'm finding a crapload of options on seedboxgui.de for under $10 so I figure what the hell. I only even care about the notices because my landlords might see them because I get free internet as part of the lease.

I have some experience with linux, in fact I have a Wintendo dualboot setup with Windows 10/ubuntu so I'll use Ubuntu if I need to. I've never used any kind of FTP before though.

I'm in west Canada in a major city. Again, I don't really care about download speed or lots of storage, just something that's easy to use and will max my paltry 6mbit/s connection, looks like I should be able to find something like that for $10USD. If it doesn't log IPs and takes a prepaid visa bought with cash, that's a bonus, but not a necessity.

Get seedhost.eu or seedbox.io or (Bytesized above). They are all in 5-8 bucks range. You won't get burned.

I'd suggest you to check out

https://seedbox.io/

I'm currently using their shared seedbox plan.

You can also do a speed test and check here the speeds from box to your home: https://seedbox.io/speedtest

I'm suggesting you this because I'm currently using them and I think they will be enough for your needs.

Check out €5 Plan. Should be sufficient for you: https://seedbox.io/premium-seedbox

I recently put a new plan in Beta, the Appbox +Elastic, that might suite your needs. It's 8 EUR, comes with 50GB of dedicated SSD storage and options to add Flexible HDD storage at 7 cent per 10GB. (You can find my website here.

I'm not sure Paypal or Stripe supports prepaid Visa's to be honest. If privacy is a thing I would consider looking into instead paying with cryptocurrencies, Monero or Zcash would be good candidates (I support both and a slew of others as well).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Is this your own creature or still renting from Joshua?

I stopped renting hardware a few years ago and I switched away from the network last week so at this moment I'm Joshua free! ;)

You can read all about it here in case you are interested.

Good read that, I am trying to switch away as well the only problem is that I dont like limits on my pipe.

It's the limits that guarantee quality and availability. It's always a trade-off ;)

I've had a good experience with a 100GB SSD PulsedMedia plan so far. I believe it is <$6/month.
