$30AUD budget for 2TB storage dedicated/VPS; NL based

Looking to setup a dedicated server/VPS, preferably hosted in the Netherlands, but a France-based OVH server is fine.

After a dedicated 1Gbit line, or min. 1GBit guaranteed bandwidth.
The setup doesn't need to be overly powerful, but needs to have minimum 8GB RAM. Naturally, the more powerful, the better.

Unlimited bandwidth is preferred, but 10TB/mo should be fine.

Overview:

Storage: min. 2TB; Bandwidth: Unlimited, 1Gbit (or min. 10TB).; Location: NL, FR (OVH-hosted)

Willing to be flexible, but money is a concern.
Currently hosted with OneProvider, but unhappy with the speeds and performance I'm getting for the price.

Should mention that I'm planning on using this as a seedbox. I've been with FH, but speeds were inconsistent, and the server often throttled during peak times.

    Lots of luck with that.

    Wait, what? You're NOT paying enough to justify the speed you're receiving.

    Unlimited isn't happening, 10TB is maybe doable.

    Maybe in Australia internet is free, but in Europe we still have to pay for that )))

    Isn't the opposite true. Like stupid expensive.

    With OP I'm paying $40+. The speeds I'm getting are definitely not worth the price.

    Yeah, didn't think unlimited would be possible. 10TB is easily workable, but anything lower than that might throw up the odd issue (some days I'm downloading ~500GB).

    That's an affirmative. Paying $100AUD for 100/20, unlimited.

    Are speeds to Australia the issue your trying to fix by moving provider or just speed in general?

    Speeds in general; the download speeds to AUS were fine.
    To use an example, on a large torrent (100GB+) I uploaded to a major private tracker, I could barely get above 30MB/s. This wasn't a peering issue, as there were other online.net (where my OP server is hosted) in the swarm.

  • If such a deal existed, it’d be wiped out quick.

    (Probably even by OneProvider themselves)

    Mb/s or MB/s? And are we talking about burst capability or long-term? I think sustaining 30MB/s on a VM is perfectly acceptable.

    That's burst, in a time that I should really be getting around 100MiB/s, if not more.

    Do you actually need the RAM and decent processing power? SYS has ARM servers if you're using this purely for downloads/uploads with no transcoding or whatnot.

    Honestly, not really. I need enough RAM and processing power to run 100's of torrents seeding simultaneously, and to create the odd torrent, but that's it.

    I just had a look at SYS - though they're a little bit out of my price-range, they do look promising, but unfortunately their network is limited to 100Mbit/s.
