Grabbed an ultra.cc seedbox last night for fun and hit 640MB/sec down on torrents, damn

Just checked, 110MB/s on Gigabit on a private tracker, fastest I have seen on public trackers was ~50MB/s (Gigabit as well), however the latter one could be higher and heavily depends on the age as well as the available seeders. Yes this was a Linux ISO, but no, wasn't a Linux .iso

Well new record in private tracker.

I decided to grab an ultracc box on some private trackers and saw similar. Insane speeds!

How do you get access to private trackers?

moodwriter

Ask a friend for invite

Invites from friends/ randoms and reddit. Once you get into some decent trackers some can have recruiters on the forums etc. Check out /r/trackers and /r/opensignups on reddit. Some of the crappier trackers will allow you to donate for access like IPT.

I love them, I didnt screenshot it back then, but I brushed 900MiB/s for a moment with them. tried 5 or 6 others while I had my Ultra.cc but just didnt feel the the same love.

A little over 200MB/s down on 2 gigabit internet

Yeah, shame about the bandwidth limits but I imagine that's how they keep the service fast.

I have 5 MB/s on my LowEndSeedbox.
This is manually configured to not disrupt other customers.
@Calin approved this value when I asked.
This speed is actually achievable.

Previously, the @PulsedMedia €18/year was configured as 31 MB/s.
I never saw it achieve this speed, because uTorrent only allowed 4 active peers and this setting cannot be changed.
Actual achievable speed was 12 MB/s.

Yes it doesn't exceeds 12 MB/s

With some tuning, thanks to @Calin my VM1 could go up to 100MB/s
I mostly use a small private tracker, so the average usage is 1MB/s in & 5MB/s out

I have been looking for same so that my upload speed better than my download. Didn't know much about tuning vps. Is it possible to raise upload speed with tuning?

As I said tuning, as gift he adapted the plan for my usage, not really a tuning
Indeed, everyone around go with ultracc ...

download speed is not really important. upload is.

You're doing it wrong.

This was from spaceberg seedbox and sometimes it crosses 500 MB/s too. Besides 2TB storage and a full VPS level access where you can install whatever you want like Plex etc for €6/m is kinda good.
