Can you run a seedbox on Kimsufi 2G (The famed 2.99 EUR plan)

I want to run approx. 50 torrents at a time. On private trackers ONLY.

I guess it is against their TOS, so:

What is my probability of getting caught?
What happens if I do get caught?
Will they only suspend me or do something even worse?! :O:O

Thanks~~~

    That's what OVH is known for, so why not.

  • You can. No network SLA if you do though. Might be slow. Might not.

    They'll send frogmen to your house and fill it with baguette and smelly cheese if you get caught!

    They have so many Tor nodes and seedboxes that is probably allowed, albeit unofficially. They will probably terminate you if you get caught by DMCA or whatever else that makes them look at it.

  • I ran this all the time on KS2G while ago when it was 9euros or something. I was able to use full 100Mbps without any problems

    They changed the TOS.

    Their old TOS even admitted that a "seedbox" is something you can run in their network, the only thing they did about it is "reserve the right" to not guarantee the bandwidth:

  • Won't OVH only terminate for DMCA if its a U.S Location? I thought DMCA Is a U.S ONLY law, If you have OVH EU Services DMCA should be 0 concern?

  • rm_rm_ IPv6 Advocate, Veteran

    @VPSSimon OVH does not have an US location.

    Yes they do? - Eastern NORTH AMERICA (BHS)

  • rds100rds100 Member

    @rm_ maybe they plan to offer US location and that's the reason behind the recent ToS changes?

    They have offered U.S for month's ? Maybe you mean U.S Location isn't doing the 2.99 dedi offer, Not sure. I mean via OVH themself you can purchase BHS location.

    Bit mis-leading of OVH to call it america yet its not. But ok; DMCA might/mightnot apply .

    Legally it wouldn't apply as its outside U.S jurisdicition; However OVH are never good when it comes to debating legality's they terminate instantly then investigate later which takes several weeks.

    I've personally had several legal contacts with them an it took weeks on end of none responses until solicitor deployed to contact them finally got a response an resolution. OK That wasn't concerning DMCA but it was still regarding there TOS.

    So i wouldn't dare use BHS location for stuff that violates DMCA; Although for 2.99 doubt many expect to be able to stream torrents an other high bandwidth stuff without having issues.

    that is why i think 0 providers have been phased about the OVH offer, Awful support an there ability to act on DMCA as if its a EU law although 90% of time i hear they do ignore DMCA just odd time they act on it an force a server reinstall or termination.

    You do understand that Canada is part of the continent "NORTH AMERICA"

    Eastern NORTH AMERICA (BHS) is perfectly correct and makes sense no matter you read it in english or french.

    Yes i do, I just personally dont assosiate canada with america at all. I mean legally speaking, I still am pretty sure DMCA won't apply. - I was referring to the legal aspect of does DMCA apply to canada, Not if people define canada as part of northern america.

    I would rather say it is the other way around, I dont associate US with America, they are the odd chick there, if we think only of the neighbours, canada and mexico, those are so radically different, not to mention south america and the carribean.

    Canada is North of America so it's also known as North America.

    That's also why South America is called that. United States of America is named such because it used to be just "America", but the country split up and then came back together during the America Civilian War.

    Edit: this is also why the Statue of Liberty is green.

    There's one continent that is called America. This continent is divided by two tectonical plates, the northern part (Greenland, Canada, USA, Mexico) and the southern part. The northern plate is called North America and the southern plate South America.

    If it would come from the name, then South America would be the original America, as the first settlers went there. South America was the first part of the continent to be discovered by Europeans.

    Then again, I guess I had to much popcorn and didn't get the joke in your comment :-)

    I could have sworn the Statue of Liberty was green because its coated with copper* and sits outside 24/7.

    what?! Settlers went to North America, from the Beringia ice bridge.
