Windows VPS that will allow torrenting
I know the typical answer here is, "Get a seedbox," but I'm not sure if those meet my needs. AFAIK, they typically provide access to a web UI for torrenting, not access to Windows.
I'm a developer looking for a solution to my very slow upload speeds at home. I'm working on a project that involves downloading large videos (50–100 GB) and splicing them into second-by-second screenshots, then uploading the screenshots to an S3 bucket.
Given their policies and setup, which VPS providers will both be okay with this and allow it?

Would that be legal torrenting or illegal torrenting?

I'm going to guess 4k movies, so illegal?
Are you downloading from pirvate or public torrent trackers? Also is it porn?
It would involve movies from a private tracker (PTP). I also have my own HTTP proxies that I'd be using for everything torrent-related.
There are a bunch of providers who are okay with that kind of usage.
If you share what kind of specs you need, we could send you an offer.
you could use basically any hosting provider then
I don't have very strict requirements. Looking for at least 50 Mbps upload speed and maybe 500 GB of disk space. 8 GB of RAM is probably necessary for remoting in without it being a slog.
linux or gtfo.
Hi 😘
I tried to think of some specific configuration for this use case, and came up with this:
InterServer — $6.00 / month
2 Intel Cores (shared)
4096 MB RAM
2000 GB HDD
4000 GB/month bandwidth
1.0 Gbps port speed
IPv4 + IPv6
Hosted in U.S.A.
it is a little cheaper than other nice offers, but doesn't have Windows (it lets you install Windows from ISO).
Let me know!
Hello,
If that's your requirement I could do the following.
8GB DDR4
500GB NVMe
4TB (1Gbps Uplink)
4vCore
Frankfurt, DE
25$/mo
How does that sound to you?
We could offer you something like this in Frankfurt.
4 vCores (Ryzen 9 7950X3D)
8GB RAM
100GB NVMe Storage
1TB HDD Storage
20TB Traffic
2.5Gibt/s Uplink
for $15/month
Just drop me a DM if you are interested.
Would HDD be good for torrenting?
They are configured in a RAID 10 and have an SSD-based cache, so the performance should be more than enough for this type of use case.
In general, HDD-based storage is not that uncommon for seedboxes.
A normal seedbox won’t work if you need Windows and custom processing. You’ll need a VPS or dedicated server with good bandwidth and flexible usage policies. Look for providers that allow heavy storage and high bandwidth . Always check their terms to make sure they allow video processing and large uploads.
If Canada is okay, Servarica offers True Dedicated CPU cores for only $8 a month:
Servarica Unified Plans (Referral Link)
4 Dedicated CPU Cores (AMD EPYC 7551P)
16 GB RAM
500 GB NVMe Disk Space
16 TB Bandwidth
Servarica Unified Plans (Non-Referral Link)
You can get just about any RDP + a DMCA ignored VPN/VPS and route the torrent traffic through that.
The tracker will adjust which part to serve whom.
A 10 year old HDD will also do fine if rest have modern hardware.
