    • PayPal Only (All BF deals must be paid via PayPal)

    • No Reservations: Cancelling at checkout does not reserve your slot. Your spot is ecured only after PayPal payment completion
    • Batch Processing: VPS servers are setup in batches. Account and VPS details will be emailed after setup is complete
    • Final Sale: Stock is extremely limited. Once sold out, these deals will NOT return. Payments are final. No refunds on promotions.

    Paid but it did not ask for account registration. What next?

    We work on Albanian Time, we have just woken up for the day here.

    We are checking the orders now and having some coffee - then we will process them.

    There may have been a glitch - I'm seeing multiple orders for the same product here. Some may be refunded. Only the first one will be accepted. (multiple people had the payment page already up when the first paid and locked it, so all of them that were on PayPal already paid. Which isn't an issue - it just means we will have to refund some, we obviously can't honor 16 storage deals that large due to a glitch).

    The first ones of each will receive an email from support {at} avsisp.com asking for which OS and the email address on your account (if different than paypal). The others will receive a prompt refund.

    Apologies for any delays. Posts here on LET may not align with our operating hours, of course - which may lead to slight delays between post / order and us processing them.

    Thank you for understanding.

    So that means only two orders will actually go through? I really thought this was going to be the best deal I snagged for BF2025. Thanks for the generosity anyway, and huge congrats to the two lucky winners !

    Yes, of course - they were intended to be limit 1 of each deal. But what happened was LET people have those fast fingers and multiple of you opened the page at the exact same time, proceeded to PayPal at the exact same time, and paid at the exact same time before one paid and locked the page. Down to the ms, they were within 2ms of eachother which is insanely fast on you guy's part (I love the enthusiasm! Thanks for the support!).

    Refunds have already been issued. I think it's better we don't post publicly the emails of the 2 that were actually first, so I'll just say to check if you were refunded. If you got a refund, you weren't the first. If you didn't see a refund, you were first and you'll get a support email shortly with questions on OS and account email.

    Apologies again for this glitch.

    Too bad for them, need to wait for more than month to get their money back, because of faulty system to not recheck things

    It isn't a faulty system. It's PayPal themselves. We relied on their system to handle that. So now PayPal is a faulty system? Makes sense.... For sure..

    As for a month, that's entirely incorrect.
    1) if you paid with PayPal balance, it's instantly back
    2) if you paid with linked bank, it's just cancelled and never gets pulled - no money ever moves
    3) if you paid with card, it's instant for USA Visa/MC usually and for other countries or card types it's 3 days max, usually in 24 hours or less.

    Again, apologies, but we had no way to control this glitch. You guys are just too fast - this isn't the first time this has happened in LET history. It's happened with WHMCS using hosts, hostbill hosts, etc. payments make it through but product OOS and then payment cancelled or refunded. It's quiet a normal glitch and isn't one that can be solved unless you're a bank with the computer processing payments directly connected to your website which would be illegal but yeah - 2ms isn't enough time for notifications to cut transactions to come. And if you're already on the payment page, PayPal is going to accept that payment, even if the order page is already disabled. That's a PayPal issue - not one we can control. And again, with 2ms differences in payment times, I'm not sure any system in the world could have stopped that glitch regardless. Try to ping your own phone from your laptop in the same house or something some time. That's 2ms or more...

    You shouldn't be relying on the payment provider to marshall who got the deal first. If someone has got to the stage where they've already been offered a deal and paid the advertised price, you should honour it.

    If you only have one deal to sell, you should raise the invoice to whoever gets there first, and you can do that locally and ensure there is only one. If they don't pay the invoice in a reasonable timeframe, then cancel the order and restart the offer.

    Again, that wouldn't have worked in this case. They were 2ms apart. They were at the page at the same time. There's no way it could have been prevented. PayPal themselves didn't stop it - on WHMCS with a limit 1 product even we've had this happen before. So what you're saying is incorrect and isn't compatible with how programming, APIs, internet latency, etc work.

    We did the responsible thing and refunded them because we don't oversell our servers. We can't very-well sell 16TB of space when we can't guarantee that much space on the servers.

    Apologies again to anyone refunded. But in the end, there was not other options for us but to handle it responsibly and give people their money back. We aren't some shady host that will oversell it rediculously to make a quick buck. We try to be responsible and not to oversell what we have available. If these had all been on Albania, it's possible we could have just added drives. But they were mostly for London - where we have less control to upgrade servers, especially without massive downtime.

    You didn't read what I wrote. Don't send two customers to paypal and hope that paypal will decide who was first. Decide YOURSELF who was first, and send that person to paypal. If they don't complete the purchase in a reasonable time, say 10 minutes, cancel the order and then reopen the deal.

    This was done...

    When the first person clicked the PayPal button, a lockfile was made. The page would have loaded out of stock at that point. If IPN came, lockfile became permanent. If not in 5 minutes, it unlocked.

    Problem was - they were already all on the page and already clicking PayPal button at the EXACT SAME TIME. So that lock file didn't matter. They were at PayPal, not on our website.

    This is a skill issue, not an unresolvable issue.

    It's perfectly possible to make atomic locks using the filesystem (although there are significantly better approaches). As a hint, e.g. create a symlink from "/tmp/stupid-way-of-doing-locking" to the order number, and then stat it to verify which order was first. But there's many better ways of doing it as well.

    We locked it the second first one clicked the PayPal button. But they all clicked at the exact same time. Same hour, minute, second. Only ms differences.

    I think everyone should use Puzzles for promocodes like Kuroit did. But 1000x more difficult ones. Otherwise, all good deals will be taken by bots.

    The added advantage is fun, and more exposure for the hosting company for having clever promocodes that rewards the puzzle solver. It will certainly lead to much bigger discussions. Also get higher SEO for hosting company if users spend more time there.

    Make the puzzle something chatgpt cannot easily solve. And you will see more people participate too, because now people feel they have a chance to win, as opposed to staying online refreshing a thread for entire day and then still not get the best deals.

    Just so you know... it is not easy to come up with hard puzzle / questions that's not easily solvable by ChatGPT. Talk is cheap.

    And the truth is, why would small providers spend so much more time developing the puzzles etc just to sell deals that doesn't make them much money? By business standpoint the time spent on developing / designing the puzzles could better be used elsewhere.

    In 2024 I tried to have some custom captcha - which prove to be working. I only accepted to organise this year's event very urgently so don't really have time to deploy that again. However, maybe that's something we (as a platform) can do in the future.

    this BF saw many deals that were more expensive than usual

    unironically I want @PulsedMedia deals because I am big on seeding ebooks and torrents for research/education. I didn't realize I could buy more than one when I saw the 4TB seedbox deal and I want like 3 more of them ngl

    @PulsedMedia any any 7-12eur 400-500gb seedboxes?

    M10G SSD regular Black Friday fits this PERFECTLY: https://pulsedmedia.com/specials.php

    We are taking about annually... recurring...

    PulsedMedia sometimes forget he on LET and thinks this is r/Seedbox or something :-D

    Oh annually 7€ for 500GB. Well that was monthly 6€ recurring.

    We don't do 500GB HDD seedboxes anymore. Seedboxes are not like VPS where you can put 100 VPS on single HDD. You have a maximum of about 4 to 6 per HDD. With today's 30TB drives, how many GiB is that divided with 6? ;) ... That is the minimum pricing that can be done.

    I don't want 500G, I want 4TB because I seed libraries of ebooks and stuff. I didn't know I could buy multiples of the offer for 4TB for 6$ EUR or I would have. Any way I can buy..multiples of the 6$ EUR offer? I'll pay triennially for all of them

    Here are the offers currently available / left, on top of our website Specials page, and not fully sold out.
    There is 8TB RAID0 (ephemeral shit) still available, but no 4TB RAID5 Seedbox.

    However you get the boxes eventually; Use the same username to ensure different servers.


    Just want that Storage #1 Spot. So 71+% discount, you are welcome.

    V10G Storage Box 4TB for .... 1.99€ A month? (6 months max)


    A totally totally chicken deal, not even 7$. Nothing to see here.

    455GiB SSD Seedbox 1Gbps 69.69€ for 3 Years!



    A totally totally PG13 Storage Box!

    100mbit egress is not seedbox tier. Would never seed something on 100mbit, my home connection is faster tbh. Shame there's no 6$ EUR reprisal. Will try my best to stuff everything on the one I did manage to get. Thanks friend

    storage boxes ARE NOT seedboxes. Which i said, nothing on seedbox tier right now.

    this BF saw many deals that were more expensive than usual

    unironically I want @PulsedMedia deals because I am big on seeding ebooks and torrents for research/education. I didn't realize I could buy more than one when I saw the 4TB seedbox deal and I want like 3 more of them ngl

    @PulsedMedia any any 7-12eur 400-500gb seedboxes?

    M10G SSD regular Black Friday fits this PERFECTLY: https://pulsedmedia.com/specials.php

    We are taking about annually... recurring...

    PulsedMedia sometimes forget he on LET and thinks this is r/Seedbox or something :-D

    Oh annually 7€ for 500GB. Well that was monthly 6€ recurring.

    We don't do 500GB HDD seedboxes anymore. Seedboxes are not like VPS where you can put 100 VPS on single HDD. You have a maximum of about 4 to 6 per HDD. With today's 30TB drives, how many GiB is that divided with 6? ;) ... That is the minimum pricing that can be done.

    I don't want 500G, I want 4TB because I seed libraries of ebooks and stuff. I didn't know I could buy multiples of the offer for 4TB for 6$ EUR or I would have. Any way I can buy..multiples of the 6$ EUR offer? I'll pay triennially for all of them

    Here are the offers currently available / left, on top of our website Specials page, and not fully sold out.
    There is 8TB RAID0 (ephemeral shit) still available, but no 4TB RAID5 Seedbox.

    However you get the boxes eventually; Use the same username to ensure different servers.


    Just want that Storage #1 Spot. So 71+% discount, you are welcome.

    V10G Storage Box 4TB for .... 1.99€ A month? (6 months max)


    A totally totally chicken deal, not even 7$. Nothing to see here.

    455GiB SSD Seedbox 1Gbps 69.69€ for 3 Years!



    A totally totally PG13 Storage Box!

    100mbit egress is not seedbox tier. Would never seed something on 100mbit, my home connection is faster tbh. Shame there's no 6$ EUR reprisal. Will try my best to stuff everything on the one I did manage to get. Thanks friend

    storage boxes ARE NOT seedboxes. Which i said, nothing on seedbox tier right now.

    But a seedbox can be a storage box, right?

    Notes:

    • PayPal Only (All BF deals must be paid via PayPal)
    • Manual Setup: Setup is performed manually, usually within 1 hour (varies by time of purchase)
    • No Reservations: Cancelling at checkout does not reserve your slot. Your spot is ecured only after PayPal payment completion
    • Batch Processing: VPS servers are setup in batches. Account and VPS details will be emailed after setup is complete
    • Final Sale: Stock is extremely limited. Once sold out, these deals will NOT return. Payments are final. No refunds on promotions.

    Paid but it did not ask for account registration. What next?

    We work on Albanian Time, we have just woken up for the day here.

    We are checking the orders now and having some coffee - then we will process them.

    There may have been a glitch - I'm seeing multiple orders for the same product here. Some may be refunded. Only the first one will be accepted. (multiple people had the payment page already up when the first paid and locked it, so all of them that were on PayPal already paid. Which isn't an issue - it just means we will have to refund some, we obviously can't honor 16 storage deals that large due to a glitch).

    The first ones of each will receive an email from support {at} avsisp.com asking for which OS and the email address on your account (if different than paypal). The others will receive a prompt refund.

    Apologies for any delays. Posts here on LET may not align with our operating hours, of course - which may lead to slight delays between post / order and us processing them.

    Thank you for understanding.

    So that means only two orders will actually go through? I really thought this was going to be the best deal I snagged for BF2025. Thanks for the generosity anyway, and huge congrats to the two lucky winners !

    Yes, of course - they were intended to be limit 1 of each deal. But what happened was LET people have those fast fingers and multiple of you opened the page at the exact same time, proceeded to PayPal at the exact same time, and paid at the exact same time before one paid and locked the page. Down to the ms, they were within 2ms of eachother which is insanely fast on you guy's part (I love the enthusiasm! Thanks for the support!).

    Refunds have already been issued. I think it's better we don't post publicly the emails of the 2 that were actually first, so I'll just say to check if you were refunded. If you got a refund, you weren't the first. If you didn't see a refund, you were first and you'll get a support email shortly with questions on OS and account email.

    Apologies again for this glitch.

    Too bad for them, need to wait for more than month to get their money back, because of faulty system to not recheck things

    It isn't a faulty system. It's PayPal themselves. We relied on their system to handle that. So now PayPal is a faulty system? Makes sense.... For sure..

    As for a month, that's entirely incorrect.
    1) if you paid with PayPal balance, it's instantly back
    2) if you paid with linked bank, it's just cancelled and never gets pulled - no money ever moves
    3) if you paid with card, it's instant for USA Visa/MC usually and for other countries or card types it's 3 days max, usually in 24 hours or less.

    Again, apologies, but we had no way to control this glitch. You guys are just too fast - this isn't the first time this has happened in LET history. It's happened with WHMCS using hosts, hostbill hosts, etc. payments make it through but product OOS and then payment cancelled or refunded. It's quiet a normal glitch and isn't one that can be solved unless you're a bank with the computer processing payments directly connected to your website which would be illegal but yeah - 2ms isn't enough time for notifications to cut transactions to come. And if you're already on the payment page, PayPal is going to accept that payment, even if the order page is already disabled. That's a PayPal issue - not one we can control. And again, with 2ms differences in payment times, I'm not sure any system in the world could have stopped that glitch regardless. Try to ping your own phone from your laptop in the same house or something some time. That's 2ms or more...

    You shouldn't be relying on the payment provider to marshall who got the deal first. If someone has got to the stage where they've already been offered a deal and paid the advertised price, you should honour it.

    If you only have one deal to sell, you should raise the invoice to whoever gets there first, and you can do that locally and ensure there is only one. If they don't pay the invoice in a reasonable timeframe, then cancel the order and restart the offer.

    Again, that wouldn't have worked in this case. They were 2ms apart. They were at the page at the same time. There's no way it could have been prevented. PayPal themselves didn't stop it - on WHMCS with a limit 1 product even we've had this happen before. So what you're saying is incorrect and isn't compatible with how programming, APIs, internet latency, etc work.

    We did the responsible thing and refunded them because we don't oversell our servers. We can't very-well sell 16TB of space when we can't guarantee that much space on the servers.

    Apologies again to anyone refunded. But in the end, there was not other options for us but to handle it responsibly and give people their money back. We aren't some shady host that will oversell it rediculously to make a quick buck. We try to be responsible and not to oversell what we have available. If these had all been on Albania, it's possible we could have just added drives. But they were mostly for London - where we have less control to upgrade servers, especially without massive downtime.

    You didn't read what I wrote. Don't send two customers to paypal and hope that paypal will decide who was first. Decide YOURSELF who was first, and send that person to paypal. If they don't complete the purchase in a reasonable time, say 10 minutes, cancel the order and then reopen the deal.

    This was done...

    When the first person clicked the PayPal button, a lockfile was made. The page would have loaded out of stock at that point. If IPN came, lockfile became permanent. If not in 5 minutes, it unlocked.

    Problem was - they were already all on the page and already clicking PayPal button at the EXACT SAME TIME. So that lock file didn't matter. They were at PayPal, not on our website.

    This is a skill issue, not an unresolvable issue.

    It's perfectly possible to make atomic locks using the filesystem (although there are significantly better approaches). As a hint, e.g. create a symlink from "/tmp/stupid-way-of-doing-locking" to the order number, and then stat it to verify which order was first. But there's many better ways of doing it as well.

    Yeah, databases were invented to handle concurrent events in consistent ways.

    Custom Captcha where you have to guess the LET members correct cock pic

    It's always @murv or @beanman109 or @allthemtings, so the odds aren't that terrible...

    If I'm included then it wouldn't be fair to those without ultrawide monitors.

    I think everyone should use Puzzles for promocodes like Kuroit did. But 1000x more difficult ones. Otherwise, all good deals will be taken by bots.

    The added advantage is fun, and more exposure for the hosting company for having clever promocodes that rewards the puzzle solver. It will certainly lead to much bigger discussions. Also get higher SEO for hosting company if users spend more time there.

    Make the puzzle something chatgpt cannot easily solve. And you will see more people participate too, because now people feel they have a chance to win, as opposed to staying online refreshing a thread for entire day and then still not get the best deals.

    Just so you know... it is not easy to come up with hard puzzle / questions that's not easily solvable by ChatGPT. Talk is cheap.

    And the truth is, why would small providers spend so much more time developing the puzzles etc just to sell deals that doesn't make them much money? By business standpoint the time spent on developing / designing the puzzles could better be used elsewhere.

    In 2024 I tried to have some custom captcha - which prove to be working. I only accepted to organise this year's event very urgently so don't really have time to deploy that again. However, maybe that's something we (as a platform) can do in the future.

    Here's some to use as inspiration:
