Yes.
Cool, thanks for the answer.
See; https://pulsedmedia.com/seedbox-all-features.php
i like how pulsedmedia sell shell accounts. This is how it should be done. Root accounts should not be commoditised for endusers. It is asking for problems. In my dba kingdom giving dba rights to mortals in databases always gave more probs then it helped.
Keep up the good work @PulsedMedia!

Is SFTP traffic included in traffic limits/allotment?
I noticed on the page you linked it says:
But on the limits wiki and from my support tickets with Väinämöinen all external traffic was included (though the support tickets might be a misunderstanding on my part):
If both are true: it counts against it, but will never be restricted if you meet the limit.
I'm not sure whether that makes a ton of sense, but they're technically not mutually exclusive.
that is severely outdated, open a ticket about that, you deserve credit for noticing. It used to be that only rtorrent gets limited, now everything gets.
All outgoing is counted regardless of protocol as well. I'll have that updated.
The only difference between storage box and seed box is that storage box is optimized for capacity over speed?
Depending on your definition of "optimized" yes.
Consider the following storagebox
Verse this Seedbox
So Seedboxes you get more RAM, higher I/O priority, CPU cores, CPU Priority, and much HIGH monthly high speed traffic. The higher performance here "should" allow you to run the media stack, if you so desire (for jellyfin/*arr apps, etc.)
On both: You get the exact same shared 10Gbps Port speed, Storage, and HDD/Raid 5 configuration.
Who cares?
No one needs more shit on the net, pulsedmedia puts more shit on the net anyway.
That's great advice but not very helpful. Why don't you send him a reminder each time you take yours?
That would help more.
When new DC with new minidedis?
Do you have any "seedbox" with GPU/igpu? tyvm
Submitted ticket #669756, thank you!

Install is one thing, but can you use it to download a week of TV without it shitting the bed? 10 x 10GB active torrents? Actual use cases.
Easily, since rtorrent is incredibly lightweight in operation. As long as the disk isn't too slow (since you won't have much page cache), you could maintain hundreds of active torrents.
With lots of random read and writes? Curious from someone actually running this stable. The general feedback I took from these seedboxes over the years is that they regularly shit the bed.
I got shitloads of RAM, so I run QB.
I have no idea about PulsedMedia's setup (don't they use LXC?), but Alpine and rtorrent can realistically handle that with just 256 MB memory. You might not be able to do fancy firewall rules with conntrack, and you probably won't be able to make full use of a fast network port if you don't have an NVMe, but it should run just fine and remain stable.
@PulseMedia
I have three simple questions and a remark.
I never used torrent or the like, so I'm a total noob with that. But no problem (I thought) as I had planned to use it as storage only (and maybe, just maybe, sometimes later learn about the torrent stuff).
Unfortunately you pretty much shocked and overwhelmed me (again, I'm a noob with that, and maybe my feedback is helpful to you) by welcoming me on a web page with tons and tons of stuff - but no simple info, at all (plus that Vinäi[whatever] beast seems to be on meth and dumping way too much blabla at us).
So,
Any help would be appreciated.
Q1: use
ssh username@*.mcx.fi(username and password sent to you via email, or add public key)Q2: Yes, the same as Q1
Q3: no root. Just use docker image or portable binary
I did a test just for you. I activated PM's pre-installed qBittorrent-nox (version 4.5.2) on the 250mb box that I have and loaded in 60 torrents totaling 918gb. It's consuming less than 50mb of RAM. PM's telemetry says that I'm consuming 45mb of process and 55mb of cache. All of those linux ISOs were originally donwloaded to the machine using qbit 5.2.3 installed directly in my user space (on the raid array, not installed on the OS drive like the 4.5.2 version I'm running). It works fine if you're OK with slow. Note that these 250mb boxes are marketed as storage, not seedboxes. The fact that you can run qbit on them is an extra benefit.
They provide non-root accounts in one single OS for everyone, I suppose directly on the physical machine. As someone posted elsewhere, basically selling shell accounts. I suppose RAM limiting is done via cgroups.
I'm really enjoying a couple of my boxes, a very nice setup, basically all the software and features you could even wish for, and great transfer speeds.
Ah, that's even better. That means all the network stack overhead is also probably not counted.
Nah I edited out that part, after checking that the user panel shows the cache utilization too, as a part of the provided RAM limit.
When will it be back in stock?
Cache including buffers? Does it count reclaimable page cache?
It would be nice to have some way of roughly predicting when an item will be back in stock. Refreshing gets old.
process's buffer, yes. But downloading 2GB of file won't increase the ram usage to 2GB after it was written
