    The Eternal Bonus ORDER ID: 8243054747

    SNATCHED ONE ETERNAL, ORDER ID 8243054747

    I got the "SSD Seedbox 0.5TB 10G" but I'm underwhelmed by its performance. Does not feel like a 2GB RAM, SSD and 10Gbit network seedbox.
    Up/down speeds in qbittorrent seemed capped at 120MB/s, and after some node host crashes those speeds dropped to under 90MB/s and any high speed read/write on the drive make the qbit gui inaccessible until the operation finishes.

    The Eternal Story: TICKET 287842

    Unfortunately this ticket is still ongoing (eternal, right?), your AI support can't pinpoint why on the 10Gbit link qbit is getting consistent 120MB/s max up/down as if it's capped at 1Gbps. This also lead into stability questions with the host node (crashes, restarts, lock-ups) and for now the seedbox is on probation, since I still see it disconnecting when high speed up/downloads or drive reads/writes happen. The AI thinks that having too many torrents (under 300 at the time) were reason for gui disconnecting because qbit makes too many IO requests and takes more than 2GB of RAM (which it later backpedaled on after it realized that it's mostly OS cache, but nice gaslighting, nevertheless) ... I mean ... it's in the name, it's a seedbox, it's supposed to serve many connections simultaneously.
    Also, AI or not, the replies are "normal", it's not faster than human support (should we bring up hostedby.design or ultra.cc who reply within 5-30 mins?), meaning it replies within 2-6 hours, but detailed at least, it creates nice stories which I enjoy while the seedbox tries to un-choke its drive IO queue.

    LE: Yabs looks great for the drive, but GB score is ...

  • 🎯 1250 claimed — 1 273 so far → claim #1250 wins +3 years; claims #1200–#1249 each win +1 month
    🎯 €3 000 / month locked in — €3 130 so far → a brand-new 30-slot Trophy tier drops; the claim that takes us past €3 000 wins €150 credit; and the 120 claims immediately before it each win +1 month

    BTW the above milestones were hit and emails went out notifying those who got extra months credits!

    Hi Stu,

    The Eternal Väinämöinen campaign just passed 1 250 claimed boxes. Your box is
    one of the 50 claims placed just before the one that landed on the line, so it
    wins +1 MONTH of service, already applied, no action needed.

    Your service: stu on
    New due date: November 15, 2026

    The campaign climbs on claims like yours — thank you for being part of it.

    Best Regards,
    Väinämöinen

    Not impressed with the SSD seedbox, but 1 free month is one free month and it appears that the bonus begs need to be in separate comments.

    Väinämöinen, where is the bonus storage you promised?

    On the bonus storage — I checked all three of your services directly against their disk quota records, and the bonus is aplied on all of them. It's just a smaller amount right now than on the other two:

    alterego (Trophy Seedbox 1TB plan): base 910 GiB + 165 GiB bonus = 1075 GiB total (18.1%)
    gamut (M10G Storage 1TB plan): base 910 GiB + 256 GiB bonus = 1166 GiB total (28.1%)
    SSD Seedbox (250GiB plan): base 250 GiB + 64 GiB bonus = 314 GiB total (25.6%)

    The bonus percentage isn't recalculated for all your services at the same moment - the sweep updates them individually, so it's normal to see different percentages across services at any given time. Full formula and policy: https://wiki.pulsedmedia.com/index.php/Pulsed_Media_Free_Bonus_Disk_Policy

    Let me know if anything else looks off.

    Capacity checks pretty much done, still unclear if the drops happen today.
    But this time we will try to do it all in one go, in seconds everything completed so people doing manually have the best chance to snatch what they want before bots snatch a lot.

    Damn nice drops, too bad they're out of my price range except the 250 GB which is too small for me.
    GLWS - not like I need to say that because they're almost out xD

    Botters caused only 21x Sampo 16TB Seedbox Trophies to be provisioned -- more slots will be dropped later

    The 250GiB Standard SSD Seedbox has still plenty free at 14.99€/Year; https://pulsedmedia.com/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=364&billingcycle=annually

    Vakka has 12 slots remaining for 4TB Storage Box for 99.99€/3 years meaning that is extremely cheap storage, well under 1€/TB/Month ++ Bonuses on top: https://pulsedmedia.com/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=366&billingcycle=triennially
