This has really shown that the be true. I am stuck in a situation right now where I have some lost media I want to upload but they have been down for over a week. I plan to create a torrent in the meantime but that means relying on my personal network connection for the vast majority of downloads up front. I looked into CloudFlare R2, not terrible but not free either.
I was looking into using R2 as a web seed for the torrent but I don't _really_ want to spend much to upload content that is going to get "stolen" and reuploaded by content farms anyway you know?
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoWhy not subscribe to a seedbox? They’re about $5/2TB/mo. It protects your IP, you can buy for only the month, and since seedboxes are hosted in DMCA-resistant data centers you can download riskier torrents lightning fast, meaning you’re not just spending money for others, you can get something out of it too.
- bigiain 2y agoAny hints or recommendations on how to find a decent seedbox vendor? (working email in profile if you'd rather not name any in public)
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoI’ve only used r/Seedboxes on Reddit, and that’s yet to fail me. The specific one I mentioned is EvoSeedBox’s $5/mo tier with 130GB HDD + 2TB bandwidth which is all I’ve needed so far.
- gruez 2y ago2TB of bandwidth or storage?
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoBandwidth, though some provide multi-TB storage (I assume you pay out the nose however).
