Newgroup or Seedbox?

That charge is not Per GB. That is storage space. You dont pay anything to download. Downloads to the server and my machine is unlimited and free. I am not sure what you are on about, because Seedbox is not much cheaper, and they limit the amount of torrents you can download at a time. DownStorm has no such limit.

My downloads always come in at full speed, which suits my needs just perfectly.

No offense lol but its not worth it. All you need on torrent flux is to que the torrent and download it. Nothing more, nothing less. The amount you pay for per/gb is retarded. Plus just use news server and you'll get almost the same speed. Its uncapped who cares if it takes 3 days.

I think he thought the R49/gig is the traffic.

@Cableguy - Errr i never said they limited the downloads, Clearly you not sure what im on about as you confused yourself.

@Cyberarmy - No i never thought such thing

@Both - I am referring to there ridiculous cost for HARD DRIVE SPACE, even thou you can delete the torrents after its still stupid prices. But its your money if you want to waste it on rubbish like that go ahead lol. I dont use or need seedboxes. I would just stick with news servers personally.

Weird, I was just looking at seedbox.me last night! They really do seem to offer the best prices. I'm considering dropping Astraweb in favour of a seedbox to take advantage of the fact that http traffic is not shaped at all (as opposed to usenet traffic being shaped during peak hours). Keep us posted

as i say. the best speed i managed was 200kB/s. i may be logging in to windows later this evening. i'll try to remember testing it with a different windo manager to DownThemAll.

Ok, so let me get this straight... downstorm uses local SA bandwidth to download the torrents you have already downloaded via the downstorm service? So the advantage is you can use local bandwidth and not your international?
Now, what is so great about torrent flux? I did a search but only came across an open source bit torrent client by that name?

 

[milomak]

torrentflux is just a web based torrent client.
