spare pc for torrent server or seed server

hi guys im running fedora 6 linux and ive got 40g hhd spare ! i was thinking
of mabey using this machine to run it as a torrent server, mr admin if you
need the help then i have a machine at ur hands and more then wellcome to use
it as a torrent server !!!

internet speed is the most important factor here. what's your upstream?

well right noe my internet speed is 4m but im going up2 10m in the next week or
2 !

hi guys,

well it is a nice offer but i presume the server is not with a hosting company?
biggest problem for torrent trackers is that they have to be reliable so they
have to run 24/24 7/7 365/365 and most home lines and computers don't do that 😉

there is always something that messes with that at home so it is not realy the
best idea to run a tracker from home .


than the bandwidth data

well let us say that a tracker used by eztv uses between the 2 and 4mb speed
and about 1 tb bandwidth a month all depends from day to day and which shows are
released that day 😉

it depends also on the hardware a bit but like this you have already a general idea

hi ! well what i mght do then is just run a seed server then as im out in the
day ppl can seed of me i guess that might be a bit of help ! write back if you
think this is ok cheers

hi messiah,

well if you get the 10 mb line than feel free to contact one of the ops in the
irc channel and they can set you up with an appointment with our seeders team boss..

but be aware you can not choose what you seed it is all or nothing 😉
