Seedboxing on a desktop computer
JoonasTo:
I just seed when I can and that's not really often. We got 512/512kbps connection that we share in our house with three computers. So there are no miracle speeds and a sure way to get the net bogged down is opening torrent. Even just playing UT2004 on two PC in the net at the same time kills the connection totally for the third. And just for the record, our connection costs 28€/month. That would be 40 dollars or so. Yay for Finland!

For example, this is my stats for private tracker: Uploaded: 21.26 TB Downloaded: 12.21 TB There is no way I could of uploaded that much on any connection ISP offer here. Only way would be to purchase a business connection of 100/100 and that cost around 900$ a month.

Wha... 100/100 is that expensive? I use 50/50 on ~18000 won(~$20). 100/100 is ~26000 won(~$30). 1024/1024 is ~30000(on some places). What country do you live?

We dont' have fibre optics yet in Canada either. A 25/2 connection here costs 96 Canadian dollars or like 95 USD.

Canada has a EPIC backbone network that can do well over TB/s. Most of NB (where I live) network is fibre optic, and we can now have a fibre connections to homes. Not that I could not get that before but would of been expensive... The prices are not all that bad (still high compared to European standards) and the speeds are not all that bad. But to get the speeds I want (100/100 or 1Gbps) but that would require a business deal with the ISP that offers fibre here.
Canada is not the best place to be for good cheap speeds. Sad, since most if not all of this network has been payed by the tax payers.

Sorry, that's what I meant. Cheap fibre optics options available. They're currently laying the cable in Alberta. (Unless they already completed that.) I assume the Fibre optic "deals" will begin to fly here within a year or two.

Old desktop "seedbox":
Pentium 4 631, 1GB, 8400GS 256MB, 250GB+2x500GB, 100/10 cable

I don't think it counts as an "old computer" if you can run Photoshop on it.
P.S. That's the same graphics card as I have in my "powerful" desktop. :)

It's an old version of PS, CS2, which is not that heavy on resources on a 2006 PC.
PS. Had to replace the GPU last year, cause the original decided to quit ahead of it's time.
