Suggestion for Seedbox (or, how to avoid ISP's suspicion of my high uploads)
-
When I decided to start uploading my own torrents to the site (using video from popular site, since I am a member those sites, don't ask how I can afford those sites, I know the person in the industry who does porn video reviews) I was happy that the my high upload numbers were helping my ratio (since the videos were popular)
Until I realized that ALL THE VIDEOS HAD HIGH UPLOAD NUMBERS (aka number of GBs uploaded)
Reason: My ISP might start getting suspicious about the high upload number. (I have Comcast, aka NBC Cable aka Xfinity) and even though I use VPN from time to time, the high upload bandwidth is still visible to the ISP (via all those late night network activity)
So I have concluded that I think Seedbox might be next best thing for all those uploads I will be doings.
Problem is, I don't know which one to get. :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: Because
1: Tight on budget. I think I can afford something around $10 or less per month, but any more, pushing it. (I have lots of subscription to other sites like Netflix and etc, not to mention the electric bills and cable bills and rent, oh my)
2. I have a Mac. Which makes configuring harder from what I heard.
3. First time considering seedbox. All I know that it's a cloud based storage solution for torrent, and all the torrent traffic goes through the cloud, my hard drive and my ISP data is never touched, since all the files needed for torrent are uploaded to the servers in the cloud)
So, anyone with good suggestion for great Seedbox that I can get for cheap, and has really easy learning curve?

I use http://cheapseedboxes.com/ the dronebox for $10 a month. Not sure how the mac aspect affect it.

So that's the best budget seedbox? Is the speed faster than let's say a Comcast connection?

It meets my needs( I did not say its the best), I have not idea what the speed of comcast is? But the speed of the seedbox seems fine for me.

Just remember… If you're using a VPN, the only thing that your provider can see is the total amount of data transferred. Who is to say that you do not run a server of some sort, say for a home based business? While upload totals may be tell-a-tale that you're distributing content out to the internet, they cannot be used to determine exactly what that content was. That's the beautiful thing about VPN traffic.
Also, I'm glad I'm in Canada where the laws surrounding that kind of thing are much more sane than they are in the United States.
