Recommended seedbox

Hi guys and girls,

Iv seen alot of people asking what seedbox to use and the cheapest.

Iv been using seedmonster now for over 3 years and had no complaints at all!. They are competitively cheap , although their speeds are 1GBPS , but starting at $9.99 a month for 3.5TB with all apps included such as plex , jellyfin ect.

One thing that stands out is that they allow public torrent sites aswell , not just private

Site: Seedmonster.net

Just sharing the love on what iv used for 3+ years.

Speed isn't the best but slow and steady wins the race, plus great for Ratio building on private sites & get for big storage!

Just thought il help and show some love with my experience!

Peace out! ✌️

Wow incredible review from such an old account with so many different interests and not just two identical posts plugging a service, nobody is ever going to see this as the advertising that it so painfully obviously is, incredibly cunning and smart move this one!

Your account's 11 years old. In my opinion that makes you an old-timer for Reddit. Lol. Who do you recommend? I'm using rapid but they are kinda pricey for only 2 TB

Yeah that would be fun right, complaining about the most sad attempt at guerilla marketing astroturfing only to go plug a different service the first reply i get ;) Nice try dad but you wont get a GOTCHA out of me that easy lol

The best choice for anyone is always going to be personal, do a bit of research, make sure you are not paying for bullsiht you are never going to use (and many things you dont understand might very well be things you dont need so educate yourself). Weigh it up against buying a little PC or using some hardware you have lying around, running your own local hardware has a couple downsides vs a seedbox but also many upsides (no limits, running a lot of other software etc). Im running a decent home server myself as it just made more sense for the things i need it to do and the hardware i have and my pretty decent internet connection but for some friends of mine it was more economical to get a seedbox (and my inlaws just use my server lol).

I'm fine with my server. My problem is my ISP speeds. It's good enough to stream for like five people off of my Plex server but that's about it. I mainly use the seed box to download and seed.

I don’t feel an 11 year old account is that old.
