Cheapest Seedbox with VNC (GUI) or RDC
1) Are you OK with direct message offers from vendors?
Yes
2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?
I am tired of using my own internet bandwidth for downloading and uploading. I download private tracker torrents and upload the files to Sync.com.
Sync.com does not come with rclone, so it has to be uploaded via a web browser or preferably with the Windows app.
So I am looking for the cheapest seedbox with a VNC to a gui but it cannot be a very small HDD like 50GB. It has to be 100GB min.
I am okay with Linux but prefer Windows because then I can install the Sync.com app.
3) Are you okay with sharing hardware resources with other users [shared] or do you need the seedbox hardware dedicated to just you [dedicated]?
Prefer to share as I am looking for the cheapest possible option.
4) Do you want someone else to be responsible for maintaining the seedbox software (operating system, applications) [managed] or do you want to do it all yourself [unmanaged]?
Yes, unmanaged as it is cheaper.
5) Please describe your seedbox experience. (You may wish to list any seedbox providers you've been with before.)
I am using Contabo Storage box 800GB + windows but its expensive for what it offers at $11/mo. Plus it doesn't work well. When I disconnect RDC, I am not sure if the server is still running. When I come back and connect back to RDC I see the uploads are paused. They only resume when I connect back...
6) Please describe your experience with Linux. (Most seedboxes run Linux and some knowledge of it may be helpful.)
I am not experienced with Linux. So I need a GUI.
7) What is the high end of your budget? (Please give a specific amount and a currency. "Cheap" might mean something different to one person than it does to another.)
$8~9/mo. Cheaper the better.
8) Do you have preferences or requirements concerning payment? (Paypal, Bitcoin, etc.)
No
9) Do you plan to use public trackers?
No
10) What kind of connection speed do you need? (Common answers would be 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 10Gbps.)
Speed isn't important
11) How much combined upload and download traffic do you expect each month? Include download of files from the seedbox to your local computer. If you don't know, tell us what upload amount per month would realistically make you very happy with your seedbox.
< 1TB
12) What is the minimum disk space you need?
100 GB
13) Do you require a specific type of mass storage? (HDD, SSD, NVMe SSD) If other than HDD, please explain why you think you need this.
No
14) Do you require a specific torrent client?
No
15) Do you require any other applications on the seedbox? (e.g. Plex, Subsonic, Radarr)
No
16) Do you require SSH access to the command line?
No
17) Do you require access to a remote desktop?
Yes
18) Do you require admin level (i.e. 'root') access? If yes, please explain why.
No
19) Do you have any other specific requirements?
GUI with VNC or RDP.
