But there are noticeable problems in places. We can see tariffs with hdd, they cannot withstand the load. The speed just drops, as if the disc does not pull out

But there is, a great budget option. https://www.seedbox.ch/
5 $ / 500 GB Disk and full 200 mb. Very good work 24/7 on Heavyweight torrents

You need to read their terms and conditions
"5.5 About Torrents, we dont allow seeding of public tracker torrents(downloading shall be allowed) on our servers and doing so will result in termination of your account without possibility of refund."

But I know another great option for $8-12. Vps with 2 core / 4G Ram and 60gb nvme with unlimited 10G.

But in my opinion, if there is a team of 3-5 people, it is more profitable to rent a powerful 10g server together. And make great seedboxes

I've tested five in the last few months.

(These all allow public trackers).

rapidseedbox.com : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support seem to be responsive.

seedboxes.cc : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support seem to be responsive.

feralhosting.com  : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support are generally responsive.

seedhost.eu : OK.
Works well, but has traffic limitations.
However they do seem to have the cheapest plans.
If you exceed your allowance, speed is capped at 10 mbits/s until your reset date.
Support are assholes, pray you never need them.

www.appbox.co : POOR
No traffic limits.
Worked poorly, I tried deluge, rutorrent & qbitorrent.
I could not even log into QBT, the other two shut down torernts once downloaded.
I spent hours trying to track down why, going through every setting, never figured it out.
Support are unresponsive, often taking nearly a day to reply, even when the box was dead.
In the end, I installed their ubuntu app, then installed deluge on that (like a VPS). It worked, but not well.

In short, I'd stick with one of the first 3.
If price is a priority, then seedhost are a cheap option with traffic limits.

Feral is the only best seedbox company that uses public torrent trackers instead of private ones like us.

Ferals rutorrent will crash with too many public trackers, best to use deluge or transmission for public trackers.

Feral's rutorrent will crash if you add much over 700 torrents. Deluge will crash at about 600 torrents. I don't use Transmission.

I agreed to both, just making a 1000% confirmation on above notes, as I'm using 2 Seedbox in a row, and I had used different ones in the past with worst service they provide but still knowable, using rutorrents since many years (I recommend), had made many settings and tested them in different directions, badly, friendly, all react the same.

Just keep in mind, keep it under 75/76% usage, percentage concerns, not torrent counts as they might be bigger or lesser, no matter how big the files are, how many times you mute recent torrents and create new a one, the performance remains the same, no disturbance to box whether you stop last 10 torrents and keep 30/40 under queue while creating a torrent, treat it like it's 75% overall not 100%.

Cheers

3) I'm looking into mktorrent, I need to learn how to create torrent files on the command line. Yesterday, I prepared 90 torrents in 10 hours. It is possible to give feral linux commands. I started researching on this subject. Luckily, there is Google Translate.
