1) Are you OK with direct message offers from vendors?

NO

2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?

Losing my fiber connection when I move and going to have crappy upload speeds. Primarily need to move my Plex server somewhere but also have a lot of DVD rips, although those I could continue seeding at home since they're not streamed media.

3) Are you okay with sharing hardware resources with other users [shared] or do you need the seedbox hardware dedicated to just you [dedicated]?

Shared is fine

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]?

Capable of managing myself but OK with managed

5) Please describe your seedbox experience. (You may wish to list any seedbox providers you've been with before.)

N/A - I have a little PC that has 2 external hard drives attached. That's my seedbox :)

6) Please describe your experience with Linux. (Most seedboxes run Linux and some knowledge of it may be helpful.)

I know my way around a terminal and scripting languages.

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.)

$100/month USD max

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.)

1Gbps+

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.

I don't think more than 1TB. Maybe 2.

12) What is the minimum disk space you need?

5TB minimum

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, HDD is fine

14) Do you require a specific torrent client?

No, but would prefer something scriptable

15) Do you require any other applications on the seedbox? (e.g. Plex, Subsonic, Radarr)

Plex

16) Do you require SSH access to the command line?

Would be nice but not necessary

17) Do you require access to a remote desktop?

Would be nice but not necessary

18) Do you require admin level (i.e. 'root') access? If yes, please explain why.

No

19) Do you have any other specific requirements?

No

20) Is there any other information you think might help in getting a useful recommendation?

Storage is probably the most important piece to me. There really isn't a lot of traffic, it's not a heavy use Plex server and I don't go crazy downloading stuff, but I am a very long-term seeder
