Df is not using the Flash drive to increase upload speed.
He's moving files that he seeds in the long-term to the flash drive so that his mechanical drive doesn't suffer from excessive wear and tear when the seeded files are being read (a flash drive doesn't suffer wear and tear for read operations).

Those are dedicated seedboxes located in Sweden where the machine has a dedicated 100Mbps line just for seeding. Usually used only for private tracker torrents where you need to maintain a seed ratio.

Don't know too much about em. Not familiar with how private trackers operate.

It's just like renting a webhosting server in a datacenter except that the box hosts a torrent client and ftp service so you can retrieve your files.

Anyway, the swedish seedbox thing isn't very relevant after the crackdown on tpb.

As for private trackers, you have to find out yourself. There are different ways to get them from donations to invites or a combination of both.

Definitely useful.. I didn't have anything quite like this when I wired up my place.. Kinda rag-tag configuration as it is. No redundancies too. Fortunately, none of the drops actually gave any problems after all these years.

It is interesting to see that someone is excited to wire up their own house.

I am awaiting for the keys to my new house, and am excited about wiring up the entire apartment for that "smart home" concept albeit the fancy expensive gadgets.

Doing it dirt cheap will be quite tough. For starters, crimping your own cables will be the first giant step towards achieving that goal.

Well if anyone needs pointers, just holler. Kinda busy this week so the dedicated guide will have to wait a bit.

Not sure whether this is of any help. But I emailed Opennet with regards to the future fibre optics installation and how we could plan ahead.

Quote:
Attached are some suggestions on general guidelines which may be helpful to home owners who may be doing some renovations works within the Home.



1. Designate a Location:

(i) Designate a particular location, such as a designated closet, where all the telecommunication facilities can be installed within. This will facilitate connections and ensure that the installation can be performed presentably & neatly.





2. Ensure “Conduit or Path” To The Designated Location So That Fibre Can Be Installed



For Condominiums / HDBs / High Rise Residential Homes

(ii) Ensure or cater for an empty 20mm uPVC conduit or PVC trunking compartment to the above location (eg. The closet). The conduit should be installed in straight runs or be able to accommodate bending radius of the central line of the conduit not less than 100mm.

(iii) A draw rope shall be provided in the empty conduit so that the fibre cable can be installed subsequently.



For Landed Homes

Ensure 1 empty 50mm diamerter uPVC continuous lead-in and underground pipe to be provided from 1m beyond the roadside drain to the designated location.

Ensure that there is a draw rope in the empty conduit so that the fibre cable can be installed subsequently.



This will facilitate the installation of fibre into the home & near points of connection.



3. Ensure Accessories At The Designated Location Is Catered For

(iv) Install twin 13A power point/socket at the designated location (eg. Within the closet), so as to provide power to any equipment.

(v) Install RJ45 patch panel. No. of ports should be greater than the no. of rooms of units .



4. Internal Wiring / Cabling

(vi) Owners are encouraged to install Cat 6 cables for internal cabling from the patch panel to all rooms. This will ensure internal cabling connectivity.

Its important to note that Unshielded Twisted Pair (Cat 6) cables should not exceed 100m runs from the RJ45 patch panel to the RJ45 wall outlet.
