$80 seems a little steep! Manā¦ Maybe I need a seedbox or something to go along with mineā¦ idk.
80 is cheep considering its not capped. it is limited upload at 500mbps but still not bad. and ovh is the best when it comes to getting shit fixed when itās not working as it should.
Hah, dtech is my spokesman. He turned me on to this tier after hetzner didnāt deliver the goods. Itās way worth it, at least for my needs. Once I have all my stuff in the heavens, I will scale down to a lesser-priced server.
Well fortunately (or not, depends on how you look at itā¦) I have a dedibox from Online.net, a seedbox from Feral, and my VPS from Hetzner. I get great download speeds from Hetzner, and great uploads speeds to Google Drive, but Amazon on both Feral and Hetzner are hitting about 3MB/s on four files, which is still in the KB range on each individual file. I must have done something to make them throttle uploads to my ACD, since Iāve tested upload speeds on Hetzner and Feral (Online.net is next I just have to get it all setup.) I wonder what my options are?
yeah, something has to be up. I just rented a Feral Neon slot (20GB network and the smallest ssd) and didnt even install rtorrent on it. I just copied in my bin dir which included rclone and scripts and started syncing files from google drive to acd:
4 transfers at a time:
2016/11/05 20:30:53
Transferred: 16.372 GBytes (21.451 MBytes/s)
I decided to push it with 20 transfers at a time:
Transferred: 34.012 GBytes (72.333 MBytes/s)
20 a couple of minutes later:
2016/11/05 20:48:02
Transferred: 77.194 GBytes (101.148 MBytes/s)
Looks like the highest I can get on that slot is about 120MB/s.
Weāll see how long this lastsā¦I only have like 7TBs to sync.
Iām confused, wouldnāt rclone use Googleās upload bandwidth to move files from Google Drive over to ACD?
Itās using googles download limit and ACDās upload limit. Iām at about 130MB/s now for the 20 files. I have to assume itās a per file limit.
Gdrive ----> ACD
Thatās what I thought, was just curious why you rented a Feral slot in order to do it is all. One quick question for you (or whoever) my ACD mount and Drive mount tend to drop after some time. How do you account for this? Is there a script or something? I thought this issue was more specific to acd_cli and not rclone.
I havenāt seen mine drop. Are you running the code from the repo? I pull mine right from the git repos.
The reason for the feral slot is that my normal server is limited to 250Mbs upload unless I shell out about 75 euros.
For these 20Tb tranfers it makes sense for me. I might eventually move to a normal OVH with the 500mbs uploadā¦ It would be about 30 euros more a month but less ram and disk. Weāll see what black Friday brings.
Iāve been using beta versions. Itās strange because I have the same version running on a machine at home and itās never dropped. The version Iām using is rclone v1.33-85-g6846a1cĪ²
I pull right from the git repo so I update pretty much with every change to it.
With amazon.co.uk now offering ACD (and have been for a while), has anyone noticed a difference in speeds to using the UK offering over the American offering, in terms of upload speed, and streaming speed?
Iām on the ACD .com, and it works well for the most part, but being in Europe the .co.uk account might suit me better.
Wow, this thread has grown so much! I didnāt think ACD would garner so much interest.
As an update, Iām still using acd_cli with encfs and itās working well. Iāve got over 10TB of encrypted media uploaded and have about 10 users streaming from my PMS. There hasnāt been a single drop in performance since I started.
One problem Iām still trying to resolve is deleting files off ACD. I wish there were an easier way to find the file, then delete it. Currently, I have a python script that converts the plaintext name of the media to encfs, then does an āacdcli findā. Next step is to have the option for the script to delete the file after finding it.
Other than the above irritation, Iāve sorted out all of the snags through scripting, itās not ideal but it works.
Iāve tested rclone and it works well too. I think at this point it really depends on your preference and how much youāve committed to either solution, as to which one to use.
Just noticed v1.34 got released over the weekend, which adds a number of the features discussed above that were only in the beta releases. Going to give it a go.
Is there a complete guide to installing this on my dedi? Iām not that good with linux.
Maybe @RXWatcher could share his setup? 
I have an āunlimitedā gdrive bought off eBay idling empty, and Iād like to try it out and move stuff in the cloud. Iām taking about around 10TB of media.
@JMSolo said he might add it in a future version, but I guess I need it sooner. Iām running out of space.
I have a limited online 1gbit server, so continous upload @1gb might not be the best move, and could get me flagged, Iād like an option to limit my upload to say 300mb, if possible.
Thank you guys!

I too would love to see a beginners guide to setting this up. Iām a complete newb.

So in theroy, I could have AMAZON stream my shows, not the box? This is hugeā¦ that means I can have my box anywhere and still get the best speeds.
using rclone or acd_cli you would not be streaming from amazon you would be streaming from your server. but you can still use it anywhere.
Working flawlessly using this https://bitbucket.org/gesis/plexacd
Just gotta find a box with low storage, decent bandwidth, fuse, and unionfs
