Why Romania

The Romania case for Offshore seedbox

Romania is an EU member but the Constitutional Court has struck down data-retention legislation twice (2009 and 2014), holding that bulk retention violates the Romanian constitution. The result is a unique posture inside the EU: full GDPR rights without mandatory traffic logging. Bucharest network is well-peered with Eastern Europe, has competitive bandwidth pricing, and tolerates DMCA-weighted workloads better than most western European jurisdictions. Common pick for seedboxes, scraping infrastructure, and Tor relays.

DMCA takedowns have no force in our four jurisdictions; we file them and move on. Inbound and outbound torrent traffic isn't shaped, peer counts aren't capped, and the unmetered uplink is real (1 Gbps on Starter, 10 Gbps on Scale and dedicated). For a serious seedbox you want 10 Gbps and at least 240 GB of NVMe — vps-business is the entry point most of our seedbox customers settle on.

Sysadmin FAQ

Offshore seedbox in Romania — questions answered

Will I get DMCA notices forwarded to me here?

Only if it's escalated by a court order in one of our jurisdictions (rare — Switzerland is the only one where the threshold is regularly met for a specific media work). Standard rights-holder notices are filed and not forwarded; we don't want them clogging your inbox.

How much disk for a real seedbox library?

Depends on retention. For a 90-day private-tracker H&R compliance: 240 GB on vps-business is enough for ~3,000 active torrents at average size. For a year of public-tracker seeding: vps-pro's 400 GB or scale up to ded-shield with 2× NVMe in mirror.

What about uploading or scraping public trackers?

Both fine — there's no rate-limit on outbound. Public-tracker seeding burns more bandwidth than private but our uplinks aren't metered, so it doesn't matter operationally.

Which offshore location has the best peering for European trackers?

Netherlands (Amsterdam) for global tracker swarm reach. Romania (Bucharest) for Eastern European trackers and slightly cheaper bandwidth costs. Iceland for very large libraries you don't want anywhere on EU soil.

Do you allow Plex / Jellyfin / Emby on top of the seedbox?

Yes — many customers run a Plex/Jellyfin layer on the same box. CPU-light for direct play, heavier for transcoding (in which case vps-pro or scale is the right pick). Streaming the library externally is allowed; we don't cap concurrent streams.
