Seedbox VPS with torrents and Jellyfin
A seedbox downloads and seeds torrents on a fast server instead of your home connection, and a media server streams the results to your devices.
A seedbox is a remote server that downloads and seeds torrents for you, usually with a web interface and often a media server next to it. Bulletproof.to allows torrent clients, seedboxes, Jellyfin and Plex, does not act on foreign DMCA notices and gives you a KVM VPS from €22.99 a month, paid in crypto and without ID.
What it needs
- Memory
- 4 GB RAM or more
- Disk
- 40 GB or more
- System
- Debian 13
- Smallest plan
- Steel, €22.99 / mo
qBittorrent itself is light. Jellyfin asks for 4 GB or more, and the disk is what fills up, so add up to 100 GB of extra disk from the panel. Keeping several terabytes of media? Dedicated servers give you every disk in the machine and no traffic cap.
Ports to open
| Port | Used for | Open to |
|---|---|---|
| 6881/tcp+udp | Torrent traffic, the port you set in qBittorrent | Everyone |
| 8080/tcp | qBittorrent web interface | Only you |
| 8096/tcp | Jellyfin web and apps | Only you |
| 32400/tcp | Plex, if you use it instead of Jellyfin | Only you |
Set these in the free firewall in the panel, everything else stays closed.
Install your seedbox
1. Install qBittorrent without a desktop and a user for it
apt install -y qbittorrent-nox adduser --disabled-password --gecos '' qbtuser2. Start it as a service under that user
systemctl enable --now qbittorrent-nox@qbtuser3. Read the temporary web interface password from the log, then log in on port 8080 and change it
journalctl -u qbittorrent-nox@qbtuser | grep -i password4. Install Jellyfin with its official script and checksum
curl -fsSLO https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh curl -fsSLO https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh.sha256sum sha256sum -c install-debuntu.sh.sha256sum bash install-debuntu.sh5. Open Jellyfin on port 8096, point a library at the qBittorrent download folder
Commands from the official qBittorrent, Jellyfin docs, checked in November 2026. The project may change them, so look there if one fails.

Questions about hosting a seedbox
Are torrents allowed?
Yes. Torrent clients, seedboxes and media servers are allowed. Foreign DMCA notices are not acted on, the list in our acceptable use policy still applies.
Can Jellyfin or Plex transcode on a VPS?
Only slowly, there is no graphics card. Play files in their original format, or use clients that support it.
How much disk can I get?
Up to 160 GB on the biggest VPS plus 100 GB of extra disk. For more, a dedicated server with large disks is the better choice.
Is the traffic really unlimited?
There is no monthly cap and no charge per TB. The port is shared with other servers on the host, so a server that keeps it full for long stretches may be asked to slow down.
Do you need my ID or name?
No. You sign up with an account number, no email or ID is required, and you pay with Monero, Bitcoin, USDT or Litecoin.
Do you install it for me?
No, you get a clean server with full root access and install it yourself with the steps on this page. Support helps with the server, not with the app.
