nah, you don't have to be some of those serious dudes out there to be a customer of this server. I myself, don't encode often but I convert little files for testings but since they're not from my DVD, I don't like them flying around in my home PC's HDD lols, so I do them in the non-existed HDD of mine (my RDP from ArDown)

I have used his test account from other server and speed for HF/MU was 12 mbps download and upload.
Speed to RS was just 2-3 mbps.

Gr8 support and best services.

My Review

I'm currently a customer of ArDown on one of his servers (not this one, but I tested this one). I get great response times from this server, no lagging ( ). The server is in US as he mentioned and therefore there are some minor effects of speed decrease per connection to EUR filehosting sites like RS, NL BUT if you run a many files at once, you can get upto a total speed of 13MB/s or more. I tried running 46 files at once, each maxing at 400KB/s. So if you add all up, it's still pretty fast speed . For US based filehostings such as HF, it's awesome. I get 40MB/s and beyong. See the screenshots below.

The server's CPU is amazing for encoding too (IMO). I tried encoding a sample of 1080p source and with or without filter, I still got reasonable amount of CPU usage !!! I think you'll like it if you're are worried about how the CPU will handle the conversions.

Audio conversion (5.1 chnls, HQ)





Video conversion (using a heavy filter)





Video conversion (without filter, notice the speed! It's really fast compared to the filtered one)





Raring test of an 8GB file, I think the speed is reasonable. 2mins in total.





Here is the unraring of that 8GB file. Again it's also not so bad.





Filehosting upload speed tests.











Oh, you wanna check out my sample encode! Here it is, it's meant for a 1.46GB release with 6 chnls HQ audio.

@n4pst3r, are those regular convert or filtered? Seem to need more bitrates when viewing from an LCD
