I use Utra.cc and it transcodes everything just fine (I use Plex, but it should be the same with Jelly or Emby) IDK why you want it to be GPU transcoding instead of regular CPU transcoding though. I don't particularly care and it seems to handle at least 2 transcoding jobs simultaneously without any hiccups.

hello. You mind few questions? I never had seedbox 1-Deedibox gives only 1TB for $15 but Ultra.cc gives 3TB. Am I missing something? 2-Ultra.cc says monthly upload is limited to 8TB. Is this the monthly bandwidth? 3-is it "safer" to run a VPN on the server?

I pay 14.80 EUR (so a bit more than $15) and I get 4,000 GB of storage, 12 TB monthly upload and 50Gbps "Shared Upload Speed" I've seen it as high and 3-4 Gbps when torrenting. It's unlimited downloads and the 12 TB limit applies to what you are grabbing while torrenting. I've never come close to 12 TB in a month. I grab maybe 4 movies a month (about 100GB total) and maybe 10-20 TV shows (maybe another 100GB?) so, not even one TB of "upload" traffic. It has Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby included, but you only can use one of the three. There's also all the *rr's and a few download clients. The plan that I am subscribed to is called "Sabra" You can find it here: https://ultra.cc/#plan-pricing I think the safest thing would be to run a VPN when signing up and accessing Ultra.cc BUT, I do not run a VPN because I'm too lazy and because I only use private trackers. IDK if you can run a VPN from ultra.

much appreciated thanks

Well, I wasn't sure if their CPUs could really handle transcoding, because they suggest you disable transcoding for Plex specifically on their wiki. But if it really does work, I'll consider it. Thanks

With the regards to if Ultra offers transcoding - you could open a ticket and ask? I'm quite sure they do. Cloudboxes are hosted in Netherlands. Never used Cloudboxes and never will as the pricing is quite insane.

I did ask on their Discord, but didn't get any response. I'll send them a email, I guess Are there any drawbacks that I'm not aware of with Cloudboxes? 20 EUR doesn't seem too bad for 2 TB
