Tank Storage Plans

We have decided to retire the Tank Storage plans. If you already have one, don’t worry - NOTHING changes for you. We are just not accepting new Tank Storage orders. Tank Streaming plans are unaffected.

**New App Vault Plans (the Netherlands Only)**

We are introducing a new plan tier named App Vault. These new plans are for clients seeking more storage space at a highly competitive price. They offer the same applications and fantastic support as all our other HDD plans. There are just two differences, both related to traffic:

The monthly upload quota is slightly lower for App Vault vs. the same storage point on Tank Streaming.
The upload speed is throttled to 1gb/s. As with all plans, download speeds are never throttled.

Both storage and traffic are expensive commodities. App Vault is aimed at clients prioritizing storage space over traffic upload limits. So, it is an excellent choice for data hoarders who need more storage and are less concerned about how fast their torrent seeding is (torrent download speed is unaffected).

Q & A

Where can I see a list of the new plans?
Visit our homepage and scroll down to App Vault plans.
Who can purchase these new plans?
Anyone. These plans are open to new and existing clients.
What does the 1gb/s upload throttle mean?
This sets the upper limit on the upload speed, e.g., torrent seeding speed. It does not affect how fast your torrents will download.
Is App Vault right for me?
Unless you upload a lot of data and need unthrottled upload speed, YES! However, we recommend Bolt plans for heavy newsgroup (nzb) usage and for any other disk-intensive applications.
How do I upgrade?
Check out our upgrade guide.
Will you offer these plans in Canada or Singapore?
For now, no. We'll see how popular they are.

Recent OpenVPN issue

All clients who use the Ultra.cc OpenVPN should redownload the config files from the UCP. We have reissued the keys on some servers, that could cause connections to fail.

Stable/Launched Features

The left-hand menu in the User Control Panel (UCP) now has a link to our documentation site.
In addition, the Apps and Installers tabs of the UCP now have links to the relevant application documentation. We’ve also made some color changes to the buttons to make them look pretty!
ruTorrent and Nextcloud installers now inform clients of the dependencies on rTorrent and MariaDB, respectively.
Flaresolverr now has a new --version switch from app-flaresolverr install and app-flaresolverr upgrade, so specific versions can be installed.
In the UCP we have split AutoDL-Irssi and ruTorrent installers due to user confusion. They are now separate installers. If you’re using AutoDL-Irssi, you may want to consider AutoBrr as an alternative with a better UI.
- Clients who previously installed AutoDL-Irssi under the ruTorrent Actions menu will not see AutoDL-Irssi in the Apps tab. To fix, go to the Installers tab and reinstall.
The Jellyfin installer in the UCP now offers the choice of v10.8.3 (stable) and latest (beta). You may be aware that the latest versions of Jellyfin have had some issues that their developers are resolving. If you have Jellyfin v10.8.3 or lower already installed, you can only upgrade using app-jellyfin upgrade --version version-number from ssh.
We have replaced the bedok.usbx.me server in Singapore and moved all drives to a brand new server (still called bedok). This became necessary due to some drives periodically dropping out of service. The issue has not reoccurred since making the move, but we remain vigilant.
We have added a custom error message to ruTorrent to make it clearer when rTorrent needs to be restarted.

Beta Features

All clients are welcome to test these new features, but we do not offer formal support. Only install if you are prepared to accept some errors and instability. Unofficial support is available only in ⁠#discussion. Beta features may be removed without notice if serious issues are identified.

ruTorrent v4.3.2 is available for beta testing via ssh - more info in ⁠announcements.
qBittorrent v4.6.3 is available in the UCP as a beta installation option. Our guide will help you upgrade if you’re willing to be a beta tester.
Homarr beta is now installable from the UCP.
WebDAV protocol support via Nginx Webserver. You asked, and we listened. Please note that WebDAV WILL use your upload quota, the same as basic https.

Planned Features

We are planning on a program of work to upgrade all servers to Debian 12 (Bookworm). This will be our priority over the coming month.
Unique naming for Wireguard Configurations.
Uptime-Kuma for application monitoring.

We hope that you find this update useful. Thank you for remaining a loyal client.
