On Feb 23 I bought a slot for a seed box from a company called Rapidleechhosting.net (I know untrustworthy name, but they looked legitimate) My box got set up pretty quickly, which was awesome. I bought a box that had RUtorrent, instead I received Transmission. I little odd, I would of preferred RUtorrent but I can get over this, they later told me that RUtorrent was broken and they were looking into it. I played around with it a bit but was not getting the speeds I thought I would get. I was told wait a bit and try latter to see if my speeds got better. After a couple days my speeds got no better, I accepted this as I did not pay too much for this box.

I left a ticket support about the speeds and was told that I was lying, and that they tried downloading something on the box and received 50mb/s. I was then told that he bets me $100 that I will get these speeds when I download. I told him that was a silly thing to bet on and that i was looking for some help not a bet. That ticket was removed latter that day.

on Feb 30th my seed box went down. I emailed support and got no response, I left a ticket on the third and got got told it was still up, it clearly was not. I left another ticket saying that my seed box is down and really would like to have it working. on the 6th I finally got fed up and requested a refund. I got a response that told me he is getting 13mb/s down and that I should give it a try and that I will like it.

A couple days later I decided to request a refund with through PayPal. This ended poorly for me as servers are not tangible items thus there is no proof that it is working or not. I tried to explain that you can try connecting to it but that got me nowhere. I then tired with my credit card company and they gave me the same response.

So I dumb out of luck and have run out of options to try to fix this situation. The only thing I can do at this point is warn other of this host.

Take what you want from this: I have learned from this experience that you should spend a great deal of time looking for how reputable a company is before buying from them. I did do some research but I took the first couple reviews I saw and jumped on board, I should of looked harder as it looks like I’m not the only one who has had problems with them.

Those bastards ripped someone off that I know and he never even got his logins from them.
A month later they even had the cheek to email him and say his seedbox was due for renewal and to make payment etc.
Total mo fo's and stay away from them.

I didn't Find a review on them here, I did find their posting in the advertisement section. Hopefully this thread will keep some others from being scammed.
