This is the first time that I have signed up for a Seed Box. I did a lot of research and looked around. I was looking for something cheap and good. I chose TorrentSwift because I wanted something very basic. So I chose the most basic package for $10/month. It gives 10GB of space, and 150GB of bandwidth.

I put in my order around noon in the day. Even though it advertises a 6 hour setup time, it took about half a day since I got my account info 9 hours later...most likely because I'm from the U.S. and maybe the company is in Europe.

When I got my account info, they just gave me a link to login to. You can access it using your web browser. I only had to enter in my user name and password. Even though I was supposed to only have 10GB of space, my account seems to have 30GB. I wasn't sure whether I could use that much, so I have used only about 13GB of space.

Uploading a torrent to use is as simple as downloading the torrent file to your computer and uploading it to that website. It will show up in the browser and you can start downloading immediately. You can set the upload and download speeds as well.

Speedwise, I was able to actually reach as much 4 Megabytes per second and 2 Megabytes per second upload on a single torrent. I think I can reach even more than that. 150GB of bandwidth may sound like a lot, but I've quickly learned how little it can be. In the past two days, I've reached over 100GB. Once you experience how fast you can upload with this seedbox, it is almost addicting to seed more and more. I already predict you will be looking at an upgrade or the next available package within a few days.

Bandwidth wise, it will count the bandwidth you use download and uploading through the web interface. A FTP account is included where you can download the files to your computer, but it seems like that bandwidth is counted towards your monthly usage. By the way, my FTP account wasn't working when they first setup my account, so I submitted a support ticket. I got a response in about an hour and it was working.

The interface you use in TorrentSwift is very easy to use and is more than enough for those looking to get their first seedbox. There was a time where the server load was abnormally at 100% (not because of me), but it really didn't interfere at all with my torrent transfers. The only minor details I would like to mention is that the web interface can be slightly slow sometimes, but is still very usable. Also, I heard that when you reach your bandwidth limit, it will still keep going. So you have to be a bit careful and plan in advance how much you are uploading/download and what ratio percentage to put.

$10 a month is very hard to beat for someone just wanting to get a taste of using a seedbox. Nearly all other seedboxes charge $15-$20 minimum. On the website, it shows that the next available package is the Power Seedbox package at $30 a month, and offers 600GB of bandwidth. The website doesn't show, but if you are looking for something in between, there is a Basic+ package for $20 a month which offers 300GB. If you want the Basic+ package, just sign up for the cheapest Basic package and then upgrade it to Basic+ after your account is setup.

This has definitely exceeded my expectations and am very happy with it. I was very skeptical at first in the reliablity, functionality, and performance of a seedbox, but would whole heartedly recommend it. TorrentSwift is now my choice seedbox and will continue to use it.

Speed of GUI: Decent

Price: Basic $10USD / Private Unmetered S $39.99
Overall rating: 8/10 - for the basic package and 8/10 for the Unmetered S

This was my first seedbox the GUI is simple and easy to use sometimes was slow but overall decent I used the 150GB's up in 2 days so I decided to upgrade and get the private seedbox Unmetered S package. Thats where the problems began. When I added torrents they hanged on starting, if the torrent actually did start it would freeze while downloading. I got lucky and a couple of torrents actually downloaded when I tried to cross-seed the torrent they froze on Verifying local files.

I opened up a support ticket they got back to me in a day telling me to go to "superadmin-admin-maintenance-repair" this did jackshit.

Told them it did nothing they replied and restarted the server everything was fine for about 30mins then the same problems occurred.

Sent another reply saying that the problems are still occurring, they said I was using all my ram (500MB) although the package says I can have unlimited active torrents. BIT MISLEADING!.
I currently have 2 torrents active how TF! is that using 500MB's of ram. Very unhappy defiantly going to find another host.


UPDATE~
I have fixed the ram issue. It seems like I had dead torrents clogging up the RAM god knows how the staff didn't spot this. Oh well.

Pathetic customer service. I cancelled my account a day after i signed up, ended up getting charged for the full month. Then i got to my email today, they are charging me again for another month, some how my account was set to monthly.. Complete crooks, they better refund me, completely inept.
