Don't touch this, I tried them and nothing worked. Took at least 7 mins to access the utorrent user interface and even then it took 5 mins to refresh.

When I tried to contact them nothing happened, I left mesage after message and when I finally left a nasty message, they accessed my hotmail account and spammed it.

It might seem attractive, because of the price, but you get what you pay for!

ive been with them for about a month now and only been able to log into my seedbox for less than half that time. first week and a half was great but then something happened and i wasn't able to log in from any computer at my house. They wouldn't respond to any messages for a week and a half. They said they are going to refund me for all the down time. so now im just waiting to see if they fix the problem or i have to cancel my account.

ive had this seedbox for about 2 days, the "new" dashboard wont let you rebuild the box, you have to do it manually....dont know how long thats gonna take. the speed is great in my opinion, over 40 gigs up in less than 20 hours. login works best with firefox....?
i did not see the problem where it took long to access the box though. less than 15 seconds.

$47 USD for 80GB?

Seriously? Am I missing something here? Why would you pick this over other providers?

OP - your post says 50GB, looks like the "solo" plan has increased to 80GB now. I'll be interested when it's like 200+GB!

EDIT: I just saw the post was made in 2008! Damn, still the same price but only 50-->80GB increase?

Yeah this provider is absolutely terrible. I really can't say enough bad things about these guys. I started out with them over a year ago when their plans were actually reasonable but even then there was about 20% downtime. In addition, their support team is obviously on vacation 6 days a week because it always took forever for them to get back to me. Things finally boiled over when I lost contact with my box for over a week, couldn't use FTP, webui, anything. It just dropped off the map and they never replied to my complaints. I cancelled my service and sent them a scathing message but I'm sure they never even read it. Please, do not use these guys.

I had a seedbox here for almost 2 years. For the first 18 month everything was great, good speeds, fast responses, and good price for what I was getting. But then about 6 months ago everything everything just went to hell. I has such a slow connection and no one answered my e-mails. So I finally shut down and went somewhere else.

I have to reccomend not going with these guys unless they change their act and go back to the way they used to be.
