I've been looking around for awhile at different companies trying to find the best one to fit my needs (50GB and a fair price) I have found the speeds to be quite fast as well, they are a newish seed-box company so I don't believe they have enough customers yet to be worried about overselling. I would definitely recommend to anyone that is new to owning a seed-box or is tired with others. I only gave it a 9/10 because the only support offered is via email, which some may thing is too slow but my emails are normally answered within the hour.



EDIT:

They now offer live chat support.

I'd be a bit wary about going with this provider. The proprietor (link: http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedb...seedboxes.html) is 14 years old, had an account here and got banned (link: http://www.torrent-invites.com/proce...-accounts.html) for making dupe accounts. He was also involved in some ratio cheating shenanigans (link: ratio master (ratio hacking program) HELP!!!!) and his explanation seemed a bit dubious to me. I would personally seek out a seedbox provider with a less...colorful history.

Wow. Colourful history is right. But, he seems to just be a iseedbox.net reseller (all be it not the best). The support and company size is to large and professional to be owned by a 14 year old.

I am far from an expert on the ins and outs of seedbox business models, but it was my understanding that many seedbox providers were resellers of, say, OVH. Does iseedbox.net have its own resellers? They don't resell OVH or another provider? In the post linked above, the banned member said that he was offering a new seedbox service--iseedbox.net. How does that make him a reseller? If I am mistaken about that and he was simply a rogue reseller, I apologize for the mistake.

In any event, I am glad that it sounds like you have had a good experience there. Based on what I saw on this board, I still believe that caveat emptor is a good policy when considering this provider.

Thank for bringing this to my attention. To the best of my knowledge they resell OVH, and Server.lu. It's quite possible users could be reselling their service, impossible to say though. I personally just don't see how it could be run by a 14 year old, alone. I agree, caveat emptor is a good policy for many if not all seedbox services if not all online services in general.

Sure, agreed. Always best to be careful when parting with your dollars (or Swiss francs or what have you). I'll let the links I provided speak for themselves with regards to areas of concern with this particular tributary in the stream of e-commerce.

I went with the Cheap plan and for the first few days it was okay. But after that it went down hill. In a little over a week the server died at least 3 times. The FTP seeds where horrible not to mention the FTP didn't work 90% of the time. I also noticed in the torrentflux-br4t RSS feed that there were 25+ users on the server i was on which is over kill. When I emailed him about the FTP not working he told me it was my problem not his and told me to use filezilla which i was already using. Over all it wasn't even worth the $5 that I paid.

i like the pricing but I have to listen to the people before me. Thank you for your reviews./
