As my first foray into seedboxes I couldn't be more happy with it. It's easily one of the cheapest packages I've seen and therefore ideal for those who wish to dip their foot in the seedbox pond.



Two days after purchasing I e-mailed to see what the status of my order was. In reply I got sorry for delay, here's a £2 refund for your troubles. A nearly 30% discount for two days wait!

Speeds are brilliant. Seen torrents maxing out the 100Mbit pipe at 10.8MB/s. Never had a swarm good enough to really see how far the upload could do.
I can pull files off the FTP at my full downpipe speed. But, that is only 5Mbit so can't really comment if it's faster than that.

Support extremely good. Fast response and always happy to help out. He reconfigured the box to work with transdroid for me. As well as good maintenance updating to latest ruTorrent etc.

So in conclusion it's definitely not for the heavy user. But, 600gb seems plenty for someone just starting out (it has been for me so far). The higher packages pricing seem a bit on the high side to me. But, I think I shall upgrade to the SharedXL next month.

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to see what a seedbox would do for them.

Wow, you clearly did much more research than me and your selection is £3 cheaper. That said I've found seedunlimited to be very good for my needs.
100GB, 100mbps speeds & Unlimited no. of Torrents for £9.95 a month.

As a newbie to seedboxes I think I've found the perfect one for me, although less than 4 days of having it I've used my 100GB's and now think I'll want to expand to a bigger service. I find rutorrent familiar to navigate & it was up and running within half an hour.
I'd rate 8/10 but that is just due to me wanting more space for the same cash - wishful thinking of course! :)

Bad times. How long ago did you first try? I've had mine less than a month.

Upgrading to the SharedXL package. Shall post review after a week or so living with it.
