Overall rating: 10/10

I've used three different companies including Gamestuff and Gamestuff by far has been the best. The support always has been top notch and quick when needed. They are also adding new features on the support side (MIRC and so forth ) and you can always talk to Gamestuff here or on MSN. The box is very stable and haven't had issues with it. Speeds are top notch and excellent and the torrents I've jumped on at the right and that are very popular go blazing fast. The way I've treated in my dealings with Gamestuff have always been 100 percent professional and they really do care about the customer . Also their boxes are top notch and very reliable and the speeds are always good for me (and I've used three different plans from them due to upgrading). You don't need to look else where and I certainly won't. If you like top speeds , excellent support and a company that will listen to you and treat you with professionalism and respect look no further than Gamestuff.

I've just signed up for the Super L337 plan. $60 USD a month.
I am also using Neon 2 with Feral Hosting at the same time.
I shall compare both and will update this post with my findings.

Edit:
I received login details 5-6 hours after making the order and began testing the box.

Findings so far
- Speeds are good; download speed peaked at approx 10MB/s on well seeded torrents. Jumped early on some new torrents with 1/2/3 Seeders with download peaking at 1MB/s. (Having read review by other people this not actually very good)
- Upload peaked at 1.2MB/s on torrents with lots of leechers.
- FTP speeds are alright with a max of 5mbs, i was expecting more with it being a 1gig connection in comparison to Feral hostings 100mbs which SFTP speeds averaged 2-3mbs.

One thing I found frustrating is that RuTorrent was really unresponsive with torrents being added to the tracker 15-20 seconds slower.
Also at one point when I was downloading 3 torrents at the same time an error message showed something that I did't write down but I think it was do to with the HDD not being able to write fast enough and there not being enough ram to buffer it.

Edit: So its been 6 days so far I have uploaded approx 557gigs, which at this rate, over a 30 day month would work out to be 2.784TB.
Consider that with Neon 2 slot i've managed 2.5TB in a month which costs just under half as much as the Gamestuff L337 seedbox.

Some comparsions
Neon 2 100mbps connection. 500GB HDD. Capped at 2.5 TB upload. (download unlimited) @ $25USD/month
L337 1Gbs connection. 625GB HDD. Capped at 2.5 TB but internal OVH bandwidth is unmetered. @ $60USD/month

So i've opened a suppport ticket and will update with Gamestuffs response.

This is what I wrote on the tcket

rTorrent has crashed and i've tried restarting it with the webui but its not working. Edit(rTorrent has started again) Webui now won't load either. edit (webui has now loaded)
While i'm here i wanted to say that i'm not happy with the speeds that i am seeing. Having read reviews posted by others my box seems to be under performing. I rarely see upload speeds more than 1.5MB/s and i rarely see download speeds greater than 10MB/s. I am looking for a long term seedbox partner and from reviews i have read you guys have been praised for your customer service. I am hoping that the praise is not unfounded. To put into context I am currently running a Neon 2 box with feral hosting which i have just hit the 2TB cap with over a week left in the month. I've now hit the cap 3 months in a row and was looking for a more suitable box for my needs. At the current rate my gamestuff seedbox would only reach 2.7TB in a month. I reiterate that i am looking for a long term seedbox partner but am disappointed with the performance of your seedbox. Feral Hostings customer service may really suck but apart from once i've never needed any support from them. If the performance i am seeing from your Super L337 box is what should be expected than i will go else where at the end of the month. Out of courtesy I am letting you know and hopefully you will get back to me with a positive solution. Thanks

I am waiting for a response

How quickly are you getting on torrents? Are you auto downloading cause I've been getting excellent speeds

Yeah i'm jumping on new torrents. Put it this way i've been neglecting my Neon 2 box since i got the Gamestuff seedbox and despite that i've already uploaded 2TB this month.
For a 1Gbps seedbox with Gamestuff to be outperformed by a 100Mbps seedbox from Feral Hosting is a bit of a shock. To think that i have loaded 'Hot' torrents onto the Gamestuff and have been putting relatively 'Cold' torrents onto the Feral Hosting one i smaking me think that my Gamestuff seedbox is not running as it should.
