Thread: Whatbox.ca

Does anyone have any experience using whatbox.ca they could share?

I'm thinking about getting my first seedbox and have seen whatbox mentioned a few times but no actual reviews from searches I've done. (mods: my apologies if this is a duplicate thread, if it is please remove)

i recently got a whatbox.ca account, and so far things have gone flawlessly. the speeds are excellent- ive seeded hundreds of gigabytes in only a few days on multiple trackers. The transfer from the seedbox's storage space is easy- i use FTP but HTTP is just as convenient. i have the $15 a month package, and i honestly am thrilled with the purchase. also i pay by the month- so its basically pay-as-you-go which is nice, and if you don't like it you can easily just finish the month and wash your hands of it. which i highly doubt you will be doing, if your experience is anything like mine

Since nobody has reviewed Whatbox, i figured id take the initiative

Name: Whatbox
Speed: 150 mbps upload/download
Support: 10/10
GUI: rTorrent
Speed of GUI: 9/10
Package: Flex 1 (because im broke)
Price: $15 (pay by the month plan)
Overall rating: 10/10

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience with Whatbox- I may be cheap and only have the Flex 1 plan, but I get 1.5TB of traffic and 150GB of storage space for a very reasonable price. The speeds have been excellent; many of my trackers are the bottleneck, not the seedbox itself. (I've personally hit To download the files to your own PC, you have the choice of HTTP, FTP, and SSH, all of which have worked flawlessly for me. The support forums are comprehensive and were very helpful when I first purchased my seedbox, which made the transition easier. Overall I highly recommend Whatbox to anyone; I wasn't sold on a seedbox for a long time until I moved 100GB in one day and realized how much my ratios could improve, even on tough trackers like what.cd and torrentleech.

What were your peak download/upload speeds on some torrents?

ive hit 20 down and 5 up- from what ive seen. im fairly certain ive hit faster upload speeds- ill keep my eye out for a specific number

Tried to login. Getting an error. Just gave away an e-mail pointlessly. I hope no one will use it to send me a stupid adds. I'm not believing this review now. Avoid!

you may need an account to log in. im not sure, but i have an account and ive had no problems, even when i just tried. don't avoid whatbox because of a single error- thats not a fair evaluation

Ive used whatbox now for a few days, AWESOME 9.0/10.0!
Some features that are not mentioned on the front page:
1. RSYNC - command line utility to move files from one server to another (useful if you are switching seedboxes).
2. Free move from old seedbox - the staff will move all your old files from your old seedbox to whatbox for free (give them a few days though).
3. Excellent support - using a ticketing system, responses in usually an hour or less.
4. Archive extractor - unzip and unrar from the command line.
5. Transcoding - can transcode FLAC (music) files to MP3
6. SSH, HTML, FTP - need i say more?
7. An Android app - access rutorrent from your Android phone.
8. Xseed - a script which allows you to batch modify torrent files.

I would recommend this site to anyone, ive only had it less than a week, but ive been dedicated and cant get away from it since i started reading the wiki with all the features (must have an account and logged in to read wiki):

+1 for WhatBox, Ive been with them for a while now and its 10/10 for me
They go the extra mile to make everything as easy as possible for people that are new to seedboxes. speeds ive seen are 9.0 up/down at the same time.
I cant wait to try out the new Flex plans.


silentninja has no idea what he is talking about. You cant log in without creating an account
and if you created an account and cant log in its completely your fault.
