Setting it up is quite easy, especially if you use Buggyme's walkthrough on running uTorrent. However, if things get screwed up, Linux can be a pain to work with for an someone with little experience, and the VPS is unmanaged, so you won't get much help there.

However, for the price and speed, I'd say it's worth it if you can't afford a dedicated box.

yea i figured id follow the walkthrough and if things got messy there was enough people running it on here to be able to help.

I'm greatful for mine, but the HDD space is just not enough! I think I will hold on to this for a few months and get another company with over 100GB HDD space. Also, low RAM seems to have an effect. I use the VNC viewer a lot to get mu torrents up and going, so RAM and processor is a bottleneck (especially for hashing/checking torrents).
Otherwise, it is a great but. Price/speed is fantastic. Atso, the bandwidth is unmetered unlike many other companies.

I would recommend loading your torrents through the WebUI (setup is explained in Buggyme's tutorial). Don't have to deal with the lag of the VNC. Although it doesn't have all of the same features that are accessible in uTorrent, it's easier to deal.

i agree 100% with this comment, i got the firefox plugin and load them through webui, it is soooooo much easier that way and also faster

Normally, I too would agree. However, I am an uploader at Revtt. They have a bad system where you upload a torrent with the announce tracker set as tracker.revoluttion.net/announce.php. Then after you upload, you have to download the torrent again and rechack the file. So when I upload files to my server to seed to revtt, I have to recheck the files (i do it in vnc so that I can make sure it is saving to the right path). Also, If I download files from another site to upload to revtt, I need to create a torrent. To do that I need to be in vnc.

so do you continue to seed stuff off your normal connection and still seed off the leeware at the same time? im wondering simply because the site would show 2 ip or is that not a problem.

I don't use the files that I download from my box. I only use it to boost my ratoi. If I want something, I will download it directly.
