    I would strongly recommend not buying a seedbox. (also your post isn't in the right section)

    But some suggestions to answer your question:
    1) Buy a windows server box
    2) Buy a seedbox with utorrent already installed. (doesn't matter what os then)
    3) Buy a seedbox with another torrent client with a web gui

    It's been a while since I've used the utorrent web gui, But I have heard that it has undergone some major improvements.
    Also Ftp just stands for File Transfer Protocol (you should try running filezilla server and client to get some experience with it)

    there are lots of providers that are easy to use. if you want a windows drag and drop interface though you'll have to pay a lot more as windows isn't free. but, the normal rutorrent/deluge type interfaces might be good enough.

    anyway, check out pulsedmedia.com or bytesized-hosting.com both have personal support and very simply interfaces.

    If a noob is looking for a seedbox I dont think a managed server that can be split up and resold would be a valid suggestion.

    I mean what is your real reason for wanting a seedbox?

    I know personally I run my an old computer in my basement with an ftp server, windows shared file, utorrent, and even host a web page off it.
    I have remote desktop to it via logmein.com and I've never once had a problem. Basically it's a home server.

    I'm able to maintain good ratios on all of my sites with my current setup; therefor in my current situation I see little use for a seedbox. (as I basically run one...)
    My setup (now that I look back on it) is a bit overkill due to my torrent addiction, but I'm sure utorrent running on my main computer could maintain my ratios.
