just because its unmetered doesnt mean its worth the money, think about how many people they are throwing on one box, and Im sure that box is already using a shared hosting line. So in the end, if you could even get 10mbit worth of speed for any period of time I would be amazed.
Well as they say you get what you pay for so don't be suprised if it doesn't meet or exceed your expectations. Stick with one's that are tried and trusted.

If any one is wondering, they in my opinion, suck!! At first they were great then I had nothing but problems with hung applications and it restarting on me. the max connections for my srever they said should be under 50. The server load was alway high. Example i had 1 torrent running with 12 connection running at 150kbs and the server load was .86 I had to restart transfers form the server to my house at least three times to completely transfer a dvd. Had nothingt but problems and their server was down for a day before coming back up. Also i had to wait forever when i wanted to logon or check something but if they fix the problem in the near future it could be a decent seedbox but till then stay away.

FYI: Dont ever use a torrentflux service.
Why? There are only 2 available clients for torrentflux b4rt. Old transmission and bittornado. Bittornado is pure hell and you cannot have more than 1-2 people per server without major slowdowns. The latest transmission supported by torrentflux b4rt is an old outdated and banned client.
Thats expensive.You can get ur own dedicated with 2000gig bw with windows for 51$.
i just purchased 1.Go to webhostingtalk and go to the forums and dedicated offers.

just get you own host and install flux yourself i never trust any host who pre installs them for you usually they will not give you root access
I attempted to install the utorrent on one of my dedicated servers, but i failed and ended up having to wait 4 hours for the tech guy to re-start my machine lol.
im highly interested in this JMH hosting seed box deal.
Our base seed box. Offering you a good starter box with plenty of options at an economy price:What's included?
Wow, I wish I would Have Seen This. I just Happened To Get One Of Those SeedBoxes Seems, It loves to hang and stated webpage is unavailable and then shows 48 connections when it's only 1 person on it without any torrents.. It has been reported and I will dam make sure I get my funds back otherwise they will get shutdown for being stupid..Originally Posted by skamxxiii
Hello everyone, its nice to see that there is so much interest in seedboxhosting.com
Disclosure: I work for seedboxhosting.com
When SeedboxHosting.com launched we had an unexpected demand for seedboxes and during this time a failing hard drive went unnoticed for some time. It ended up bringing a whole server down and was a headache for a number of customers. This has long been fixed and we now use hardware Raid cards (raid 5) to minimise risk of hardware failure.
We have great speeds, many happy customers, and if there is a problem it is fixed right away. We have never had a dispute with a customer because we give full refunds to anyone who doesn't totally love our service (although most customers end up finding they can't live without it.)
We are growing quickly and have been forced to have a long waiting list that seemed to be never ending, rather than overload each server with too many customers.
We have since received new funding and have been buying more and more multi-core servers with fast hardware raid and putting them on our own dedicated bandwidth (not shared).
Through our fits and starts we have learned a lot and decided to focus on one thing and do it well - making seedboxes available to anyone that are easy to use over the web.
We don't provide w$ndows or remote desktop. We run only lean Linux servers and each customer gets their own private installation (no one else can slow you down). However, we do not require our users to know anything about Linux. If you can use Gmail or Hotmail, you can use our seedboxes.
We do provide the very latest torrentflux interface and backend torrent clients. At the time of this writing that means torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta-2 and Transmission 1.11. We have found Transmission to be great for low memory usage and easy on server resources. We are always upgrading this software to the very latest available because private trackers tend to ban older clients.
Our customers privacy is very important to us, therefore we spent a lot of time designing our database and systems to work in a way that does not keep any data connecting a user's information or Paypal subscription to a server or IP address. Our customers can request a new seedbox and IP address any time they want. The old seedbox is immediately reformatted, reinstalled and put back into the cue. Our customer gets a fresh seedbox and brand new IP address without any extra charge. It is too bad that media giants are choosing to sue their own customers. Seedbox Hosting customers can't get sued because information connecting IP address to our customers does not exist.
If you want to set up your own seedbox, there are many great companies to get a server from, especially if you know how to administer servers and install software remotely.
What we provide is a bit different - a seedbox all set up and ready to use over the web without the hassle of setting it up yourself.
If anyone remains unconvinced that we are legit, PM me and i will be happy to set you up with a free trial seedbox.
Cheers,
-=nathan
