I heard you can easily make 2 user accounts on leeware. If this is true would anyone want 1\2 a leeware?

easy, log into root.

adduser username

passwd username (it will now ask for a password + verifiction)

after that with putty login using the new user

type: vncserver :2 (now you can quit putty)

login with vnc, you should see a console, type:
wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe

now at the same console type: wine utorrent.exe

Configure utorrent and off you go! With all this being said, those leeware servers are really slow, 2 people on that VPS will be a pain to say the least.

would sharing it make it even slower than non shared?

IE unshared i get 1MB(example) would i get about 500 x2 shared??

I believe thats correct. It would be the same as your home connection.

Run a speed test without anything running and you get full speeds.
Set up a torrent client to download at half your connection speed and then run a speed test and you will have half the speeds.

ok i thought you meant it would be way slower ie 200x2 vs 1000x1

well, dont forget u get only 20gb HDD on leeware, so that makes 10gb for one user.

Sharing leeware seem to me the equivalent to sharing dialup.

It's actually doable when speeds are bursting at "ok" levels. You should not expect it to be good anyhow.

Given the size of leeware HDD and the costs of having a leeware box, why would you bother sharing?

Because his "customers" don't pay no more then 10$..
