But I don't know what to get. I have about 20 a month to spend on it at most. That's about 40 dollars (or 30 euros) at most, lol.
I haven't used linux before but as long as their is a guide I wouldn't mind that much...
What's better to use utorrent or torrentflux? Are there guides to set them up?

*wonders*

leeware($35) for 1 month
keyweb.de if more than one month(19.90 euro but speeds much better)

What's the bandwidth for both of those? *wonders*

edit: tbh I don't think I'd like keyweb.de it's all in german so I'd get no support, and german emails, and a german OS.

Just bought a JMHservices one - mainly because everything is set up for you and the guy seems to allow bittorrent (so will probably be pretty helpful). ;)
just need to get myself on some better websites now. :D

This is from JHM Services web page


Seed Boxes

All JMHServices Seed Boxes come with a modified Torrentflux client fully installed and fully functional.


I dont know about other people, But i prefer to setup my own seedbox so i know what exactly is in it.

"Modified" isn't always a good thing when you consider it could be modified to cheat, Which would then give fake readings and you dont get full bandwidth offered.

Im not saying they are doing that, But its the internet after all, Can you really trust anyone? ;)

You can however, Trust yourself and respectable client providers like UTorrent (WebGui etc) :)

Edit: There isnt any reviews on WHT (http://www.webhostingtalk.com) either, I wouldnt buy from them until they have reviews posted in places when reviews are known to be decent.

leeware maybe 1-2MB unmetered(1-2TB fair use)
Keyweb.de 3-5MB unmetered (3TB)

lol, this is so dodgy. They tested my connection as soon as it was set up by downloading a dvdrip. :)
