ive had seedboxes for about a year now, xirvik for about 7 months and then rapidpeer for the past 2 months. Xirvik was great, i had an OVH shared box/package there and it often times maxed out the 100mbit (doing 11-12 MB/sec)
i only do private torrent sites like ipt and bitme so for me ive always found NO other data center even comes CLOSE to OVH for speeds. if you are doing private that is.
Im in the US and everyone knows OVH has not so good peering to outside their large private network (ive read they have like 100k server and are one of the largest DCs in the world) so when i read about turboFTP at RapidPeer it seemed like the perfect solution for OVH's slow peering to the US and rest of the world essentially. this is why i switched from xirvik a few months ago (i cant afford 2 even shared seedboxes). that and RapidPeer was a small bit cheaper.
anyway the turboftp maxes out my ftp connection in both directions (i have 20mbit cox modem) and i can also do ftp to my actual seedbox at the same time from another colo box i have and thats fast too..its pretty cool feature. it does look liek xirivk now has tons of new features they must have added after i left a few months ago..like LOTS of features and addons, but no turbo ftp type feature.
ive also read a lot of bad stuff about rapidpeer around but i guess ive been luck or they have cleaned up their act recently
