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)
Oh sorry why wouldn't you recommend 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.
Get one of these http://pulsedmedia.com/clients/cart.php
just for you Thelen :-)

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.
Seriously, checkout usenet (astraweb is a good one). The sad thing is that a seedbox almost alwas cost more than astrawebs yearlyy deal (8$ a month) yet usenet requires no uploading back.... and is always max speed.

Xirvik and seedhost.eu are both good. Using one of their boxes is piss easy as they are pre set up.Quote:

Takes you minutes to set up vnc and a ftp client on your PC; download, install, input the info you get in the join mail. Seconds to get the hang of the browser ui's.
A few providers have short period trials or weekly rentals give one of them a try and see if you like it. Try a shared and a dedi box, then go with whatever suits you best.
