Hi I'm thinking about getting a seedbox.My internet connection is not superfast and it would help for my trades for Europe cause postage from the us is to much to Europe.My question is I want some recommendations on some good ones.Would like to pay between 10 and 15 dollars US a month at most.
Basically want the best bang for my buck.

Re: seedboxes
I've used seednet.eu and seedstuff.ca and have been really happy with both.
You can read a lot of good honest reviews about various seedbox providers here: http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedbox-discussions/

This sounds pretty good how long does it take some one to download a typical 4.7 dvd-5(I know most shows are under this size unless its two dvds or dual layer) once you have it on the seedbox and can send them the torrent file.
I only have so much money with family and all so I dont wana break the bank but this is the price I pay almost for one trade of about 10 dvds or so if I send them to Europe so this sounds like it would be worth it.
Also for ratio building and the VPN.
thanks everyone for the replies and help/.

Re: seedboxes
Shop around the link that SJ provided. Find a seedbox that has good reviews and meets your criteria and most importanly budget. Almost all seedbox servers are located in the Netherlands or France with a few exceptions and I still get very fast speeds downloading to my local PC via FTP.
Depending on the number of seeders, any where from a few minutes to hours to download a show.

Re: seedboxes
If you have an uploader with low speed, the seedbox brings nothing. But if you get an uploder with high speed it is great to download a torrent. I tried 2 seedboxes right now: seedhost.eu and seedboxes.cc
Ok seedboxes.cc is more expensive but I think for myself it makes more speed.....
Ok I use a seedbox but the question is: isn't it better to seed without a seedbox? Back to he roots????

Re: seedboxes
I think the speed of downloading from the seedbox would depend on the speed of your home connection.I have 60MB home connection,and the fastest i'ved d/led at from my seedbox is just over 1MBps.Seednet also support FXP transfers,so if you have access to another fast server,transfers between the 2 will be blisteringly fast.

Re: seedboxes
as a rule i dont go for the seedbox package with the most speeds.
to be honest even with a basic package your speeds will be far better then standard internet connection and unless your a heavy downloader your wasting your cash.
also note your transfers from your seedbox to your pc and vice versa will only transfer as fast as your home internet connection will allow so even if you download very very quickly you will still have to wait for the transfer to your pc to finish.
i myself have a box.
i get 10mb up and 10mb down constant speed and have around 700gig storage space with Unmetered bandwidth.
and my ratio here is good enough.
my ration on another site for instance is Ratio: 32.71 Uploaded: 10.226 TB Downloaded: 320.176 GB so the speeds are good enough for me.
im not sure were the box is from as its from a friend on another private site that set it up for me.
i have had it for a while now and no complaints here as my service is top notch and the customer service so far is faultless.
best bet is to ask if they have trial accounts so you can test them out 1st.
