    BIOHOST box/company review

    I was confronted by one of the Biohost staff to take part in a trial of a box for a review here are my thoughts:

    TRIAL: 7 days.
    http://www.biohost.info/index.php?p=seedboxes

    Box: FIRE BOX (I was told "shadow"?)
    Cost: Monthly Fee $14.95
    HDD: 75 GB
    Bandwidth Line: 1000mbit Dedicated (un-metered)
    Dedicated RAM: 512MB
    Burst RAM: 768MB
    GUI: ruTorrent 3.3
    FTP

    Pro's:
    -downloads straight to 50MB/s and stays there, if your looking for fast download speed this is really good.
    -Upload was fine it stuck around 8MB/s and had bursts upto 20MB/s (depending on the torrent obviously)
    -FTP
    -good pricing



    Con's:
    -To be honest I am used to to fancy SSD's and shit loads of ram, so my opinion may be a little harsh... I found that the minimal amount of ram and a more than likely 7,200rpm hdd slowed the overall experience right down, It took ages for a download to start and if you have more than 3 downloads at once it kills rutorrent and you have to ask for a restart through the support ticket.
    -no sshd
    -crashes on heavy loads

    Overall:
    It was extremely nice of the staff to let me trial a box for a few days however I'm not sure if I put all my effort into really testing this seedbox but I am a casual user and i leave torrents uploading for days and if you are in the same position as me (casual uploader) than this is the box for you. In terms of competition with all the other seedbox providers out there they are all pretty much the same in terms of pricing and speed, I can clearly see that Biohost have changed alot since I last used them and they are definetly worth giving a go!

    In Conclusion:
    If you are a regular user here and apart of other torrent invite communities it is clear to see Biohost have been posting EVERYWHERE explaining that after new management things have turned around and things are alot better, trying to make there company as popular in a positive light as ever in which I applaud them on their effort and willingness to push their product along. I hope in the future they add extras such as SSD's and that, but at the moment they need to clean up their reputation. I can see that this review is not just based on the box but the whole company which is good considering you need to trust a supplier before you buy, I believe they have changed but we will see.
