Cons
1- No support
There's a button called "Live Support", but NO it's not Live they don't answer a thing I have sent them several emails for them last week and I didn't receive a thing..
2- You can't get your money back if you're insatisfied
As I said, no support, I tried talking to them to ask for a refund but they don't answer my emails I had to open a case on Paypal.
3- Downloading/Uploading rates of 1Gbit plan
I got 25mb/s at best, this ins't good for a 1Gbit plan...
4- Crashes
You may experience crashes and freezes on your seedbox while adding large torrents.
Pros
Weekly plans are handy.. Very useful.
If you want to cancel your weekly plan go to paypal and cancel your automatic subscription.
Instant Access You get your account instantly.. very good
Although it says Public trackers not allowed I could download from them without problems

Don't know how are the speeds now after the migration from OVH to Leaseweb..
-
Why not state what's so bad about them?
And include average upload speeds as these are the most important.
-
Do you mean screenshoots?
-
No I posted about the first review, no upload speed mentioned and you never really explained why you find them so bad.
I'm not getting on you. Would just be better if there's more detail in it so members don't waste their money with them
-
Done..
Because of no support it deserved a 1/10 but since It works and it's not a scam I gonna raise up a little bit
-
As a current client I can tell you this service is pretty bad , including the upload.
Less than 2Mb/s
-
Thank you for the review I'm exactly on your first review palan which the upload is 15MB but the funny thing yesterday I had a 40-60 upload lol, Agreed the service is quite bad not going to renew with them again.

If you are looking for a cheep seedbox, this seedbox for you.
Don't expect any support! They don't even send you an email with your information after you subscribe!

This is the best cheap seedbox that I used.
I have gotten a steady 5~7MB/s upload on their shared 100mbps plans, and 10MB/s on few torrents where I was the initial seed (about 12MB/s upload on all torrents).
Being a 100mbps box, I guess it had some trouble competing when there are many seeders, but I can't complain for a box under $10.
I moved on to a 1gbps seedbox recently with another company, and I got 19MB/s upload when I was transferring my torrents to the new box so I could continue to seed. I guess I was the primary seeder on most of those older torrents, so I got the maximum potential out of it.
My box froze up once or twice per month, but they have a link where you can restart the box, and that always solved my problems. I contacted support the first time and they responded about 2 hours later (I had already found restart link by then and did not need help)
-
This was the first seedbox I signed. When I signed it worked perfectly.
-
I just quit these guys!
They were ok for the price when i joined up 6 months ago but have gone rapidly downhill.
I earnestly warn anyone looking for a seedbox to do what i did and pay a little more (for me it was 5 dollars a month)
and get a decent service!
The problems i experienced while with seed.st included:
1. the most terrible timeouts and lag when connecting to rutorrent - dont expect to be able to add torrents easily when its lagging!
2. rutorrent constantly crashing, losing a bunch of data and disconnecting from torrent sites
3. ignore the live support button cos it dont work!
4. irc support does not exist
5. email support does not exist
That being said, actually ftping the stuff you manage to get is relatively smooth sailing.
I guess you get what you pay for, i paid for a cheap service and i got it!
-
seed.st is a joke. they grab u with cheap prices and their hardware is so useless.
better to grab a decent provider like tal0ne, seedstuff, whabox. all have cheaper end plans, but at least it is decent and u wont have to deal with a "sudden" monthly crash
-
use to be good back in the days. now its really bad. no support and horrible speeds. not worth wasting your money here.
-
They are terrible. The worst seedbox I have ever seen.
On the top you can see EvoSeedbox, and on the bottom the seed.st.
Since it's a seedbox you need to compare the upload speeds, so yeah, aweful.
