    Thumbs up My review of SeedBoxes.cc

    Hope you'll enjoy reading this review at least half as much as I currently enjoy being their customer




    Plans:
    SeedBoxes.cc now offers two plan routes:
    • NEW, Metered monthly data-cap, which sits on very capable hardware:
      10/10Gbit link (not a type-o),
      Dual Intel Xeon E5630's (2 x 4 x 2.53GHz physical cores+ 2 x 4 @ 2.53GHz HyperThreading),
      48GB RAM,
      3TB disks (non-RAID).
    • Unmetered (don't know its exact hardware specs).


    NEW, Metered



    Unmetered




    You can pay either month-by-month or up front. Those who subscribe to several months (up to a full 1 year) in advance would be treated to some nice bonuses, such as:
    • Up to 10% discount on the overall amount.
    • Up to 2 Additional Tera Bytes to your monthly transfer cap.


    Every SeedBox also comes with the following pre-installed:
    • All current major Linux torrent clients: Deluge, r/ruTorrent and Transmission,
    • irssi (you can then install autodl-irssi on top of it).


    Some more information regarding the metered-plans:
    • Once you've maxed out your monthly data-cap, you'll still be able to transfer content to your SeedBox at your current plan's max speed.
      However, content transferred from your SeedBox will be limited to 7-10Mbps.
    • From what I've been told by staff, plans are currently being made to introduce in the coming weeks a way for all metered-plan members to purchase additional monthly Tera Bytes of bandwidth, should they max out their monthly data-cap.
    • Hosted on OVH France.



    Speed:
    I'm currently leasing the Vampire Box.
    At 10Gbit/1Gbit, it all boils down to disk I/Os, and SeedBoxes.cc's new metered plans leave little room left to be desired.

    Simply put, the speeds you'll be getting, provided you and those sharing the specific physical disk with you
    • Aren't over-taxing your slice's hard-drive,
    • Managed to catch the swarm early,

    ...are amazing:




    Though my Torrent client of choice is Deluge (thin-client mode), I've also tried out ruTorrent with around 115 active torrents (out of which Roughly 25 were actually seeding) - and the interface was very responsive.


    Support
    :
    SeedBoxes.cc's support is currently ticket-system/Email only, and yet, the average ticket turn-around time during normal business hours (GMT +02:00) can usually be less than 10 minutes, and no more than 3 hours!

    Responses are always thorough, courteous and leave absolutely 0 guess work on your part!

    To top it all off, a new, slick support section covering many FAQs previously featured in their Wiki is also being finalized:



    Website:
    SeedBoxes.cc's Website has been put through a MAJOR overhaul during the past few days, and now includes a new Client Area which enables you to control all basic and intermediate aspects of your SeedBox:



    To sum it all up
    :
    During the past 2 months I've been testing 2 other SeedBox providers, with plans ranging between 300Mbps and 1Gbit (Leaseweb network).
    While they were also very strong on the customer support and Website-end, when it came to actual transfer speeds - I wasn't so lucky.

    On SeedBoxes.cc however, I seem to have finally found the right combination of everything. 10 out of 10!
    Thanks Tony!
