Here are 11 new seedbox providers; including a ‘free 24 hour trial’ seedbox, as well as a super speedy 2000 Mbit dedicated box for £75/mo.

Yes there has been alot of growth in the seedbox business lately as people get caught up in the ratio game. Although you may have a fast box from ovh or whatever getting the files from the box to your pc can be very slow via http or ftp(s) especially if you have a low speed home connection.

Another thing which I don't see mentioned is that when you have a shared box your overall speed (u/l & d/l) is determined by how many other users you are sharing the box with, so if you have 4 other users (for example) your 100Mbit upload speed may be only 20% (or one fifth) of the theoretical maximum if all users are on at the same time. When server load is high due to usage, response time can be quite slow as well.

I've been thinking about renting a server, and have been looking at Server.lu; I want it so I can begin UL stuff at good speeds, as well as giving me experience but also so that I can have it for as an Warez FTP for myself and several friends who aren't on high level sites.

Seedboxes are nice, I already used one in the past but not anymore. You still have to download the files to your PC later. So the big deal about seedboxes is ratio buffering or using as server to share with other mates around the globe. But all in all you still can be affected by what mike said.
