I see your opinion, Unfortunately I can't really guarantee the test account for you for 10 days or even longer - that's quite a long time actually, considering that you're otherwise free to leave anytime. I'll see what can I do though The upload speed is capped at 20 Mbps as you can confirm from Admin-tab in the wTorrent. You should be able to get decent uploads speeds up to that limit, which equals the one on "Jouni's seedbox"-plan Anyway, if you still feel like not achieving any good speeds, I can set up a replacement test account for you on an another server of course. Warm regards, Jouni
Hi Jouni, Can I also get a copy of test account ? I am back in hunt to find me "my new seed box". Something happened to my current provider, their server & website has vanished like a Ghost. I will post my observations abt the review ! Thanks.
I checked out the Test A/C. Here are my observations. Using public trackers: I got average Upload speed of 1100 ~ 1300 KBPS Avg download speed was 400 ~ 1200 KBPS Using Private trackers: I got average Upload speed as 1100 KBPS Download speed was 1400 ~ 1600 KBPS Though I got a fatal error once, while adding a Torrent. But on relogin after sometime, seemed to have resolved the issue. Using FTP I was able to MAX my connection (abt ~240 KBPS) on constant basis. I had selected FTP and not SFTP. SFTP was bit slower though. Using FTP connection, I did folder mgmt like cut and delete of the files downloaded by me. I found not issues there. Over all, Jouni's seedbox seemed to have a great Performance, i will give 9 out of 10. In case of features I will give 8 out of 10, as initially I got bit confused seeing so many options (but it was good).
Speeds are great, support was excellent, and GUI is responsive. HTTP & FTP account is included where you can download the files to your computer, and for me living in the land down under is a lot faster than downloading via utorrent on my home connection. This is by far the best seedbox I've ever had. I would definatly recommend this box to anyone.
As Promised to Jouni, I am adding details to my earlier observations about "seeding" Private / Public Trackers. On Private trackers, I got speed for uploading upto 1800 KBPS, burstable speed went up to 2500 KBPS. which was good. On Public Trackers like PB or ISO / DEM, I got max 1100 KBPS, burstable speed went up to 2100 KBPS, over period of 2 days. This performance is really good, and I recommend Jouni's seedbox solutions. Though, I do think pricing is bit towards steep side. It will be great if Jouni can price it bit more aggressively.
I forgot to leave my review. Jouni provides an excellent customer support service, and he setted up the test account for me straight away. I got very good speeds, but I do have to agree with prankster that the price is a little high. I will be buying of him once I have raised the money, overall 10/10
pranKster: Many thanks for your both detailed observations - I'm pleased to see your tests turned out to be quite successful! That fatal error appeared probably when erasing a torrent from wTorrent - I had accidently left too tight permissions for the database file which caused wTorrent to be unable to update it. You were still able to erase torrents one by one though, just by ignoring the error, but it's still quite an annoying one indeed. wanakin: Thank you for your positive comments and quick iTrader - I'm happy to keep you satisfied Fearless123: Actually I've already answered your pm, but just to point out here on public as well: it's really up to you since I won't be intensively monitoring what do you use your seedbox for. bunbunx2: Unfortunately I haven't got any remote desktops available, at least for now. They'd require quite a different configuration than I currently use on my servers - and dedicated boxes for that usage really. pieman145: Hehe, it's not so exact at all - thank you for your very nice review though I see that €20/month isn't very cheap for especially not that active users, who might find a smaller plan more attractive. Actually I've been doing €10/month halves of the "Jouni's seedbox" time to time, so anyone after something smaller or even custom - feel free to contact me anytime as well Regards, Jouni
