I have a seedbox at Seedstuff.ca  It costs me $20 a month, for 225 gigs of space. The setup was less complicated than I was expecting. The interface (ruTorrent) mimics my uTorrent, and once I understood this, I had no problem using it immediately.

I think it has many great advantages. I can leave my files there, seeding for a very long time, even if my computer is turned off (which it was this week when I went out of town). My ratios have gone up exponentially. The seedbox has much greater bandwidth than my own ISP, so it is blazing fast. My own IP address isn't ever seen in the mix of downloading and uploading peers, only that of the seedbox itself, so the security is very good. The seedbox software does occasionally crash, and there is a manual "reboot" link from a different website, a godsend when you can't log on. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

Cannon, those links in your other post are dead. What were the files they linked to?

As you know, I have no problem keeping up my ratio. I've just noticed that fewer people are downloading my torrents at this site than at other similar sites. I'm not sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that a lot of people never see my posts.

At another tracker site, all torrents are visible to all users, but if a user's ratio goes below a certain level, they can't actually download anything. This seems to be a more sensible way of handling the problem.

Right now, DVD-R torrents are only visible to Power Users, who have a good ratio and several weeks of membership. I would like to have my torrents of DVD-Rs visible to all members.
