Cancelled subscription ... way too technical and got nothing to work.
Did you contact them to try and figure out what was wrong? It worked straight out the box for me.

Just wondering is there a way to add seedbox address to a torrent client as a tracker ?

Same torrent file shows more seeds and peers on seedbox than in torrent client.

clients can only find peers based on the trackers found in the torrent file[max 15 here] and mag link[max 10 here]. its limited, the same file may be seeding or leeching with other trackers by some one[it can be done by adding new trackers to the existing torrent in a client, commonly done in hoping to find new peers], seed boxes are servers they have higher limit for the tracker list, servers will find more peers than desktop client since they can easily track/comb through all the active trackers on web to find more peers , one of the benefit of using a seedbox, more capable than a desktop client.

Just for heads up ... contacted Feral cause couldn't connect to my slot via torrent client.

They opened new one cause the previous started to get hard disk failure.

Now doing slot to slot transfer, so if you suffer problems, contact support.

I use a custom VPS from Flaunt7 personally, their servers go down from time to time but its a lot cheaper and you still get 11/10 speeds. I don't need a full terabyte of storage anyway-

Just keep in mind that cheapest is not always the best option when looking for reliable solutions to a seedbox. I suggest trying out a couple different ones before getting on a long plan, good luck.

I've tested five in the last few months.

(These all allow public trackers).

rapidseedbox.com : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support seem to be responsive.

seedboxes.cc : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support seem to be responsive.

feralhosting.com  : GOOD
Works well, no traffic limits
Support are generally responsive.

seedhost.eu : OK.
Works well, but has traffic limitations.
However they do seem to have the cheapest plans.
If you exceed your allowance, speed is capped at 10 mbits/s until your reset date.
Support are assholes, pray you never need them.

www.appbox.co : POOR
No traffic limits.
Worked poorly, I tried deluge, rutorrent & qbitorrent.
I could not even log into QBT, the other two shut down torernts once downloaded.
I spent hours trying to track down why, going through every setting, never figured it out.
Support are unresponsive, often taking nearly a day to reply, even when the box was dead.
In the end, I installed their ubuntu app, then installed deluge on that (like a VPS). It worked, but not well.

In short, I'd stick with one of the first 3.
If price is a priority, then seedhost are a cheap option with traffic limits.

Yep, probably the most unhelpful support I've seen
- However they are relatively reliable and cheap so that makes up for it.

Feral....Totally reliable and excellent support, £10p/m for a 1TB slot. They may not be the cheapest, been with them for 2 + years now and have no intention of changing.

Same here, coming up on a year with zero issues. Not even thinking of going anywhere else. :_:)

I use Bytesized Hosting, they are reasonably priced at 15EUR and their support is friendly.
