Seedbox.fr

Well I signed up for seedbox.fr on thursday. It is sunday night and I still don’t have an account. The email which they had (and answered all my presales questions right away) has not responded once. Scam or not?

Update: account finally came through a week later. Some response - any response would have been good.

The service works well. Good transfer speeds, but fluctuates wildly. Some private trackers show they cannot connect properly and that say that nat is not configured properly.  Several times my downloads stopped even though many seeds and peers were showing, but could not connect.  If I tried the same torrent at my house, things would go.

The web interface is usually slow, but at times extremely slow. Typical is a one to two minute wait between clicks. Not the type if thing to log in and out of rapidly.

But the price is cheap. Then again you get what you pay for.

Overall - when it works, it is good.  But I think this is a small operation set up by a tech person with not a lot of concept of customer service.

Update: January 18th, 2009 - The server has been down for 36 hours with no response from the tech support people.
