Took me 3 minutes to get put.io working. Name one seedbox provider that can be set up that quickly.

If you can use a ssh client: 1. go to your VPS control panel, span another vm 2. ssh to it 3. aptitude install transmission done. You don't even have to manage that box. not even install security updates if you don't want to.

  If the answer to the question "Is there already an easy way to do this desirable action?" starts with: If you can use a ssh client: Then someone will probably make a billion dollar company understanding why that's an out of touch response.

  Wake up 3 days later, notice $500 bill for bandwidth. But hey, super easy! Also, rtorrent. Geez, guy! :-P

    Ah yeah, i'm still holding up to my x-small linode without metered, it works fine for that with the ocasional torrent i have to seed. But you are right, when everyone moves to metered, this will not be that good.

Most of them. You pay and are chucked straight into a client web UI usually.

I'm an IT RETARD - I have no shame about that. At best I know about sudo apt-get install - but seedbox configurations on most providers is click next next next. They even have 1 click installers, it's really simple.

  Whatbox is pretty nice, and also user friendly. Feral used to be nice but it was never user friendly. Also, Feral's support is absolute shit. They were down for basically an entire month and barely communicated with their customers. Seedboxes.cc is also nice and somewhat user-friendly.

  That's very true, but I'm always apprehensive about stuff like that, given how dangerous a default config can be to my wallet. Specifically, if bandwidth isn't properly capped, or metered, I'd be shelling out more money than I'm saving by (hypothetically - calm down RIAA) pirating content!
