A continuation from the last article, here are 20 additional seedbox providers. We personally tested many of these seedbox providers, and give our personal opinion where applicable - much of which can be found here. Configurations and services vary greatly, due to the fact that most seedbox hosts offer shared systems & resources. However; some offer dedicated seedboxes, whereby you’ll be the only one using the server.
Provider: Seedbox.me
BT Interface: TorrentFlux.
Connection: 100 Mbit (shared).
Price: Starting at $10/mo, up to $50.
Hard Drive Storage: 5 GB to 50 GB.
# of Torrents: 3 to 15 active torrents.
Access To Files: FTP, http.
Monthly Bandwidth Usage: unmetered.
Watch out for: Slow connection speeds on their low-end packages; setup fees of £65 for some of the services.
About: Seedbox.me has five different TorrentFlux plans, all of which are on unmetered 100 Mbit lines. Their "Orange Seedbox" package comes with a "3 active torrent" limit and 5 GB storage for just $10/mo. All accounts come with both HTTP downloading (via TFlux) and FTP access, and all are unlimited bandwidth. Looking for a little more? Seedbox.me’s ‘Blue’ seedbox comes with 5 active torrents and 10 GB storage.
Provider: Seedbox.fr
BT Interface: TorrentFlux, uTorrent (and "Seedbox.fr interface", whatever this is).
Connection: 100 Mbit (shared).
Price: Starting at €3 (Euro), €9, and €19.75 (plus extras…)
Hard Drive Storage: 8 GB to 250 GB (configurable).
# of Torrents: 3 to unlimited.
Access To Files: FTP, http.
Monthly Bandwidth Usage: unlimited.
Watch out for: Horrible user reviews, poor service, & lacklustre customer service…
About: SeedBox.fr probably offers one of the most affordable multi-torrent seedbox packages we’ve ever seen. For just €3 (Euro), users get 8 GB storage, 3 active torrents, 1 FTP account and unlimited bandwidth on a 100 Mbit (shared) connection. For €9, users get a substantial upgrade in service with 30 GB storage, 15 active torrents and 5 FTP accounts. There’s also the option to configure (customize) your own server, starting at €19.75. We’ve heard absolutely nothing positive about Seedbox.fr, although we’ve never tried them to confirm this. Someone once warned me: "Avoid any seedbox provider that has "torrent" or "seed" in their URL name".
Provider: TorrentSeeding.com
BT Interface: unknown
Connection: 100 Mbit (shared).
Price: $12.99/month.
Hard Drive Storage: 40 GB.
# of Torrents: 6
Access To Files: FTP (http access unknown).
Monthly Bandwidth Usage: unlimited.
Watch out for: Lame website.
About: No frills whatsoever on their website - either they have accounts open or they don’t - and just one option. Still, for $13 which gives unlimited (unmetered) bandwidth, 40 GB storage and a 6-torrent limit, you can’t go wrong with TorrentSeeding.
Provider: Obtrix.net
Update: All Obtrix seedboxes are sold through Seedstorm.com
BT Interface: TorrentFlux.
Connection: 100 Mbit to 1 GBit.

Provider: GetByte2U.com

Watch out for: Confusion on available plans; varying upload speed on different packages.
About: Until you actually hit the "Checkout" - that’s when you figure out the options for the chosen account. It would appear that accounts are either "Seeder" or "Downloader" (µTorS or µTorD). Bandwidth varies for each. I successfully tested out an account at GetByte2U, and I remember that it had amazing speed, but for the life of me I don’t remember which specific account I had.

Connection: 100 Mbit to 1 GBit.
Price: €4/mo. (Euro) to €145/mo.

# of Torrents: 24 to 32.
Access To Files: FTP.
Monthly Bandwidth Usage: unmetered; and variable upload ‘blocks’.
Watch out for: Plan option confusion; unfriendly website; expensive.
About: Live and learn: If you own FSF, don’t mention this to a seedbox provider, since it likely could affect the quality of the "test" service. Perhaps we received preferential treatment (for whatever that’s worth), and we quite liked the seedbox and the service. Apparently not everyone feels the same way. PFCorner offers 2 different plan options - seedboxes that are sold in upload bandwidth ‘blocks’; and unmetered services.

About: Seednet.eu offers very affordable VPS-style shared seedboxes that come with root/VNC access and a Control Panel (we like this!) that start at just $18/mo. Each account comes configured with wTorrent webGUI, with rtorrent as the client backend - to start torrenting, users simply need to set up a username and password at the wTorrent GUI. Seednet’s starter $18 package comes with a maximum of 4 users per server, 50 GB storage, 100 Mbit connection, unmetered monthly bandwidth, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited torrents, and even the ability to add websites on the server.
