If you’ve ever used a seedbox with TorrentFlux, you may have been a little overwhelmed by all of the options, let alone the TFlux interface. So if you’re looking to get into the seedbox world, but want to keep all the functionality of your trustworthy µTorrent client, you may be better served by using a provider that offers the µTorrent WebUI interface. It’s almost identical to µTorrent in every way - what could be easier?
But perhaps the best reason to lean towards a seedbox with WebUI is the speed advantage over TorrentFlux. Since WebUI doesn’t use as many server-hungry resources (such as PHP and MySQL), this saves additional memory for the seedbox, which translates directly to faster up/download transfers and more active torrents. Linux users who run a BT client through a command line already know this fact: — less GUI = higher speeds.
We tested out a few different seedbox hosting providers that offer µTorrent WebUI as an alternative to TorrentFlux, and we found the speeds to be superior to that of TFlux. Below are four different WebUI providers running four different torrents:
| Uploading @ Seedboxworld.com |
Downloading @ JMH Services |
 |
 |
| Downloading @ MyBox.PFCorner |
Downloading @ GetByte2U |
 |
 |
With further ado, here’s a list of µTorrent WebUI seedbox providers:
MyBOX.PFCorner.eu
Nevermind PFCorner’s no-frills website - don’t let this distract you from their great offers and excellent speeds. We frequently hit the 8 to 9 MB/s download rate for our torrents, and 700MB DVDRiP movies are downloaded in as little as 90 seconds. During business hours, new seedbox accounts are set up in less than an hour. Of all the WebUI providers, PFCorner offers the most variety in terms of service packages, and special ‘customized’ plans are always welcome. They’re also the only one of the bunch that offers a service they dub the "Big Pile" - it’s a free service (on the ‘Fixed’ packages) where large torrents can be held (seeding) and won’t cut into your drive space limitations. (This is very handy for trackers that offer a ’seed bonus’ based on time a torrent is left seeding - essentially you’ll be able to seed for free, while building up tracker bonus points & upload GBs). Neat idea!
Our Recommendations: Opt for an Unmetered Package, starting at €15 (Euro) a month. The monthly bandwidth throughput on these plans is unlimited, and you’ll be able to run a whopping 200 torrents simultaneously! Let’s see you try that on TorrentFlux.
Want to try it first to check out their insane speeds? Order the smallest package (10 GB drive space/50 GB upload bandwidth) for only €5. Email sb-admin[AT]pfcorner[DOT]nl for questions, suggestions and orders.
GetByte2U.com
GetByte2U offers a variety of µTorrent WebUI packages, in both "Downloader" and "Seeder" plans. Other features include: HTTP & FTP downloading, DHT and private tracker support, available protocol encryption, and more.
Our Recommendations: Read the options for each account when subscribing - there are limitations on the allowable max. active torrents and for up/down speeds on all accounts. However, all accounts offer an unlimited monthly transfer (bandwidth). While we wouldn’t recommend GetByte for heavy BitTorrent users, prices start at a mere $15/month, and they offer a very affordable seedbox solution to otherwise ’strategic’ BitTorrent users.
If you prefer to try them out first before you decide to subscribe to a larger package, select the µTor-D "Plan G" for $6 - you’ll get a seedbox for 7 days and 8GB drive space. (We couldn’t find this option in the ‘check out’, but try contacting GetByte2U at support@getbyte2u.com and request a trial run).
SeedboxWorld.net
SeedboxWorld is new to the WebUI scene, but has offered hosting for over 5 years. Their WebUI platforms run on fully-loaded quad core processor systems giving you maximum speeds and hardware based virtualization (xen) for maximum stability, with µTorrent pre-installed. They have full remote desktop and Administrator rights and a dedicated IP. Seeboxworld currently offers many different WebUI packages to choose from (as well as TorrentFlux-b4rt boxes), starting at just £10 (GBP).
Our Recommendations: We were lucky enough to test-drive their "µTorrent-Small" package, which includes 25 GB of HD space with unlimited torrents and unmetered bandwidth on a 100 Mbit port - all for £19. Speeds were great, especially for seeding - we ‘averaged’ around 900 KB/s upload for a single torrent from TorrentLeech, many times the burst speeds exceeded 1.3 Mb/s.
JMH Services
Update: - JMHServices is offline
Although you won’t find any mention of WebUI seedboxes on their website, JMH does offer a µTorrent option on their ‘Single User’ plan. Unlike most other WebUI seedbox providers, you’ll get full VNC access so you can use a browser and manage the seedbox, as well as FTP and WebUI access. As with all of their seedbox products, users get a 100 Mbit Tier 1 connection. You’ll also get a customized how-to guide for your new seedbox.
Here’s a look at JMH’s seedbox in action. As expected with JMH Services, the speeds are consistently fast:
Santrex
Santrex offers 4 different µTorrent hosting plans (all of which are unmetered), starting at $29. To quote Santrex, "You can get upto 11MB/sec on all our servers!" on their dedicated 100 Mbit connections.
Santrex also offers dedicated servers, as well - please note that torrents are not allowed on their U.S. hosted servers, although you’ll have no problem running TorrentFlux, WebUI or anything else on their "offshore" France and Amsterdam locations.
LeaseTorrent.com
Aside from their super-affordable TorrentFlux plans, LeaseTorrent also offers WebUI packages, as well. Starting at £15 (GBP), you’ll get a barebones seedbox with 10 GB drive space and 200 GB monthly bandwidth. Plans are very versatile, and can be upgraded during the month, as needed.
Our Recommendations: Without an "unlimited" bandwidth package option, you could end up paying a lot if you’re a heavy BitTorrent user. It’s not difficult to burn out your entire 200 GB monthly allotment in a single week, if not faster.
EliteSeedbox.com
EliteSeedbox also offers a diverse selection of WebUI seedboxes. The options are a little confusing at first, until you click on the "Hard Drive Space" link next to a package - this will open up more options (including ‘unlimited bandwidth’) for each selection. Not cheap, we might add - plans start at €26.35 (Euros) and range up to a very lofty €230/mo. Yeah, right! For half that price you can find a cheap dedibox.

Nice informative post
At first I thought that you wouldn’t be able to do as much with WebUI as you can with torrentflux but it seems like you can.

SanTrex with uTorrent WebUI works great!
SanTrex also has great customer service!
Very fast Torrenting and FTP upload and download!
Update your screenshot, now you get 30GB for only $29!
30GB disk space, unlimited bandwidth, AND NO limits on active torrent for $29 is the best so far!
Perfect for downloaders and seeders!
My What.CD account ratio has already improved!
Again very good company!

Don’t bother with MyBOX.PFCorner.eu, the administrator is a certified headcase.

DO NOT GO WITH MYBOX.PFCORNER!!!! After asking them some simple questions like uptime on their servers, how long it takes to get things repaired, and what they consider “excessive bandwidth” among other things I feel are important this was the message I received back.
Quote: Because most questions are NOT relevant (from our point of view),
we do not put time in them answering. Run your own server, Dave.
Take it (as many) or leave it.
If questions from their customers are not relevant from their point of view then what is? I shudder to think of the type of response one might get if they were dissatisfied with service! There’s a reason their service is so cheap. Do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks more and ensure a good experience with people who care about their image. This has got to be the worst example of customer service and never again will I ever think about doing business with these idiots.

Dave and John are 100% correct - DO NOT use MyBOX.PFCorner.EU !!!
I started with their basic package and planned to move up to a much bigger one after
one month. From their web site:
05-sep-2008 update: still some performance issues pending
Working on the matter.
06-sep-2008 update: trying to get it fixed, again.
07-sep-2008 update: after some positive effects, things went from bad to worse.
08-sep-2008 update: change of plans.
The plan is to temporary quit most of the WebUI-based boxes, (partially) refunding payments.
The ONLY good thing I can say about them is they are honest; or maybe I’m just lucky.
I received a full refund.

Even the best of these sites can’t touch what you can get at outsystems.pl with wTorrent and tons more space. Whatbox is also a much better deal, for $35 per month I have unlimited BW, torrents, and 330 GB of HDD space. I am able to consistently max out the 100mbit connection. These are shared boxes but much more space for the money and the speeds are spot on. These are just two that popped in my head, bigSB is also a good provider with great speeds that gives you tons of space compared to these offers. I can’t imagine using a seedbox or server with only 30 GB of space for my torrenting. The Pirate Society also offers up seedbox rentals to their members and right now they are accepting new signups, so now would be a good time to join. There seedboxes are comparable to whatbox, outsystems.pl, bigsb, with tons of space and great speeds that you can max out consistently unlike some of these jokers that throttle you or oversell the servers. Hope someone finds this information useful.
