Question on VPN's
buchno:
I know there is a seedbox service which allows payment by bitcoin for the overly paranoid, but I can't remember the name of it...
Edit: Apparently, there are quiet a few of them.

Yes I've heard of it too, but I really dont want to open the whole can-of-worms with bitcoins either =p It's not the payment that makes me paranoid, it's having my stuff off my machine that does it...oddly enough, I should have problems with any other cloud service like Dropbox (which kinda works on the same concept as I understand it) but I dont.
Maybe it's because, when it comes to seedboxes, I dont know which companies to "trust" and which to avoid. I'm not really sure how seedboxes work to begin with, and if I dont know/understand how something works, I'm generally get suspicious. Guess it's time I do more research, on seedboxes and VPN's...plus, I'm actually curious of how they work.
buchno:
It's easy, the company has a server you rent which runs a torrent client (usually rtorrent), a web server and an ssh server. You use the web server to browse the online interface of the torrent client (usually rutorrent) and add torrents you want to download, and the ssh server to establish a secure connection you can use to download the files to your computer.
Some of these servers are shared (which means you don't have full control of it), while others are dedicated (which usually means you have root access).

Thanks so much for posting; answered the questions I've been having with the seedboxes.
Also thanks for putting up with a paranoid scrub such as myself :p

That makes two of us. I'm going to do a bit more research myself just to sate my personal curiosity but yea what you said helped.
