HEAT was indeed good, and faster than all the others, but you must remember this: HEAT is based on US servers only, this means your data is subject to the laws in America when it comes to piracy. If you opt for the FLEX plans in NL, you are subject to NL laws, who don't give 2 fucks about piracy.

I've used various sized Whatbox Heat slots in all 3 locations offered (DE, NL, and US). They occasionally run out of stock in a particular location so you may looked at their plans when they had run out of both DE and NL slots.

I would qualify this a bit further by saying that one should avoid OVH resellers. OVH's hardware and network are actually quite good when purchasing directly from them (cost vs performance). OVH has updated their policies quite a bit in the last few months while at the same time upgrading their network. This has resulted in some pretty weak offerings from seedbox providers that use them but they seem to leave individuals alone.

As far as the OP's question, I would definitely recommend you pick a Whatbox slot that fits your budget and activity. Having used both Whatbox and Feral, Whatbox offers a far better experience overall (better network, better management interface, less users on each system). The biggest reason to avoid Feral in my opinion is that they do nothing to prevent a user from seeing all of the other users' activity on the system with basic Unix commands (ps, netstat, etc). With a Whatbox slot you can only see your processes and network activity.

I´ve signed with whatbox again. Decided for the Heat NL 3 Plan, and it´s by far much much better in performance than the other one i was up to in seedboxes.cc :D

It is soo good that im already thinking in upgrade to HeatNL 4 plan next month :)

Thank you all for the help and support on it.

Cheers

Heat is garbage and not worth the money you pay for it.

You can't saturate peers with the HDD space they give you. You have the speed but unless you have enough torrents with people wanting to grab them you'll never use all that speed. You can't get the torrents to use the bandwidth without the HDD space.

It's only really good on public trackers where you don't really need a seedbox for anyways. Private trackers are generally have far less peers which means you need way more torrents to saturate your speed.
