This has been around for a few years. It's absolutely amazing -- you can subscribe to RSS, and it makes it dead simple to stream to Roku/etc, too.
How do you stream to Roku? (I just got mine, I'm new)

#22This seems like a slightly worse seedbox marketed towards people who haven't heard of seedboxes.
Re: Put.io
#23I have been using put.io for years and I love them! Downloads from their server to me are fast and the torrents themselves are often instant.

#24So...crappy seedboxes...no thank you. I'll just go with another provider.

Put.io has an official Roku app (it works great!) - https://twitter.com/putdotio/status/423135044371505152
Re: Put.io
#26This is a really cool idea, but I'd like a bit more storage, and less cost, before I sign up. If I could get 3TB for $15/mo, I'd be there. 3TB drives can be had for $120, and I'd like my cloud storage to be competitively priced. Offloading my torrent collection into the cloud sounds like a great step forward, but not if it results in me paying more.
I’m assuming that the service cost doesn't come primarily from storage, but rather from bandwidth usage, and the increase in hardware requirements for handling a larger number of torrents.

Or for people who aren't interested in managing their own box, building / installing / maintaining the control software, etc.
Just the same way Dropbox is for people who haven't heard of NASs or Amazon S3.

put.io does have some interesting features in my opinion. One of them being that it will convert any video to mp4 which I can then stream directly to my Apple TV.
They also allow for external subtitle tracks to be added and again, it works with the Apple TV (something that other alternatives were never able to do).
Also, judging by the percentage of torrents I add on put.io that are instantly completed, I guess they have a sizeable user-base... That wasn't always the case with the seedboxes I've tried before (I'd say more than 90% of the torrents I add on put.io are completed, converted, and instantly streamable to the Apple TV)

Amazon's S3, which presumably has scale advantages over put.io, charges $80/TB/month just for storage. put.io charges only 60% of that with data transfer included. Based on that, I doubt your wishes will come true any time soon.

There are seedbox providers which require very little knowledge or effort.
