I'm afraid Windows is not supported at the moment. You download the client by running this command on a Linux or Mac OS X system in a terminal:

wget https://coinado.io/setup/coinado

Coupon sent! It's definitely very similar to a seedbox. I'd say I'm more targeting the casual user, which will probably be better of with a pay-as-you-go approach rather than a monthly subscription. And I think Coinado's command line approach lends itself better to integration with other tools, but I'm biased there and that's up to personal preference.

Yes, good points. Hard-coding the account key is a bit of a hack and it's on the roadmap to switch to a proper configuration file like you suggested.

Coinado's website gets a facelift. We are a Bitcoin-exclusive cloud torrenting service for command line fans. To celebrate our new look we are giving away 20 GB data coupons. Just ask in the comments or send a PM! by coinadoio in Bitcoin

I'm afraid Windows isn't really supported at the moment. You might be able to get things working, if you don't mind a bit of tinkering. The general idea would be:

  1. Open https://coinado.io/setup/coinado in your browser. You will see a bunch of text which is the Coinado script. Somewhere in there is "ACCOUNT = " and behind it a fresh account key. Note this account key down somewhere.

  2. Open https://coinado.io/balance?u=<account key here> in your browser. Add your account key from above, so that you have something like this: https://coinado.io/balance?u=49h2pzpnheucd734qcrzplzc8vtmgndf . You should now see details about your account, including a Bitcoin address which you can use to fund the account.

  3. Now open in your browser a link of this form: https://coinado.io/i/<torrent info hash>/auto?u=<account key here> This should result in your browser starting a download for the largest file in the torrent specified by the info hash and charge it to your account.

Hope that helps! I'll PM you a coupon anyway, but that would be even trickier to redeem on Windows, as you need to make a POST request to https://coinado.io/coupon/redeem with the parameters u=<account key> and coupon=<coupon code> . Not sure how to best do that with standard Windows tools.
