Hi everybody, I just joined the forum and have a few short questions:
I've been using torrent websites like piratebay and rargb in the past. I was looking for 2160p movie torrents and tv show torrents when my research led me to this website. I discovered a word I had never heard before "seedbox". I'm familiar with torrenting, VPNs trackers etc... but not with seedboxes.

Q1: What is a seedbox?
Q2: Is it some sort of a computer that I own and use at home?
Q3: What's the point of using a seedbox instead of public websites like rargb or pirate bay?

Thanks for the knowledge sharing

on rarbg and TPB you can catch nasty virus but not on private trackers who are safe..

read this guide about seedboxes below, hope that will help you..

Seedbox Related Tutorials & Guides

I must add that when you d/l from public trackers, your ISP can see and report you and you can get fined or jailed..

a seedbox is something you rent from a provider like seedboxes.cc where once setup, you can add torrents from private trackers and it will seed them 24/7 all the time w/o any intervention from you, you just access it trough a GUI provided by the seedbox provider and if you need to grab a torrent, use some program like FileZilla which you can set a secure connection to your seedbox and d/l what you want and no one except you will know..

Highly recommended, good luck

I still don't understand what is the seed box exactly. I mean I do, but I don't at the same time lol...

WHERE is the seed box located?
You say that using a seed box, I'm seeding all day...?! So.... It uses my internet bandwidth? Or is a seed box a remote server thingy?

If I got this right a seedbox is kind of like a VPN service for which you have to pay every month. The difference being that a seedbox focuses on seeding and allowing its owner/user to download filed off it? Right?

Once I do have a seedbox where can I find librairies of remuxes and stuff? I hear you need to get invited or something like that?

I started searching but there seems to be like dozens of private "forums" or private tracker websites.

I'm not sure where to begin, I figured I'd find a tutorial on this website but there are like 20 different entire tutorial threads... I don't have 45 hours of time to sink into reading all the TLDR ��

Can anybody give me the short version? Or the plain English explanation?

Thanks guys

Yes I did google it before coming here. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I got the jist of it... but I just never dabbled in Seedboxes before, so the concept itself eluded me for a bit. Thanks for replies anyhow.

It pointed me in the right direction. Now I just have to follow the guides from this forum to find some good private servers
