Really Kizzer ? Yes! That is the advantage of having a seedbox.

1) You can access your seedbox anytime and anywhere, as long as you have an internet access. Includes: downloading/uploading torrent, download your torrent data using your web browser(this will depend on the feature that your seedbox provider offers - For example if you have an access to your seedbox web directory then you should be able to download your files, but limited. NOT ALL providers offer this) or FTP access(recommended)

2) You can turn off your computer because BTclient is web based running on a different location (server you are renting per month)

3) You can download your torrents you only want using ftp access. I recommend CuteFTP or FileZilla (Hostname and Port No. provided by your seedbox provider. IF NOT, then go change your provider !)

You can PM me if you have anymore concern regarding your seedbox. Btw, I have tried a new 1TB Disk Space on a Dual Quad Core Xeon Server , 1Gbit and Unlimited Bandwidth with a Dedicated HDD. for $65 ! Now I thought it won't let me download/upload more than 20Mb/s PER TORRENT. I have seen it ran on more than 25Mb/s total running upload speed. And imagine that, that server is 1TB and I already consumed 75% of my HDD and the server is MAX to 24 users !!! on that server. And I just had 1 reboot on that server. I also have a way to avoid rechecking your torrents if your server crashed using ruTorrent.

i knew it was a dumb question lol, but im new to this seed box stuff so thought im best to ask so thanks for the reply x

well sedboxes are great but the shared ones are ot so great for several reasons: speeds are slow and many times the seedbos crashes which means you need to change the port through VNC access
