I have some Questions about Seedboxes:

1) If I buy a seedbox, do I need to upload all my downloaded data to the seedbox to maintain my ratio?
2) If I do not have a very good upload speed then is there any benefit of buying a seedbox?
3) Can I maintain my ratio of different private trackers by 1 seedbox?
4) What are the other benefits of seedbox?
5) If I buy a seedbox for 1 month and upload my data on it. Then I will not upgrade my plan for the next month. Will it drops my ratio instantly?

Looking forward for the replies of these questions.

Thanks

1. You can, but you don't need to. You can just simply download torrents directly to your seedbox.
2. Yes, because seedboxes has 100Mbps or even 1Gbps upload speed, which is more than enough. It's actually more, than the most of leechers can downloader, which means, you actually won't even reach these speeds, because there will be not enough leecher, for downloading that fast. You can only reach this speed, if there are another seedboxes downloading the torrent
3. Yes of course you can. Make sure to choose a seedbox, which don't have torrent number limitation
4. With them you don't need to run a torrent client on your computer, which increases your computers performance. And you won't need to worry about slow download/upload speed. Also you can use them just for their storage, so i.e. you can upload your photos and other things to them
Some of the seedbox providers also gives you a VPN feature, which means, that you can hide your ip from the websites you want (the websites will see the seedboxs ip).
5. Not, but it might cause some torrents, which doesn't reached the 1.0 ratio or the requested seeding time to be calculated as HNR-s. To avoid that, you can simply just download them to your computer throught FTP, and then seed it from there

By the way you need to be careful, because seedboxes are not containing any magic for improving your ratio, they just have a good network connection and that's all. So in order to improve your ratio, you need to download high leecher, but low seeder number torrents. And if it is possible on the tracker, then download freeleech torrents.

Thanks everyone. I got my answers.
