A complete novice to Seedboxes = Help me understand it

Hi

As you can see I am new to this forum and new to world of torrenting and seeding. I was looking into renting a seedbox account for my torrents downloading

Basically my current internet provider speed is very slow and it takes times to download torrents. I was thinking of renting a seedbox to download torrents and then transfer the data to my local computer. Coronavirus has give me ample time to download and watch movies, shows etc.

Do you think this is possible? or should I rent a seedbox account just for this ?

Also I am not sure about the specs/terminology of these seedboxes ( traffic size, downloaded limit etc). What I should be looking for if I want a normal size space (500gb to 1TB) with unlimited downloading speed or traffice restrictions.

Any help would be much appreciated

Yes you can rent box just for this but if your speed is slow it will be slow when you are transfering data from box to your local computer too so it may not work like you wanted but yes you can.

I recommend you yo use seedboxes.cc. batbox is very good for your condition and also have plex media server support which you can watch movies in your box without downloading to your local computer. Plex media server installation is very easy and there is very simple how to do guide.

My 2cents: If you're ISP is slow,I'm guessing you might be also having power supply issue. So I would suggest you to let go of streaming capabilities. Focus more on storage space on your seedbox. Even if you've no power supply issues, with slow speed you may be able to stream only upto 480p without any pixelation/interruptions etc.
As you may already know: download overnight if that helps you improve speed.

What I should be looking for if I need unlimited downloading either on torrents or other way. I am looking at different plans but confuse in terminology

Does "Unmetered bandwidth" means unlimited downloading ?

Thank you

I dont know cheap seedbox others will be more helpfull for you but even in seedbox sometimes you can not reach required ratio so use public tracker or becarefull.

I am not worried about building ratios . I just want to download torrents from website like RARBG, Iptorrent etc. I think they are public torrents

Noob question, is a seed box really necessary if you have fast internet?
Or is it just for those with slow internet?
What i mean by this is, are people with fast internet use a seedbox just to take load off their main internet traffic?

Seedbox is never necessary even for those who have slow internet connection but without it uploading too hard for the people who have slow speed.
Users who have fast connection uses it several reasons. One of them like you said they dont want to load their traffic. Another reason is security(DMCA). Another reason is seedbox seed torrents 24/7 at full speed.
