Some Seedbox Questions

Hi,

I am new in Torrent World and in SeedBoxes. I start using Private trackers but to maintain the ratio I can understand that I must need a SeedBox.

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

Hi @eshban,

First thing, in simple words, you can call seedbox 'a 24*7 running, online torrent client with good speed'.

Now answers:

1) No, seedbox's upload speeds are good, just add the .torrent to your seedbox and it'll start leeching, once done 100%, it'll seed the torrent to others. Since the UL speed is good, you are able to upload very much and keep the ratio maintained.

2) Depends. You can download the data in your box and then download the data in your PC (via FTP). Mostly don't use PC for leeching on private trackers as your UL speed will be lower than other users (most users have seedbox) and you won't be able to seed much and might get your ratio lowered.

3) Yes.

4) I can't tell much.

5) Once you get UL credit on trackers, it doesn't get removed.

I have tried my best to answer. If others think I have provided any wrong info, please help fixing it.

Thank you.

@eshban,

a seedbox is a very fast download/upload internet connection with a hard disk drive to keep the files.

1) Just download everything to your seedbox. Then, you can transfer them to your computer with various ways, like fttp (speed will be the one by your home connection).
If you want to upload a file of yours in a tracker, you need to tranfer it first to your seedbox. That way, with the great upload speed of the seedbox, you will upload much data and raise your ratio very much. If you choose not to upload the file to seedbox, you will seed it from your computer with your home connection. Which, in most countries, is very much slower :regular_smile:

2) This is exacty why seedboxes exist!
If everyone had a very fast home connection, owners of seedboxes companies should be looking for another job :P

3) Certainly. It's exactly like your home client. You can download and upload to any private tracker you want.
(some seedboxes do not allow public trackers).


4) The major advantage is the ultra fast upload speed, so you can have a superb ratio very easily in every tracker.
Plus, you don't have to keep your computer open all day and all of the night to seed.

5) If you buy a seedbox for just 1 month and then stop using it, you will.. see the difference and look forward to buy again :laugh:
It's a very useful torrent tool, and you will understand it by using it.
But even if you want to "test" it just for a month, your ratio after this month will be very high, and ....that's it.
Ratios drop only when you download much and seed less ;)

So if I have a .torrent file on my main computer and it's already been downloaded, how do I move it to the seedbox? Does it have to download the same torrent file again from the same tracker?

use a ftp client (filezilla, cuteftp) to upload your data to the seedbox

@chinski Just imagine the seedbox as a computer in another room, that you do not have access physically, but have remote control on it, so if you want to leech something you already downloaded on another computer, you have to send it to your seedbox hard drive, they are many ways you can do that, check out Bittorrent Sync, goes really well once set up and more secure than FTP. I use both, BTSync for large files and FTP for smaller files, I do get crappy FTP speeds out of my seedbox but really fast speeds from BTSync !

Hmm ok thanks @Trap Lord

Could really use it for a few things, especially that new one ;)

@RossoBreitner, @OptimusPrime
Thanks for the wonderful info.
1 more question I need to ask is: To upload the movie on Seedbox do i only need to upload .torrent file or i need to upload the whole movie related to it.
Thanks

You can do 2 things:

(Assuming you have the movie on your PC)

1) Create a .torrent in uTorrent (or any other torrent client) of the movie with public trackers. Upload the .torrent to seedbox, seedbox will download the data.
2) Transfer your movie to seedbox via FTP (You'll get it when you buy seedbox). Make .torrent on seedbox.

Thank you.

You will not regret hiring one that's for sure..Just play around with mate and you will be able to answer all your own questions in no time.

just be careful, cause seedbox very addictive :top:

thanks awesome thread

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.
