The seedbox is the best technology for all those people who download massively from torrent clients. When you download from the internet with the help of torrents, you have to keep a lot of things in mind. First, when you download it is equally important to upload that particular digital file. If you do not do this, torrent clients do not allow you to use torrents freely. This is especially important for private torrent trackers who must keep a 1:1 ratio at all times. A dedicated seedbox can help you do this. Secondly, downloading from torrents requires a lot of time as it depends on the swarm, and how many peers are in the network, and this can be quite cumbersome because the number of peers keeps on fluctuating and your speed download and upload speed keeps on fluctuating. This means that downloading and uploading takes a lot of time.

How The Seedbox Helps

A seedbox is a dedicated server that is for your own private use when you download files of the internet using torrent clients. Depending on where you get them from these private servers could be for a single torrent client or multiple and unlimited torrent clients. A seedbox has its own internal memory where it can store large amounts of digital files. This is because these dedicated servers have networks with massive high speeds of 100Mbits. Depending on the size and purpose of the server, people are trying to boost these speeds up to 10Gbit. What this means is that these servers can download and store whatever digital file you want them to in very little time. Therefore, you will not have to depend on the internet or broadband speed to download. All internet providers and ISP protocol limit speeds on your internet. You no longer will have to kowtow to theses rules and regulations. When the digital files are on the server, you download them onto your computer at high speed. The speed that you can use to transfer files on to your computer depends on the server's capability. The options are http, ftp, rsync and sftp.

The other purpose this serves is that you no longer have to worry about the download to upload ratio. Because of the super fast speeds of the network, the server fulfils the 1:1 ratio in no time. Depending on whether the swarm can handle such large network speeds all this completes itself in a matter of minutes.

With such a server you can also maintain anonymity and not trouble about your IP address floating about the P2P network.

For home use, you can get different servers on the basis of a monthly plan. The price of seedbox depends upon the storage capacity of the server, the processor, the number of active torrents you can run simultaneously and VNP and FTP access. You can get these servers from the hosting companies. They do not give you the server as your own but give you a password and details once you give the monthly rental.
