Oh .. just came in mind ..

If i get a magnet link from a torrent from here example ...
And the file or package doesn't show any seeds.

Does the seedbox client search trackers anywhere where the magnet link / hash is found ?
Or can i help somehow if i have the file or package at my own computer ?

Like, do i have to seed it so the seedbox client can download it to the box for seeding ?

Sorry if this sounded confusing.

If a torrent does not show seeds on TGx stats it doesn't mean that it can't find peers else where, if you add the magnetic link to the box it will try to find peers, might be because the server can search for peers through trackers not mentioned in the torrent file, someone might be seeding the same file through other trackers, but if the torrent is dead no box can help you unless the uploader starts to reseed again.

If you are seeding the file on a desktop client and you add it to seed box, the box will download it accordingly to your upload speed of the desktop client ( provided that you are the only person seeding it) and when it finishes the box will start to seed automatically, making 2 seeds for the file, which is both you, one from box and one from a desktop client.
Does that make sense to you.
