| A seedbox is BitTorrent jargon for a dedicated high-speed server used explicitly for torrent transfers; more specifically - for uploading (seeding) at high rates. With a seedbox you'll be able to manage your torrents through a browser from anywhere, anytime. Some of the advantages of using a seedbox are: Speed Most seedbox accounts are set up on 100Mbit lines, or faster - this is fast; really fast! Unquestionably faster than your home Internet access. That is,unless you live in Japan or Sweden. Even with an el-cheapo VPN seedbox account, burst speeds can easily surpass 30MBit a second - that's a whopping 3,750 KB/s! To put it in perspective, that's like being able to download an average-sized MP3 in just one second. Downloading Sit back, relax and watch in amazement at how fast the torrents finish downloading. 700MB DVDRiPs come through in as little as 3 minutes; full DVD-Rs in just 15. What can beat that? Well, for starters, the upload speed is the same rate. Uploading Serious torrenters are less concerned about the downloading, and more about the seeding. With a seedbox, your ratio will be 1:1 on the torrent within minutes, not days. 10:1 ratios are not uncommon within the first hour for popular torrents. Uploading is the real reason users set up a seedbox. Your home Internet is untouched This frees up your home connection for more torrents, online gaming, youtube, whatever! You'll be able to safely turn off your computer at night without worrying about seeding. Your seedbox will still be happily uploading 24/7. Does your ISP limit the monthly throughput on your account? Get over it with a seedbox! Your seedbox traffic is not counted towards your ISP account stats, so it's great for anyone who suffers from ISP "capping". The only time it becomes "your" traffic is when you choose to download the files from a finished torrent to your home PC, and uploading torrent traffic will never eat into your cap. Seedbox Tips: Start out small. Seedboxes aren't cheap, but it doesn't have to break the bank. Many services now offer a "torrent-specific" seedbox package that are great for entry-level users with easy setup and management. Good Luck | |

| Not exactly a beginner, but does anyone have any advise on which is best, NFOrce or LeaseWeb NL? NFOrce is a lot more expensive and am wondering if it's worth it or not, specs are identical, both 1Gbps, 8TB space, ram, and traffic allowance I'm thinking about canceling my LeaseWeb Frankfurt one as it's only 4TB space and am gonna need more Thanks 🖖😊 | |

| If you are searching seedbox then feral hosting is best. OVH and Hetzner have best dedicated servers but Hetzner does not allow public torrents seeding. | |

| Most of these are for private trackers, here is a list of seed boxes that support public trackers https://cheapseedboxes.com/seedboxes-that-support-public-trackers/ | |

| no, like in normal desktop client, you have to add either torrent file, magnet link or hash of the file you wanted to download (no need to upload the files you downloaded)and the seed box will download it and will automatically seed it, if you are purchasing a seed box, look for a shared plan, its much cheaper than a dedicated seed box. | |

| miok  or other big uploaders is best to ask for deals ect imo, but the one MadWatchdog said sounds a good deal. But end of the day it depends on how much you want to pay...Last edited by TimmyBoy91 on 2022-02-23 18:58:29 | |

| On the seedhost offer 3TB per month might sound a lot but you get a few popular torrents in there and that allowance will be eaten up in a few days. Unlimited traffic offers are the way to go. | |

| This is true, but also worth noting that they dont actually cut you off, they just limit your speed (or 'may' limit it). I used to have a couple of theirs and over ran my allowance by many TB each month (and often saw no obvious reduction). | |

| I also used to use seedhost.eu and went over my 5TB limit a couple of times, but they limited my speed to 10 - 20MiBs they said it depends on how many people go over? but why I left seedhost is because even before I ran out my download speed never once went over 60MiB/s, pretty poor. If anyones looking for a shared seedbox, I usually recommend seedbox.io or Feral Hosting, seedbox.io 100Mbps will be plenty for most beginners, or Feral if u have large files (20GB+) or just love to see the higher speeds, altho not so high during peak times   and costs almost doubleUsually after giving people advice about seedboxes, they choose the Feral Hosting one, I haven't used Feral myself but I've never heard a bad word against them, but plenty of good As for me, I'll stick with dedicated seedbox, always faster and I like doing it myself, usually braking it but I still enjoy it  | |

| shared seedboxes are cheap, it comes with the compromise of performance, users get sufficient disk space but other resources are bottlenecked, hence causing the drop in performance which is expected, it depends upon the number of users that share the box, what they are using it for, and the time zone. imagine if the box is shared with 4 users all having a disk space of 1TB, if one of them is downloading a huge 4k file, it will show a hit in others' usage, but if the user is from different time zones it will not affect that bad. the usual compromise is bandwidth, usually for cheaper plans traffic is limited to 2-4 TB/month, but for an average user its enough for a month, I usually download smaller encodes from and seed to a minimum of 1:1 ratio which keeps within the usage limit, but for people who enjoys 4k, 1080p releases by NTb, Gossip, Kogi, EVO, etc which comes at high quality and size, it will not be enough for example, our dear sherb was kind enough to seed a 33GB file for 40 days and the upload was around 7TB, for this kind of use a higher plan is required and a dedicated seedbox will perform excellently for this purpose or a shared plan with unlimited traffic for the same amount of disk space, which usually comes with a higher price tag like feral helium plan @ 10 euro/month, which may not sound too much but seedbox is expensive in a long run and the price adds up eventually.if you are a pro user/ uploader who enjoys HQ files of huge size and is willing to seed if for a longer time, go for a dedicated box or a shared plan with unlimited traffic, or if you are an average user who enjoys smaller packs from GalaxyTV , battlestar,GalaxyRG, etc a cheaper plan will get you through the month and getting down speed north of 50MiB is value for money in my opinion. so it comes to this 1. what you want to enjoy and 2. how much you are willing to pay for it. | |
