Seedbox advice

[joego24]

Hi,

I am hoping somebody can give me some advice on BTorrent Seedbox service and sites.

How do they work?
can we use them with gaytor.rent?
If I upload a file to the seedbox can others then download using the .ru tracker?
They say they make using torrent much fast, but do they?
Can you still seed with the tracker when my computer is turned off?
Are they worth the money?

My upload speed is crap from my ISP, it takes for ever to seed my posts, my download is better at an average at 2.8MB I was wondering if the seedbox service might be an answer to speeding thing up.

I have been using Vuze as I found Utorrent difficult to get to work, so if there is a seedbox provider who anybody has had a good experience and could recommend that would also be helpful.

Any advice or help gratefully received

Many thanks,

Joego

If the file is small I do it from my pc, otherwise I use my seedbox.

"Is it worth it", well we can't answer that for you, only you can answer that.  However I can give you a of help for you to decide for yourself.

1. Do you do a lot of torrents?

2. Do you need your computer for other things?

3. Do you turn off your computer a lot during the week; ie over night?

4. Do you share the computer?

If you answered YES to any of those, you might want to consider a seedbox.

It's difficult to recommend a seedbox because it varies by region.  In Europe and North America {probably others as well} you can get full severs that you control or purpose built seedboxes that are completely setup for you to do torrents.  Getting a server tends to be a better value as you get a larger size hard drive for the same cost.  On the flip side is if you don't really know computers, then a pre built seedbox is a better value as it's all done for you.
