Seedboxing on a desktop computer
fohfoh:
There's a reason I think my laptop is dying...
Only about 20 or so now are bkbt stuff. I moved the rest off. Most of the other stuff is from elsewhere.
Back on topic though, I don't understand how OP's computer can overheat that much with so few torrents. Even mine when I can get some good speeds going rarely overheats like that and I run a laptop. Also, I easily see a difference of resource usage when trying to seed or dl more or less files. (+ speed boosts which I assume are due to free up resources on my laptop)

When you're part of a massive private torrent site a seedbox is a must if you are going to download a lot. Since a lot of the users have a seedbox it makes it hard for users that have a slower upload to seed a torrent to a proper ratio. With that said, I download a lot more then what my upload connection would permit me to upload... So, to keep a good ratio a seedbox is needed.
And another reason to have a seedbox is to protect your identity from spying eyes. All my ISP sees from my connection is SSL FTP connections. So, they have no sweet idea what's being transferred.

Should not encryption aid in that retrospect?

In some country that has fast Up/Dwn speed, they can't filter it :-) because too lot of data are transfered in so less time. However, there are option 'encrypted torrent protocol' in torrent application. It would hide that you are using torrent.

I'm with Tiffanys on this, if I download something, I seed it right back, as much as my connection can handle.
Even with the minor problems I've had recently computer wise (I've had to tell bittorrent where the files are TWICE now, in just under a week. ::) ), I'm still managing to seed *almost* everything I've ever downloaded from Baka.
