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.

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.

That option is useless now. ISP are able to decipher that encryption and determine that you are running bittorrent. Also, the 30min updates are a BIG giveaway that you are running a client.

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.

And when you download around a couple of gigs a day this task becomes impossible without a 100/100 connection.
For example, this is my stats for private tracker: Uploaded: 21.26 TB Downloaded: 12.21 TB There is no way I could of uploaded that much on any connection ISP offer here. Only way would be to purchase a business connection of 100/100 and that cost around 900$ a month.

To help out? what keeps torrents healthy at fast speeds? its mainly people who use a seedbox/server and the few who are lucky enough to have access to 100/100 connections at low prices.
The money aint an issue to me though, i just think about it as...ive downloaded 4.3TB on my bbt account (i did guest account a little in the past), how much would all of the series/ova's/movies cost to buy on DVD/Bluray?...a damn lot more then paying for a server just to help with the seeding.

Wha... 100/100 is that expensive? I use 50/50 on ~18000 won(~$20). 100/100 is ~26000 won(~$30). 1024/1024 is ~30000(on some places). What country do you live?

We dont' have fibre optics yet in Canada either. A 25/2 connection here costs 96 Canadian dollars or like 95 USD.

Canada has a EPIC backbone network that can do well over TB/s. Most of NB (where I live) network is fibre optic, and we can now have a fibre connections to homes. Not that I could not get that before but would of been expensive... The prices are not all that bad (still high compared to European standards) and the speeds are not all that bad. But to get the speeds I want (100/100 or 1Gbps) but that would require a business deal with the ISP that offers fibre here.
Canada is not the best place to be for good cheap speeds. Sad, since most if not all of this network has been payed by the tax payers.
