your point was wrong in the first place. your connection to the swarm via VPN is just as "secure" as your connection to the seedbox via SFTP. with a seedbox you can likely seed at much greater speeds as with your home connection and are guaranteed to max out your download speed when you actually grab the stuff from there. not to mention that you don't need to let your home pc run 24/7 to seed.
to sum it up it's actually less effort and a considerably higher gain.
Tiffanys:
So then. Now that that's decided...
Any good seedbox recommendations then? It wouldn't just be for this site. Well, I don't even really need it for this site, with my ratio as good as it is already. It wouldn't hurt though.
I'd prefer that, y'know, the seedbox doesn't check what's on their hdds, and uh... won't hand my info over to whoever sends them a complaint letter... xD
Lupin:
I used whatbox. Good service. It's an operation run by a What.CD member.
Woah. Lots of stupid posts in this thread. Good thing ignore exists. Too bad it doesn't work on the Post/Modify message page.

well sorry for having a shitty ISP that throttles my inthernet so bad that a badly seeded torrent could even saturate it to the point that i cant even load a page from google.com... sadly i cant profit from a seedbox, unless i wanted to upload/seed that badly. heh... /smirk
Freedom Kira:
Thankfully, most of the rest of the world has a better connection than you. It'd be nice if you didn't assume everyone else has the same kind of connection you do.
Tiffanys - I believe there's a seedbox thread in the Help forum somewhere with some good suggestions.
