A seedbox is, basically, a dedicated server at a high speed data center with a public IP address to help bittorrent being downloaded and seeded. Anyone who has access to a seedbox is able to download those files to their own computers whenever they like and wherever they are as long as they have an Internet connection. When people within a torrent community utilize a dedicated server or VPS to boost their upload on trackers, they use the term ‘seedbox’. Typically, a seedbox has a very fast connection (with a range between 10Mb/s to 1000Mb/s) and is accessed by the user remotely. Seedboxes are available for renting in exchange for monthly or annually fees. Users beneficiate from the fast speed and can quickly reach high ratios on torrents, consequently increasing their upload to the tracker.
