A question I had as someone new to these private tracking sites -
Do you guys use these private trackers always or only when you you can't find something on regular open sites?

Yes, also software releases on these sites are slow. FSS sites release these softwares faster and then appear on private torrent sites after 2-3 weeks

A good option for seedbox: giga-rapid.com
They offer well priced seedbox's. As low as INR 91/month. Good thing, they accept payments using UPI/Paytm! No need to get involved with a CC. Been using it for 4 days, and services are good. Fast way to boost ratios or support the community.

How does these seedboxes work. As much I understand, you have to maintain a ratio of 1:1. You will download twice then? One on your local machine and then again on that seedbox to seed double?

No, you can just grab the file directly from the seedbox using ftp or ddl where available.

Are seedboxes only for uploading or do they assist in downloading as well? I mean with slow speeds from public trackers.

That is entirely dependent on the seeders and their upload speeds, there will be torrents where you won't be able to utilize your seedbox limits.

Not entirely, no. It depends on how much restriction/throttling ISP decides to put in. Running 2 connections side by side. One gives full upload speeds, other gives less then 1/10th of that. Same torrent running at same time.

I'm talking about seedboxes where local ISP's don't matter.

The admins keep posting that it isn't serious and that it's just a small problem but the site and IRC chan have been down for almost a month now, I've heard everything from a disagreement between admins to raids from authorities but no one can say for certain at this point of time, I'm considering it dead for now.
