High speed download 

Seed box are the ones inside data centres that provide incredibly high speed data to the users. The users get the speed from 10Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s. The speed of the seed box is so fast that it is because of the hard disk that the speed is being control. Some of the vendors are also now providing SSD seed boxes in order to provide a greater speed that a normal seed box. Seed box is a reason where you don’t have to wait for larger files to be download. Seed box provide a speed where an OS can be download in 40s, a full blue ray movie in just 2minutes. There is only one limitation to the seed box is that after you have downloaded the file to the seed box it take usual time to be downloaded from the seed box to your pc which depends on your personal network.

Privacy/safety :
As seed box helps you to download torrents from the internet you don’t have to worry about any legal action coming at you as they are remotely hosted. The reason behind is that you’re not actually using the Bit Torrent protocol which monitor’s your IP address. Which makes more difficult for the person to be tracked or to be targeted for downloading torrents, some of the vendor’s also provide free VPN so that your anonymity is maintained. Like when you pay either from your credit cards or from bit coin you don’t have to worry about your personal information is being shared with the seed box provider. So if you want to download torrents without being seeing in the internet or stay anonymous on the internet than you can use seed box.

Ratio:
Most of the public tracker like The Pirate Bay is not provides by many of the seed box because the companies that track and find torrent users are mainly tracked by the public users that’s why it is sensible by not providing public tracker in the seed box. In the public tracker than it will create a problem to maintain the ratio of downloading the files as well as uploading the files. That’s the reason why public tracker is not being included in the seed box. Whereas seed box make it simpler for the user to maintain the ratio. It provide you a large hard drive which helps you to download a file using a private tracker and then upload the file by it’s own which needed no action by the user and also maintains the ratio of the site. As in the above line it gives one more advantage of the seed box that it automatically maintain the site ratio without any help given by the user.

Circumvent ISP’s :
ISP’s can come to very risky when we start using their business. The biggest disadvantage of the ISP is that when it know that you are using more bandwidth than it shape your traffic by slowing down the speed. Whereas a seed box does not do that it doesn’t use torrent traffic on your home ISP.

Convenience :
Seed boxes are better convenient than using the torrents directly by giving you a high speed bandwidth, you can also track RSS feed by downloading the files as soon as they are releasing and anonymously browsing the data with user friendly interface which is very easy to use.
