do i need a seedbox on this tracker?

...
The album that I listen to sound the same as yours
The movies that I watch look the the same as yours
they don't smell foul
...

The point is that you have to wait...

The point is: the music still sound just as good one week later
and so are the movies
even with seedbox and given my kind of connection speed, I will still take a long time to dl from the seedbox to my pc.

but even if you do have a box and download it that much quicker (which really isn't much for most people on an ok conncection) you still have to FTP it to your home pc to enjoy it. Besides people rent servers to upload not to get things quicker.

I'm not talking about the quickness of the download speed...
I'm talking about the substantial amount of time it takes to seed back (you know, the whole ratio thing?), which is infinitesimally larger through a home connection than through the pipes of a seedbox.
The time it takes to download something from your seedbox (which you probably stream anyway) is negligible in comparison.

The point is: the music still sound just as good one week later

I guess I have to spell it out...
The foulness of the food was a metaphor for the annoyance of waiting to seed back so you can download more. The old man's lack of health is a metaphor for the lack of speed. The lack of health caused the sourness of his milk (yes, it took him a week to get off his rocking chair - and he forgot to plug in the frig because he has Alzheimers ), just as a lack of speed causes annoyance.
Get it now?

I understand you way back in your earlier post.

lol...I don't find seeding back an annoyance so I guess it's no biggy for me. I like to leave torrents seeding for ages not for ratio but so that someone can come back a couple of months later and be able to download that file. Which if I was using a seedbox would be unlikely because of the large cost involved in having a decent amount of hdd space. Don't get me wrong though boxes are great if your an uploader and they make the swarm that much faster. I just don't personally see the need.

Ok, two conditions must be met for the frustration to kick in:
1)You must want to download something
2)You must have a low ratio that needs time to improve
The time of which is inversely correlated to the size of your pipe and exponentially correlated to the amount of frustration a normal person would experience.

It doesn't matter what other intentions you might have, only that you have the intention to download freely whatever you want.

Renting a seedbox for a month in order to create a huge buffer (in order to download freely afterward) does not restrict you from seeding 'till your heart's content from your home connection.

aite 1 thing.
there exists a thing in the world called data caps + sloow upload.
some people are lucky enough to not have one/fast.
others aren't. :-P

I can only speak for myself.
For my home connection, my download speed is 8 times faster than MAX
upload speed. To then go without a seedbox if I am really torrenting a lot
(which I am) would be insane.

If I download something from sct thats not real popular, with my 90kb/s it sometimes sits for weeks and weeks trying to get to 1:1 and I seed 24/7

I gotta agree with this. I have never rented a seedbox, and I have positive ratio's at my sites. Even at harder to seed sites like bmtv. I think the majority of people(not everyone), rent boxes to buffer their accounts and get their stats up for invites and e-penis.

And don't forget like to shout about it from the rooftops, just to make sure we all heard it in case we missed it in a boast post.
