    With those numbers it's easy to do the math - basically all your activity in that tracker amounts for less than what many power users do in their trackers in one week.

    Nothing wrong with that - after all this is a hobby, and some people spend lots of time and money and some are just casual users.
    The point is, seeding is easy and in general, seedboxes are unnecessary.

    "Power users" who downloads 100's of GBs in a week a likely doing it, well, just to do it.

    Well, it depends on several things, what trackers you use, if you use Waffles/What.cd for instance, it's impossible to keep a good ratio if your connection is too slow, and you start with a 0 buffer... And even with a 100MBit seedbox it was hard to seed, I had to wait for the FreeLeech days to build a decent buffer.

    Some people also don't want to keep their PCs on for 24 to 72h just to avoid warnings/bans, with a seedbox you can turn off your PC without worrying about Hit & Run scripts.
    SOme people only have a laptop to DL/UL, they move a lot and can't let it running at home, in these cases a seedbox is very useful.

    Some people also like to upload, just for the fun of it, and with 30Kbps up you can't upload (...you can, but it takes several days if more than 10 are leeching from you)

    If you're not one of the cases I mentioned, the best way to use a seedbox is to use it just the time to build a good buffer (1 month or 2 max), then when it's done you can stop worrying about seeding or not, just keep utorrent and your PC running for 48/72h to avoid warnings...

    Too expensive for me, i'm going to go with xirvik.com . My limit was 40 bucks, so i'm going to try them out and see how it goes.

    I use seedbox 1 month i make buffer over 900gb on 4 trackers each what worth something, with max 100gb down now im fine for a full year without to use seedbox again! Because all 4 trackers are 0day and they got almost same stuff like all... And imposible is for me to leech almost 4tb with my 5mbs speed!

    Even i download only top games and top movies and i will not brust even 2tb in 12 months!
    In a year il take box again and im fine forever without losing account!

    All seedboxes are way overpriced to have it all the time and get on top10, this is completly worthless. Only ppl what are rich enought and have extra money and have everything what they want have seedboxes and it's cool for them, or those who don't have brain to spend it on something what you realy need, but spend on seedboxes what they not need and not help you in your life at all, and it's not even fun to seed, leech, share i complete waste of time what i waste this month on this seedbox!
