What is a Seedbox?
A seedbox is a dedicated, high-speed server for downloading files. Most people rent seedboxes to achieve fast torrent or Usenet transfers. Typically, you will see speeds from 100Mbps (8MB/s) to 10Gbps (1250MB/s) on a seedbox.
A seedbox also allows you to avoid ISP throttling and bypass eavesdroppers like the RIAA or MPAA.
Not everyone needs a seedbox — downloading directly from Usenet works for many people. However, you may want a seedbox if you share a lot of files, or want to get a good ratio on a private BitTorrent tracker.

Awesome post! Thanks for the share.
I look forward to seeing more from rapidseedbox and it could come in handy in downloading CCTV footage for our clients.
RapidSeedbox is promising!
Investing for as little as $1,000 may sound to good to be true. But it doesn’t get any more legit than Seedbox.
