Techopedia Explains Seedbox
A seedbox is primarily used in torrent file downloading applications and services. Typically, a seedbox is connected to a high speed network and provides a download and upload speed of 100 Mpbs to several Gbps. A seedbox works when the BitTorrent protocol is used to store files and data on it from a remote/local computer. The seedbox then feeds or uploads the data to all connected users. Having a higher bandwidth capability, a seedbox generally enables file downloads or uploads more quickly than downloads or uploads to a standard peer computer.
