I have many Tbs I want to download & don’t have the space plus I don’t have the $ to invest in large amounts of storage so I’ve been trying to learn about Seedboxes here and around the net and it seems like it might be a solution to my needs but I have so many questions.

Is a seedbox just for remote torrenting and moving files to and from your computer?

Can you logon to a seedbox and direct download files from a website into the seedbox?

Can you create torrents in the seedbox for posting to torrent sites?

Are seedboxes mainly for keeping ratios up on private trackers or do they also accept open trackers as well?

Do you have to worry about DMCA notices with a seedbox?/Can seedboxes see what you transfer?

Can seedboxes be used with a VPN for optimum privacy or is there even a need?

What are some of the best seedboxes which leave a minimal, trackable footprint & preferably use US currency?

Any helpful guidance would be most appreciated. Thank You!

    That’s something I’m interested in also as I’ve just got a surge protector right now but I’m not sure what to buy. Again, I’m not the best with hardware but I’ve got that on my radar. Thanks!

      I started with a small APC UPS which most protect drives/devices from anything from a brownout to full power cut for you to power down those devices.

      I protect my NAS / router / modem which the former has a USB port that can connect to the UPS via a data port and allows it to monitor the battery level and, if it sees it getting to a X low power level emails me and then shuts it down gracefully. Awesome thingys and there’s other ways of monitoring them
