What is a seedbox? It is a web host designed for hosting torrent files. It comprises of two main parts. The first is the seedbox client, which is where you load torrent files into. A seedbox client looks and functions in a very similar way to desktop torrent clients such as utorrent. You can add torrents, see their download progress (which will be very fast on a seedbox), and you can manage torrents you have seeding for other users.
The second part of a seedbox is the FTP server. Seedboxes come configured with an FTP server to allow you to download your files back to your home PC. A good quality FTP client which you can use to connect to the FTP server on your seedbox is CuteFTP. CuteFTP is a fantastic and fast FTP client as it supports multi segmented downloading.
Seedboxes are becoming more popular is they are very fast at downloading because they are hosted on super-fast network connections. They are also popular as they protect your privacy when downloading files from the internet.
