Seedboxes on high speed networks are typically able to download large files within minutes, provided that the swarm can actually handle such a high upload bandwidth. Seedboxes generally have download and upload speeds of 100 megabits per second. This means that a 1 [[Gigabyte|GB]] file can finish downloading in under 2 minutes. That same 1 gigabyte file can be uploaded to other users in the same amount of time, creating a 1:1 upload:download ratio for that individual file. Seedboxes' ability to transfer files so quickly makes them very attractive to the [[File sharing|P2P]] and BitTorrent communities. Because of the mentioned high speeds, seedboxes tend to be popular inside private torrent trackers, where maintaining an upload/download ratio above 1 can be very important.
Seedboxes are also used to circumvent "speed throttling" by [[Internet service provider]]s or to evade laws such as the [[HADOPI law]] in France.<ref name="reasons">{{cite web |url=http://torrentfreak.com/10-reasons-why-you-need-a-seedbox-080715/ |title=Speed Up Your Torrent Downloads, Get a Seedbox |date=2008-07-15 |publisher=TorrentFreak |author=sharky}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.seedboxlist.com/seedboxnews/6910-10-reasons-why-you-need-a-seedbox.html |title=Advantages on owning a Seedbox |date=2012-03-14 |publisher=SeedBoxList }}</ref>
