    well, its basically upload and download speed for me as i have a crap home connection and it as the added bonus of being a bit safer.

    Definitely to boost my ratio, sure as jackflash pointed out, extra safety is a great bonus, but I normally don't download with my home connection from places with large amounts of peers or easy to get into trackers so I don't worry much about that either way.

    I am a total ratioslut!
    I use a seedbox because I want highest ratio and highest buffer!
    I actually don't use the files i download, so I just download big freeleech files and seed.

    OMG. I need to check on my ratio again. BRB.

    I use mine for the extra security. I always have been paranoid about getting 'the letter' (although in Australia they really couldn't care less, but still), so I decided to buy a seedbox. I basically download all my movies and TV shows to that, and then HTTP download them back to my computer at full speed. Works great, plus nothing to worry about :)

    Home connection for upload is a bit slow, also there is a cap on total data transfer (counts upload and download together). Ratio boost is just an additional advantage.

    Mainly for maintaining ratios on trackers as the upload portion of my home connection is too slow to be able to maintain a reasonable ratios on trackers.

    Download things faster, boost ratios, and the other pluses that come from having my own VPS/dedi.

    I believe very highly in open source projects and therefore like to spread them through seedboxes!
