Magnet links are an alternative to torrent files, containing the necessary information to download the torrent file itself via the BitTorrent protocol.

If you need to save the actual torrent file you can do so after the torrent client has downloaded the torrent file itself.

Understanding Seedboxes

Introduction: Beyond Flower Boxes - Understanding the Real Seedbox

No, we are not referring to the boxes you might find adorning a windowsill, overflowing with colorful blooms. In the digital realm, a seedbox is a remote server specifically engineered for the secure, anonymous, and high-speed uploading and downloading of torrents. Think of it as a computer housed in a distant data center, much like accessing your files on a personal hard drive or through cloud storage services, but equipped with an incredibly fast internet connection. Its core function is to facilitate torrenting and file management with speeds that can significantly outperform regular internet connections, making the entire process remarkably efficient. In fact, utilizing a seedbox can enhance the torrenting experience to a degree that feels exponentially better than traditional methods.  

These powerful servers typically boast bandwidth ranging from 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) to an impressive 20 gigabits per second (Gbit/s). To put this into perspective, a seedbox with such high-speed capabilities can download a large file, such as a 1-gigabyte file, in less than half a minute. This rapid transfer rate is just one of the many advantages that make seedboxes an attractive option for users who frequently engage with torrents.  

The primary benefits that draw users to seedboxes include enhanced privacy and anonymity while torrenting, the ability to bypass bandwidth throttling imposed by internet service providers (ISPs), and an overall improved torrenting experience characterized by speed and reliability. Seedboxes can truly revolutionize how one interacts with torrents, offering a smoother and more efficient process. Beyond their primary use for torrents, seedboxes are also commonly employed for a variety of other internet activities, including streaming media, creating backups of important data, participating in IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks, and accessing Usenet newsgroups. Therefore, a seedbox is not limited to just BitTorrent file sharing but serves as a versatile remote server for numerous online needs.
