Seedbox

A seedbox is a server that can be rented that's usually located in a data center with very fast download and upload speeds. These servers are equipped with a torrent client and are typically used for uploading, automatic downloading, and buffer building on private trackers.

Seedboxes are usually hosted in piracy friendly countries and ones that want to keep their users safe don't keep logs. If a copyright notice is sent to one of these seedbox providers then they will not forward it as they don't have any records on that user to prove anything. In practice, a seedbox has the same effect as a VPN in terms of keeping a user safe but with the added bonus of very good speeds.
