For sure, such a seedbox is probably the best option for torrenting. When you to
rrent, even for just a little, you're announcing that you will also upload. It's
 just how torrents work.

Personally, I recommend against using torrents at all. All the stuff is on usene
t. It's just getting harder and harder to find and get stuff off usenet these da
ys, especially for free.

My torrent-over-VPN use case is when I'm at an airport waiting for a flight. The
re's a website that gives magnet links for episodes of TV shows you set in a lis
t. For whatever reasons, torrents don't work on the wifi at some of the airports
 I frequent. So, to get a few episodes of shows to watch while on the plane, I u
se a VPN to get around whatever's blocking the torrents. In this situation, I'm 
just a temporary device in a very public area, so I'm not too concerned about wh
at information ends up at the torrent tracker.
