Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.

That's not just downside, that's two downsides - first is paying for seedbox, second is ever bothering with building ratio with freeleech torrents (meaning downloading stuff you don't need) 😉

The seedbox is well worth the investment. For the same price as some VPNs you have total protection from copyright trolls, and usually the option to use it as VPN anyway. As for downloading stuff you don't want - it doesn't matter - it's seeding for someone else. Just leave it on your seedbox and forget about it.

So choose if those downsides outweigh the upsides.
