Let's face it, home internet connection sucks (especially upstream) and its just impossible to maintain a 1:1 ratio. What do you guys use for bit torrent box? Expectations are of course a fast internet connection and preferably in a country that has more open copyright laws.

What do you mean by "its just impossible to maintain a 1:1 ratio"? What kind of ratio would you prefer?
I think I read somewhere that a ration of 1:1.5 (download:upload) in general would be preferable so the file gets distributed to more and more people.

And what do you mean by "bit torrent box"?

I assume he means his home internet connection upload is so slow that he can't manage to upload as much as he downloads.

And by bittorrent box I assume he means a VPS(Virtual Private Server) or something like that. So a remote server with a fast upload connection so he can run his torrent software there and have them well seeded.

I'm not familiar with what's available out there since I do everything on my private server with my home connection which is fast enough for me(20/10 Mb) so sorry, I can't help with that.
