put.io isn't a traditional seedbox. They do caching + dedup + transcode + chromecast etc. It's sort of like seedbox + plex and the UI is quite clean. It's not geared towards the private tracker crowd. It's for casual users who use public trackers, and it's a pretty good service for that. Casual users don't care about ratios. They just don't want to get notices from their ISPs.

Now I get what put.io is for.

I was commenting earlier from the perspective of preserving content for longer and also making sure that it can be available for people in the future. From that angle, this service doesn’t help. For example, there are many people building and maintaining content archives for the long term.
