It seems to depend on if you generate complaints. If you're not causing problems for them they won't likely care. Goes for most seedboxes, actually.

That, I no like it. I understand it, but not like it.

It's like being at their mercy (or other clients) or like if the rules were written in the shore's sand, you're well until the tide rises. I would prefer clear lines into this kind of things.

So you'd prefer them to what? Go to court so people can keep seeding illegal torrents? They'd never win in court and it would be business suicide.

I was not referring here about the "activity" per se, I was talking about quotas and percentages of use. No matter for what kind of activity you are going to use the service, I would like to have clear from the beginning what limits of use I have.

Another thing completely different is the permissibility about certain illegal activities or loopholes in their servers. That's not my concern, that's only a question of moral/ethics/legal between the client, the provider and the authorities.

There aren't any limits. I've run my port at 100% for a full month and they've never batted an eye. The only time I've heard of anyone getting the banhammer is for repeatedly getting abuse notifications due to illegal torrenting.
