Seeders on private trackers often use seedboxes. I can saturate my gigabit connection with just one or two torrents downloading.

But then you need to deal with the complexity and maintenance involved in using a private tracker. Easier to pay for a provider or two and an indexer and be done with it.

Of course, private trackers are superior when it comes to older content and general availability (no DMCA or NTD to worry about).
