So I am currently getting into the world of torrenting and I want to start building up my ratio to try my hand at private trackers in the future. From what I’ve gathered, the most hassle-free option for me would be to buy a seedbox. What gets me confused however, is how the torrenting ratio is tracked and recorded.

As far as I understand, a seedbox is a lot like a remote access desktop where I will interact with my torrenting client (qbittorrent) to download and upload whatever I need. But what if I decide to change the provider in the future? Or decide to go for my own local set up? How do I transfer my ratio and not lose all that progress? Would I always have to use the same client?
