Essentially its a paid seed box. It has most things already cached, and if it doesn't, you can copy in a magnetic link and it'll torrent it for you and save it to your account cloud (and presumably make it available for other users but it counts against your credits so delete it when you've watched it).
Personally, I've rarely had to get it to pull a feed for me, it has nearly everything I've wanted cached already.
