Highly unlikely. I'm not sure if clubbox is a variant of BT, but it looks like a specialized form of FTP, but more efficient.

More efficient than FTP? that's not really possible since FTP will go as fast as your connection will go
Now, if anyone here remembers FSP, which was pretty much like the very first P2P protocol, well, it would probably be more efficient than that.

You won't really "see" it unless you have a bandwidth meter. If you want to upload to your own clubbox, I believe the button to do it is orange. Not sure, I never really set up a clubbox for uploading. I leech from others

The problem with Clubbox is that the files you upload expire unless enough people download it, and in regular intervals. The goal is to become a "gold" box, but I don't know what the criteria is to be one. The files in a gold box never expire. I know that JEM's box recently became gold.

^^Yeah, that is the norm. If you leech from someone's box, they get points. The more points you get, the closer you become to going gold. If you go gold, your file storage is permanent. What happens is your daily points are averaged each month. On your inspection day, if you have 500 points, BAM, you're gold. It's pretty difficult to get gold so people are always running around pimping their boxes saying "Download from MY box!". When you get gold, you have 1 TB of storage. If you need more, you have to be able to communicate in Korean to request it from a Clubbox Admin.
The points for clubbox are a ratio of your total file storage and the amount downloaded, then averaged out over the days. So, when you are trying to go gold, your best bet is to upload unique files that not many people have so there'll be a demand to download from your box. Also, don't upload a TON of stuff at once or even over a short period. I'd suggest at the beginning to keep your storage under 2 GB until you know how popular your box is becoming. You can also have it so that if people PM you for requests to upload something, upload it and you know people will leech it.
Uploading to a silver box, your files only last 10 days. If your box gets demoted to bronze, you can't upload at all. You have to wait for it to go back up to silver. It's sort of like a punishment for getting no points.
Unfortunately Jem's box took a long time to go gold. Although his files are popular, people still had the BT alternative. Plus there were a lot of files in there. On top of that, people were uploading his files to their boxes and splitting the opportunity to get leechers. So the files would be deleted after 10 days and there weren't enough points being earned. If you upload a file to your clubbox that is already in others, your upload is much faster because it's a partial "internal transfer".
