No, anything that your seedbox downloads won't come off your monthly usage that you get from your ISP.

Once the seedbox has completed its download, you can FTP into the Seedbox and download your files. This is when it comes off your monthly quota.

Or its just something that runs off a server and I can shut my computer down and it still downloads stuff to the seedbox or my pc needs to be on?
Your local PC does not need to be switched on in order for your seedbox to download. All you do is connect to your seedbox, load the torrent files you want to download and then it starts downloading... You can then disconnect your PC from the seedbox and your seedbox will continue to download.

If you want to seed a torrent from your seedbox then you'll need to FTP up your files (FLAC, VOB etc) from your local PC to the Seedbox and then you can use the seedbox to seed your torrent.
