How do you Download Torrents' without a Torrent Client??

Perhaps if you could add an External HDD to your Fritz(l)Box, and add some kind of Client there. :/

Oh well this is eventually my plan anyway.

After all we should all do our parts to remain green. My idea of "Green" being / having more "Green" at the end of the Month / Year by not having to leave the PC on an All-nighter to download Micorsofts latest Gem....

Just Kidding!! That would be wrong! And after all Microsoft latest "Gem"is far from being precious!

But A PC-Less Torrent Router for Downloading Feisty-Ferret (or whatever it's called these days is just the ticket!!)

Personally I can't wait for KTorrent to finish coming out on Windows and Mac. Integrated search, lots of tweakability, built-in IP blocking, plugins, and seeding ratio caps make for a super fast client that does everything you could want it to do.

I did try uTorrent once and gave up after it proved to be ass-slow at downloading things, even with the same settings as KTorrent.

Been using this on a Mac for ages. Works great

The NETGEAR line of ReadyNAS (used to be Infrant ReadyNAS) products like the ReadyNAS Duo, NV+, and Pro have a built-in official BitTorrent client, and so you can download BitTorrent files directly to the NAS, and with the Duo for example only consuming about 25W of power, you're pretty damn green compared to leaving your PC on - I do this at home :-)

"Tux" because ReadyNAS is based on a Linux 2.6 core.

Yes, Transmission is the only way to go on a mac

same here a vote for transmission, very light load on the system, simple and elegant

it has ip blocking and encryption

I loved Azureus but they changed the name to zorba or something and for downloading transmission does the job just fine. All the lovely extra plugins on Azureus are sweet but since BT started fucking me over with their FUD horseshit I kill everything off when the ratio hits 1:1 so transmission is all I need.

I think a small bitorrent capable box already exist... I've been looking into getting some sort of media caddy that is capable of both hdmi output, and playback of mkv container formats, basically because I hate having my media centre warming the room up and whirring every few minutes..... so far I've found:

I'm tempted by the popcorn system mainly... and from the looks of it it also has built in support for bittorrent protocols so you should be able to do what you want. Not a fan of bittorrents really though, tends to crash the cheap routers I've been getting from the last few ISP's I used.... so newsgroups all the way!! :)

it µTorrent!

M. TORRENT.
