[ubuntu-uk] Idea- Torrents!

[Ciaran Mooney]

Hi,

I've been thinking of doing something like this for a long time. I
believe a distinction needs to be made between the application and the
machine.

Application :

Download a torrent, you place it in a directory, your torrent client
then detects the torrent file and begins the download. I would imagine
all the torrenting is out-sourced to the external device. The torrent
file will be saved to the mounted hard drive of the external device
The external device runs the torrent application and once its done
saves it to the USB hard drive it is attached to. When you turn on
your PC, it mounts the torrent device along with the hard drive, and
you can access the downloads.

Device :

NSLUG could do this, I have an old laptop with a dead screen that
would also be perfect.
