[ubuntu-uk] Idea- Torrents!

[Javad Ayaz]

OK ill try and clarify…a torrent client running in ubuntu e.g Ktorrent. I
start a torrent. The save location is an external usb hard drive. The
torrent starts. I happily switch off my pc. The download finishes. I startup
my pc (whenever)..and download is there.
