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. <div>On 29/04/2008, Seif Attar <<a href="mailto:iam@seifattar.net">iam@seifattar.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Javad Ayaz wrote: > anyone have any experience with this.? surely im not the first one to > think of this? > > How can i run this in buntu thou? i dont wana dual boot with > anything...im happy with my buntu!!! :) > ok, if i understood what you want correctly, you want a device that will doenload your torrents for you, and then simply use the files from ubuntu?? or do you want the device to run ubuntu? The easiest way about it, is to have some device connected to the network, running a service that will download torrents (torrentflux?), and share the download directory on the network, then from your ubuntu machine mount that share, and you can access the files downloaded while you pc is off! :) for that device you can use the nslu2 or any other Network Access Storage, I had a freecom fsg-3, whicch worked nice after some hacking. or you can build your own with an old computer lying around. I don't know much about all this deiffernt architechtures and how ubuntu supports them, but the nslu2 and the freecom fsg are ARM, i dont know how friendly uibuntu is with running on it. debian has been ported and works on both. hope this helps Seif A. -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/">https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
