Running a torrent platform.

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-03 3:25

Ever heard of a kuro box? From what I hear they use very little electricity to run, and their perfect if you're going to be downloading/uploading a bunch of stuff. The only problem? You need to really familar with Linux. Well...that leaves me out. I've no problems running Linux, it's just that I prefer a GUI to work with, so having to type a bunch of stuff out isn't something I want to do. In other words, I want to be able to click a bunch of stuff, save the settings, turn off the computer, and still have the torrents downloading/uploading.

I've done some looking and I think LinkStation may be a better alternative. Also, if I sound like I don't know a lot of stuff of what I'm talking about, that's because I don't. I don't mind doing some learning; I just want it to be simple enough to where I know what it is I'm doing.

That's the opposite of your point, dude, not your point exactly.

Anyway, NAS devices don't have general-purpose CPUs, and they aren't meant to run software like BitTorrent.

(Also, no consumer desktop has a 1,200 Watt power supply. My desktop machine has a 300 Watt one, and it uses about 200 of that with a heavy load. When it's just running a torrent client, it barely breaks 30 Watt. Laptops would use even less.)
