Dear All,
I have Apple mac book pro 2012 13 inches and HP mini 3007TU.

Also have many torrents, which I want to download and also upload many torrents.

Using BSNL night unlimited, which is to start at 2 am and close at 8 am.

now I do not want my laptops to be doing all the job.

Do u know any other device, which can do it, with wifi or wired support from ADSL modem,

External HD support can also be given..

Pi is a good choice, low cost - low power.
NAS Drive would be better if you have the budget ..

how can you say that.there s no ratio proof in the picture:p

@anirbandd ^I mentioned the source below ;)

i was just joking bro [its showing seeding, but there is no upload speed].. its obvious, with the kind of net service, almost no one can be a good seeder in india. my highest ratio was around 0.4 on a 12gig thing. ;) i only seed during the duration of dl to 0.2-0.3 ratio..

for downloading and uploading torrents, seriously are u gonna spend 20 K ?
DD-WRT is a custom firmware for many brands of routers.. if u install it, you can get support for downloading torrents without PC on routers (although some routers come with this feature already)
You will need J-tag cable utility for flashing on some routers, so make sure you buy a router that doesnt need it

PS- Im also looking for a J-tag cable myself (for other purposes)
