ASUS WL-520gU as torrent downloader

[dinjo]

How does the display of Router look like ? Especially for Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH as i dont know how it works how can i check how much of download is completed ? As the router itself would be downloading with no CPU or Monitor on

Another question being can the port be changed on utorrent to use a proxy ?

Better buy a Seagate Dockstar if you want to use it as torrent downloader. See this thread for more info:

I guess Asus N13 will download torrent as well as http.

The Dockstar will also do the same.

Can this be set to download torrents in win7 and a normal ext. hdd?

I used it for a while but it's not stable at all. Anymore than 3 torrents at a time overloads the router's tiny Processor and communication with the router's Linux/torrent is over telnet and ssh.

Most of the times router restarts due to overload and the torrent data is lost, then it takes a lot of time when restarting the torrent for re-verification.

It overdrives a pen drive, this may cause the PD/Flash drive to die faster. You cannot use a 2.5'' portable HDD as it requires a lot of power from the USB port. The only solution is to use an External HDD with it's own power block.
