Raspberry Pi at last has a formidable challenger - The Beaglebone Black

Just the size of a credit card - The board itself is quite cool. It runs a AM335x 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with graphics accelerator and has two 46-pin headers for IO, making it ideal for monitoring and robotics.
It can run Android and Ubuntu linux and connects to the Internet via Ethernet or a USB Wi-Fi dongle. Interestingly, the entire board is open source, allowing you to download and tweak the design to suit your needs.

sounds easy, if you can get a linux distri running on this, even with basic commandline access, you can set up Transmission. Set the properties in T such that it picks up torrents from a predefined directory and auto downloads them.

probably, but you'll kill your pen drive...it is flash memory after all, and has a limited number of write cycles.
