Hi

I am networking newbie and I want to know if I can install file sharing site downloaders like jdownloader,skymonk,cryptload etc on a NAS to use it as a standalone downloader??

Yes, you can, provided it allows you to do so. In this case, am referring to Seagate Go Flex with ArchLinux. #[member='varkey'] can give more help on this.

It would be better if you could mention the hardware you plan to use.

No idea..Looking for the cheapest possible that just serves the purpose i.e standalone downloading so that i dont need to turn up my pc for downloading..

How about this one???Reviews seems good..

In that case go for the pogo plug for USB drives and the Seagate go flex net for sata 2.5 drives

#[member='dinjo'] for pogo plug

pyLoad takes care of all filehosters but i dont recommend a low power download box if you plan to download from filesharing sites , these work best with torrents,
