Sure, a lot of stuff is copyrighted, but there are also some legit uses. Seriously.

I've always wanted my "downloads to continue, but PC to be off". So this is a good thing. Not that I'll be upgrading anytime soon, but nice to know things are advancing in some small way. Now, the only problem is how bug-free the implementations are - and I definitely won't be buying one with an embedded HD. External eSATA or USB 2.0 is fine for me, though.

Open source firmware even finer, I think.]]>Oct 23rd 2006 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/23/bittorrent-clients-coming-to-nases-and-routers-pc-less-download/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/23/bittorrent-clients-coming-to-nases-and-routers-pc-less-download/ "Most people I know leave their PCs on 24/7 anyway so what's the big deal? I must be missing something."

Yeah I'm occasionally one of them. I got into the habit, when I got into peer-to-peer downloading. I suspect the same is true for a lot of people. But now that I pay my own electric bills, if I DON'T have any torrents or such downloading, I turn my system off at night.
And I think other people might like to have that option back without having to give out their downloading capabilities.

When I get done with school and return to the US I'll be with my folks again for a while, but even so I don't want to waste power anymore. I've been hoping to pick up a NAS device so I could access all my data from any of the machines in the house anyway...this added funtionality is just icing on the cake. A NAS device with p2p (here's hoping for a Limewire client in the future) and a used tablet PC (circa Celeron @500mhz) soon to be purchased on eBay as my always on (but often sleeping) email and voip interface and I'm good to roll. My primary and secondary PCs will only be turned on while actively in use, and my laptop(s) will be free to go where I go, when I want to go...

As for this being predated by a hacked router...yes it was. And plenty of people have kept around older systems when they've bought/built new ones and used them as basicaly dedicated p2p machines. The concept isn't news, but the increasing availability of purpose built out-of-the box capable units with built in storage is. To some people anyway...
