Kyle Ohme — In the life of a dot com

I must have been under a rock for the past year, this is the first time that I have heard of a product like this.  I’m actually very amazed on how practical this could be in many scenarios. 

I have no shortage of PC’s running in my house (MAME, 2 Laptops, Media Center, Desktop and Server) so for me its harder to justify other then the geek factor.  (I have spent $100 in worse ways in the past).

I would guess the perfect scenario would be the individual with a laptop they take with them all day.  This device would sit on the network and continue the download even when the laptop is gone.

engadget has a nice write up on it.

The BitTorrent and HTTP / FTP server clients all reside in the box and are accessible through your web browser, allowing you to engage in all sorts of energy-saving activities — like downloading lots of “films” without the need for any computers around. According to the review, the whole package can be yours for around $100. Of course, you can get all the thrilling details if you simply hit the read link.
