Thecus 5200 with torrent client?

[enjoy_the_music]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a Thecus 5200.

I am wondering if i can install a torrent client on the server? so that when i turn off my main PC the Thecus will still act as a torrent client.

Thanks for your help.

How configurable is the BT function in 'download manager' in the N4100+? Can i keep a file for seeding after completion based on ratio or only a specified number of hours? If only an amount of hours, what is the maximum value you can set?

How many simultaneous BT sessions can be active (eg 3 download with 7 seeding is possible?)

Are you thinking about adding the feature?

You can put a regular linux distro on the n5200. There are a pair of web pages on doing that with Debian. I'm going to try it with Gentoo shortly.

... I don't want to mess up what it's already doing I'd prefer to add it on...
