BitTorrent Certified

BitTorrent is the global standard for distributing high-quality files over the Internet. You can begin your download and then turn your computer off while your TV shows or Music tracks download. With thousands of newly-released movies, TV shows, music tracks, and popular PC games available for download, you can easily find what you want, when you want it.

The Advantage of this feature is two fold, the first being that powerconsumption of the unit is sub 25 Watts per hour compared to over 200 Watts per hour on a standard PC. The second being that most PC hard drives are not designed for the volume of usage they expirrence when downloading and hence shorten the lifespan of the drive within the computer.

5 Excellent piece of Kit

SmartMAC | 31/10/2008 | See all SmartMAC's reviews (2)

Got this from another website. I had been looking at the previous model for ages expecting it to come down in price. It didn't so I went for the newer model.
The main reason I got this was the print server and the 500Gb HDD but it does so much more.
The web share facilty works a treat and it's very easy to set up. It lets me access all my files from the iphone. On a decent wifi spot I can stream any of the mpeg4 movies directly to the iphone. Music is not a problem even on 3G.
Desktop backup software included is very good and easy to set up. The station itself has a scheduled backup system if you want to back up the drive a USB device connected to it.
I have not played with the media server or the energy saving facility yet.
