I've got a
4-port USB ethernet jobber. It's okay, but only as quick as your network. It uses the disks in their existing configuration, rather than do anything clever with them. Does printers, too, but does only allow one PC to connect and requires a client. The bittorrent thing seems a little unneccesary unless you have a specific need to access them that way, rather than as a share.

as they use NTFS aswell. - But unsure whether they have torrenting.

I have gigabit
And for me it would be handy, as the electric bill is getting really high, so I need to turn the computer off as much as possible.
