Hello Everyone,i need a convenient torrent downloading solution,as these days Electricity cut is a major problem for me,please suggest me a reliable torrent downloading solution.Also,i should be able to access/view those downloaded files remotely!
The options come in my mind:
Buy a Router with inbuilt torrent client capabilities?
or
Buy a Android Based Smartphone and use it as torrent downloader
Also,here comes a question in my mind,is it possible that i can attach a external hard disk with Android Smartphone?
And the setup should consume as less as 20W~40W,not even 41W.
The Budget is strictly upto 6.5K!

Why do you think that downloading torrents using Android is not recommended and not a good idea?Except that Battery Reason :p

Sounds a good option,but will it allow me to access files remotely?
And about dealextreme,will they ship to Inida via Cash On Delivery?What are the shipment charges like Octroi,Taxes etc?

For the torrent download solution,i won't even spend 6.6k,6.5k is the maximum limit i can spend,and the media player i have seen it,it will consume about 50-60 W,it is also too much costlier-9k:shock:

Teamviewer is a big piece of Crap..I used it,it requires high bandwidth such as 2mbps or so!It's not a worth method of copying/transferring/viewing files remotely!
And how can i make my own "Network Attached Storage":|

Check this Router : ASUS RT-N13U. Using it for last 6 months and it works really fine. It supports USB Disk 32GB max with default firmware and have inbuilt Bittorrent Client too. ASUS Aidisk FTP feature allow to access data of USB Disk via ftp client from anywhere.

There are a few custom firmwares available at DD-Wrt. Check this thread at TechEnclave. Custom firmware removes 32GB disk size barrier and you can install better Bittorrent Client, a lot of other packages to add a few extra features.

I purchased it from HomeShop18. It costed me around 2700 that time. Just Google and you can find free coupons worth 300+. It will cost you around 2800+.

There is a version confusion in that router..!Flipkart Staff doesn't knows whether they are having the revision B1 version or not in their stock!
And also,it has only got one USB Port,can i attach a USB Hub and use USB Ports?And also the FTP option is not worth it as it would consume/require high bandwidth say 4mbps or more if i remotely want to access files,i need a method where there is no requirement of high bandwidth(4Mbps or more) for sharing files remotely!Only Internet Connection should be there,as i don't have such amount of high speeds available on my home..i.e,my Broadband Connection has only 512kbps:-(

AFAIK, only B1 version is available now. I have confirmed this from HomeShop18 at that time.

Regarding USB, default firmware support only one USB disk but with DD-WRT firmware, you can use multiple disks, partitions.

So the Cheapest solution is that Asus RT-N13U Router?
and you have mentioned about multiple disks,partitions what about USB?Can i attach multiple USB/USB Hub with DD-WRT Firmware?
Accessing files remotely is a main problem,because whenever i am out of my Home,i should be able to access my files online via Galaxy Y or my Dell XPS from my Desktop.As i am out of my house most of the time,so any method which could use less bandwidth(not 4Mbps)as i have only 512Kbps Unlimited.
