    Saw a Buffalo Link Station Live with 320GB for about 6k+ last month at a local shop. It's basically a NAS with built-in 320GB HDD, an external USB for HDD expansion or as a print server, and 1000BaseT LAN connection. It consumes a mere 21W. No WiFi though. It's also DLNA certified for media streaming.

    I was tempted to buy one but decided to use my existing gateway (ClarkConnect) as the ******* client, since I already leave it up and running 24x7. Just needs additional HDD and the ******* software for it. *******Flux seems promising. I currently don't have a need for media streaming, so I wouldn't miss that feature.

    There should be no difference. But you might want to optimize the ports of your OS so it could download faster.

    At that price, it costs more than my ******* server's cost to set it up.

    rhuwrx, you can fix your port forwarding by going to this site:

    PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

    dati di ko yan ginagawa, I was getting really low speeds sa ******* ko, only 40-70kB/s. Now, I am getting 180-200kB/s. Average of about 150kB/s.

    Good luck

    I am still torn between Popcorn Hour A110 vs a super cheap HTPC for downloading things.

    It's just that i'm still waiting for vendors to sell a Dual Core Atom (330?) + nVidia 9400M. I need kasi an HD player for the tv. And something that can play my FLAC/AAC Lossless collections.

    I plan to run it from my room, then feed everything via HDMI to the sala. I intend to use it as my 24/7 PC for chatting/email/tsikot so I need something that consumes electricity as less as possible.

    I heard Acer will be releasing an Ion nettop. hopefully super mura lang now that Intel has released its Atom Pineview processors.

    If it comes with a desktop HDD, i'll replace it with 7200rpm mobile SATA. Then have a NAS (WD Green series) store everything as Seagate sucks right now with all their sudden death and loss of data.

    Why not just split the difference?... Get the HTPC and the WD digital media player.

    If you are on the cheap, you can buy a 2nd hand 7" netbook computer and use an external USB drive configuration to store the downloaded ******* files.

    The 2nd hand netbook and external HDD is so compact, you can place it inside an existing ATX PC casing with room to spare.

    1TB hard disks only cost P5,500 each. Even cheaper if you try TPC.

    Once I am nearing capacity on my ******* server's 1TB HDD, I'll be adding a second large capacity HDD (not sure if 1TB or 1.5TB or even bigger).
