Using a torrent client with lots of connections my (Snow) Leopard used to get stalled (it just hangs and no app seems to be responding, but the GUI remains mostly functional though). The solution seems to be a bit of a network tweaking.

Helios Odyssey is capable of handling 1TB internal storage (via hard drives that one can build in) and has 3 USB ports and the firmware supports torrent downloads (and Emule, but who cares for that ). Unfortunately there's no RAID option, but for torrents one does not really need RAID.

I use it mostly to keep updated on movies and TV shows, but the site contains news of apps and games releases too. The good stuff is that it used to include torrent links too.

A huge and public torrent tracker. It's one of the biggest public servers (ie. not requiring you to register or be invited) out there. You'll find most new movies and TV series here (and of course everything else too ).

One of the biggest torrent search engines out there. It means this site does not serve as a tracker itself, it just indexes real trackers. I use this all the time.

The first episode of the second season of Heroes was aired just a couple of hours ago and this morning my main torrent trackers are down. I wonder whether this is just a coincidence or maybe people overloaded them with requests to the point where the trackers had to give up?
