Hello all,
i'm looking for a Router that can have a torrent installed on it's flash memory in order to allow downloading and storage to a HDD attached to it via usb in the back.
Any hints??

I have a Linksys WRT350n v2 running backfire 10.03. This device has 8MB flash memory (4MB remains after the openwrt install) and 32MB RAM.
For torrents I installed transmission wich downloads to a 250GB external HDD attached to the USB2 port. To manage the downloads I use the webUI (also available in the repo's) and transdroid for my android phone.
The only problem I had was a shortage of RAM memory when downloading large files (larger than 2-4GB). Creating a swap file on the external HDD solved this.
So, basically any router with 8MB or more flash memory and a USB2 port would do the job.
You can choose one from here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start#suppo … outer.type
Personally I would recommend the netgear WNDR3700v2 or WNDR3800 -> 16MB flash and 64-128MB RAM (probably no swap file needed).
The discussion might have continued from here.
