I have a dedicated netbook on which I can download and keep it on 24/7 if required. I downloaded some of the biggest games released last year on this netbook which I bought in 2009 for approx $200. Hard drive is plenty (300+ GB). More/externals can be added through usb if required.

i considered that too,but i was hoping for some cheaper option...
i heard that a rasberry pi can also be used for similar purpose,but i doubt i can find it here..

Android's have torrents. So you can buy a used phone @5k or less and run torrent on it.

Issue comes with storage, and you will encounter that issue with a rasberry pi as well. And you probably can find a rasberry pi here if you look, or you can import it via jshak, amagi, etc....

There are routers which can download torrents with external hard disk attached to them.

There is a dedicated software interface in router accessed through assigned IP.

Okay the thread might be old
But I would recommend getting a pi Rasberry / Bananna /Orange
Reasons:
1.You get a complete computer
2.You can do lot more the downloading
For 2.Just think of it as a low power pc that will always be on

Get an iphone/ipod touch 32gb/16gb. Jailbreak it & install insomnia+Itransmission. I have been downloading torrents for the past 2 years using this method on iphone 3gs.
