Androiod dongle is okay only for very small time as most of time dongles don;t have fan they get pretty after extensive usage.
@op if you're okay with DIY stuff get a pogoplug pro install archlinux and use the Pyload it can download from most of the file sharing sites even it can download videos from youtube.
Intriguing. So how long have you been downloading with Pi. What if i use it to download daily 12 hrs. How long will it last in ur estimate.
I managed to download ~>= 500GB of data from PI(on Raspbian), keeping it turned on for 4 days at a stretch (max) until I had no more storage space left.
It can even serve 1 more purpose , if you use OpenELEC(XBMC derivative) on it, it can act as an excellent HTPC solution, I accidentally managed to control it using my Samsung TVs' remote, later I realized it was due to HDMI CEC(Samsung - Anynet+). But I dont think PI can take the load of OpenELEC + deluge(torrent client) all at once.
For more info on Raspberry PI google is your best help. It has tremendous support and is popular as hell.

At what price?
Okay, lets say I get one of those, but what's the OS? I mean I have no interest in those Linux stuffs, so how will I be operating that thing?
I was an ADM user before, but it couldn't accept and download the links I use to download, since then switched to Loader Droid. As I said it's nice, but nothing is comparable with IDM.
No use being so vague, please google more on it. If you want things to be way - too - easy, stay away from Linux.
I get time to sleep 5-6 hours a day. So I don't think if using a thing needed a reading of 2 hours or more it will be my thing, and yes I will stay away from Linux, always.
Don't really understand the meaning of the question, but there are loads of stuffs I download, mainly shows and movies, a movie sizes at 15-20 GB, and I have a mere 2 mbps connection, and obviously in gaming season the games!!
Please don't judge some of us who download constantly 24/7
. We are saving up all the movies/games/tv shows in case an apocalypse strikes and we are stranded in a deserted island with only our laptop Please don't judge some of us who download constantly 24/7
I wonder if laptops are now solar powered ..
Do people download like this in US or UK / europe too ?

My lappy in college days was nearly constantly on for around 3 years downloading stuff in background after i got broadband in 2nd year. It died after 5 years , but not until it had downloaded some 1 TB or more of data
. This thread caught my attention as i too wanted a cheap setup for downloading torrents.Why another lappy? dosen't the existing one do the trick ?My lappy in college days was nearly constantly on for around 3 years downloading stuff in background after i got broadband in 2nd year. It died after 5 years , but not until it had downloaded some 1 TB or more of data
Currently downloading via desktop. Don't wanna overstress it like i did to my lappy which died a premature death i think as my friend's lappy is still going on.
Back in 08/09 when I was in London, was using a O2 broadband, the cheapest one as far as I remember (20-25 pounds p.m) it was of 8 mbps, so obviously it took me 1/4th time to download stuffs! So, no, UK/Europe people spends much less time to download, given the downloaded data amount is same as mine/us. So, to hell our ISPs.
I was there recently, and had to provide my name and other details to access torrents, I chose not to. Was this the case back then too ?
This was started just a few months back I think. Most known porn and torrent sites are blocked from ISP side and they ask for name and details to unblock the site.
