Looking for a reliable NAS with BT support for 24*7 operation. Checked D-Link DNS-313/323 and heard its quite good but any other better options out there at similar price range? Prefer WIFI enabled NAS

Archish is based in singapore ATM, so i guess he cannot buy the one burnz is selling :)

^^http://www.techencla...nas-122201.html. Very good deal that!

One thing about the D-Link's BT client. Will private trackers allow the client? For eg, the default BT client in my Thecus N2100 is not accepted by some private trackers. Luckily, some generous users of the same NAS have ported rTorrent which is what I use. Can other 3rd party clients be used with the D-Link?

I am also interested in this
I want to have a NAS wired Or wireless with Bit torrent download support
Low cost (under 5k) Low Power Usage (under 50w) Compact

What i have.
1) I have two Wireless Router (which consist 4 ports each)
2) I have 640 Seagate SATA II hard disk (recent purchase around 2 week)
3) Sata to IDE convertor
4) 350 watts SMPS (repaired)
5) will purchase cabby from scrap. or will make one by hand...

I have some option for NAS
Apical TS 350S-LS which cost around 4.5k
Support SATA I, II to USB2.0 and RJ45 connectivity.
Support BT Download/Upload stand-along operation while PC is off (BT NAS version)
Support HDD format FAT 32, XFS (That means it doesn't support NTFS too bad how can this be a NAS)

If you see closely Maximum of this enclosure will surely have one of this problem
1) NTFS support
2) Larger Hard drive or Upgradability support Above 1 TB or 2 TB
3) 10/100 Mbps only
4) No wifi
5) Less info about the bit torrent version, compatibility, stability, etc
6) IDE or Sata
7) USB port 1.1 or Missing

I don't care about heat or Noise I care about work...

there are advantages of this enclosure.
1) Compact
2) Low Power
3) Quick Boot Share or i can say Active boot and share.
4) Torrent download (obiviously if it works atleast 2 active and some scheduled)


So can any one suggest a Good alternative ?

1) Download stuff from the internet via Bit torrent, ftp etc

The above link is broken but from that i can got freenas.org which is a Software based solution. This doesn't solve the problem see if u want to have a Torrent Downloader it will require a Little more power. And P2 or P3 are not compact. They will not Support Sata don't tell abt PCI sata card it will really increase the budget.
Now can anyone suggest other solution ? Do we have a enclosure or some thing like that for this ?
