I don't own one, and I don't know anyone who does. But I wonder what the point of spending $250 for it is. Why not just get some older computer hardware and run a bittorrent client on there?
Or, better yet, you can buy a barebones PC (something like this Shuttle [ebay link] for $200). You have to buy and/or install the hard drives separately anyway, so why not get something a hell of a lot more useful. Added bonus: you can hook it up to a TV and use it as a media server, so that you just bt your shows, then watch them right off the PC. posted by spiderskull at 3:04 PM on February 8
One reason I like these kinds of devices is due to power usage. And the small form factor. It also doesn't require paying for Windows or learning Linux - it just runs.
With that said, I've never used this one specifically. posted by krisak at 3:47 PM on February 8
Ah, power and ease seem like reasonable motivations -- forgive the derail.
It's a fairly new product, so you may not get a lot of responses here. There seems to be a community that doesn't make it clear whether it's connected to the company or not. In either case, they have a wiki page for that product. Try posting in the forum there.
