Using Raspberry Pi as a torrent client
Advantage of using raspberry pi as a torrent client is that it uses very less power. For a comparison,
Power consumption of Raspberry Pi device is very less. (5V, 500 mA (2.5W) without any devices connected).
So obviously, its a better solution for downloads that take a long time. and better to keep raspberry pi always on over a desktop / laptop.
