Considered that, however I was having hassles with the firewall that's built into my DSL-504. Probably need to do some port re-direction (and when I upgrade this box, I'll use the old one as an NFS/BT/FTP/rsync box). > > This will also help solve the issue of the dvd-sized images becoming > corrupted during upload, since there's built-in error detection and > correction in the BT protocol :) I know.

Unfortunately, I'm beginning to suspect my hard disk as the source of the corruption. It's a Western Digital 300 GB unit, and I'll download something, check the MD5sum and find it's fine. If i check the md5sum a week later, there is a strong chance that the file will now be corrupt :( I think I'll use a different brand in future (Seagate or Maxstor have always behaved for me). > > If you need help with setting up the torrents, let me know.
