torrenting from a usb pen

iBot · 22 Nov 2006 at 16:06

Any clients do this?

Run off the pen and download on the pen?

I think utorrent can do this

Most clients should be able to should'nt they?

It should just see it as another disk...

You can install and run anything off a usb pen drive, even windows. So yes any client can do it.

utorrent would, just tell it to store the torrent files and download files on U:\Torrents

and always set the drive be to be U: in diskmanagement

You know this will significantly reduce the lifespan of the USB pen?

They are only designed for xxx amounts of writes.
When you exceed that - Then the data on there will not be reliable.

What do torrents do?
Continually write to the HDD/Device.
That many writes continaully and the drive will be doing well to last a few months IMHO.

I'm pretty sure you can adjust uTorrents cache to manage disk writes.

uTorrent will be great for this, since the program is just a single .exe with no install routine required.
