I have a dedicated netbook on which I can download and keep it on 24/7 if required. I downloaded some of the biggest games released last year on this netbook which I bought in 2009 for approx $200. Hard drive is plenty (300+ GB). More/externals can be added through usb if required.

Android's have torrents. So you can buy a used phone @5k or less and run torrent on it.

Issue comes with storage, and you will encounter that issue with a rasberry pi as well. And you probably can find a rasberry pi here if you look, or you can import it via jshak, amagi, etc....

Okay the thread might be old
But I would recommend getting a pi Rasberry / Bananna /Orange
Reasons:
1.You get a complete computer
2.You can do lot more the downloading
For 2.Just think of it as a low power pc that will always be on
:)

Get an iphone/ipod touch 32gb/16gb. Jailbreak it & install insomnia+Itransmission. I have been downloading torrents for the past 2 years using this method on iphone 3gs.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
