Re: downloading and surfing at the same time

I do know that running torrents does take up a fair chunk of processing power. I actually bought a cheap intel coresolo mac mini just to run them at it usually running at 25-50% with the single 1.5Ghz processor running with 2Gb RAM.

Re: torrent files 'automatic pickup' directory?...
