I have one computer with a 24/1mbit ADSL connection and another with 10mbit/s Fiber connection on the other side of the country. But I am at the 24/1mbit connection computer. I want to have my RSS downloaded tv shows etc to download on the ADSL pc, for offline viewing, but not screw up my ratio on private sites.

So my plan is to have the Fiber pc, with 1GB ram, set up with a ginormous disk cache(800MB~) and have it download to my ADSL computers HD and after it has loaded the torrent for a while all of the torrent or atleast some of it will be on the fiber pc's ram and it can upload it at full 10mbit/s speed.

Also, to make utorrent download to the computer on the other side of the country I will connect them through a VPN solution, like hamachi or regular pptp VPN on my router(using dd-wrt). The ADSL pc's HD will be mapped as a regular network HD on the fiber pc.

EDIT: My first question is, will it work?

Here's an update: It does work!

Since the utorrent.exe is caching the file locally in the memory when seeding it can upload the file in full speed. The torrent on the 10mbit/s connection is uploading at 250 kb/s(while writing this) even though the files are on the ADSL pc computer with a 90 kb/s max upload!

EDIT: I guess you don't remember this Firon, but in the IRC channel you said that it wouldn't work! I was right! :P
