Short version:
1. Get an NSLU that has been flashed with custom firmware (you've already got that taken care of)
2. Get comfortable using optware and ipkg (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Packages)
(Note: I have no idea what the current state of maintenance is with the optware packages... I wouldn't be surprised if they have turned dusty and moldy with age.)
3. Get a BT daemon running... (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/BitTorrent)
(Personally, I've had good experience with Transmission - http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Transmission
And - wholly moly - someone actually contributed a 2.73 build just *yesterday* for cryin' out loud! Maybe those repositories are less crusty and moldy than I thought!)
See how far that gets you...

Anyone willing to help a noob on NSLU2 that's totally lost? :)))
I've recently 'found' an old unslung NSLU2 unit in storage in the office (V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.10-beta) and I would love the idea of having a 24/7 low-powered torrent
downloading unit at home. I though about plugin in a 2.5" hard disk and... voilà, ready to download.
Major flaw though... I am totally noob at anything but Windows [yeah, I know, you don't need to say it... :(]
Would anyone be so kind helping me thru the basics on how to install a torrent client and set everything up?
I do really need step-by-step... ('sudo' sounds to me as alien as j#u%h3, LOL!)
Thanks in advance to all those patient gurus out there willing to lend a hand.
