The "cloud" fascination is reaching absurd levels
1 comments

Ha, I find this case to be an exception - to me, browser-based photo editor sitting in "the cloud" sounds more absurd than keeping your Torrent server there.

I run my torrents off Slicehost. It's been awesome. This is what "cloud" is supposed to be doing.

so you pay $20/month so you can run bittorent on a dedicated computer without hogging down your own network + machine? That doesn't sound too bad. Is it a pain to transfer the files back to local computer though?
