I also have a viglen running rtorrent[1], rsstorrent[2], e.t.c. Its on 24/7 and consumes around 20W. The extra 10W-12W over the standard viglen is because I also have a 1TB usb drive connected to it. Great machines if your worried about power consumption. > Cheers, > Al. Regards, Jamie. -- http://www.linuxuk.org [1] http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ [2] http://www.linuxuk.org/rsstorrent
