As I siad before I like torrent flux. I can use it from the infmamous
(from other posts on this list) Windows machine that lives in my wife's
office, but it actually runs on a Linux server. 

I'm more interested in longevity and stability than performance,
but I can get as many as 5 torrents going at once with an agregate
donwload rate of about 200k bytes per second, and upload of 23k
(I have a 5m/256k line) on a 1gHz AMD duron with 512m of RAM.

I also use it as a file server, email station and router.

I have to be careful to not let it run with too many big torrents because
I run out of disk space,
