Bittorrenting on the ReadyNAS has never been easier. Of the NASes I had used, bittorrent is either buggy or lack control over seeding feature. The ReadyNAS comes with decent bittorrent support, it allows user much control over the running of torrent – starting, stopping or removing. It also allow user to customize settings like port to be used, bandwidth allocation and seeding options. However, the lack of encryption option may be a problem for some users.

I hope future releases would come with the following:

• Encryption option
• Queue management
• IP Filter option
• Global Connections, Per-torrent Connections
• Automatic download through RSS

Oops. I hope I am not asking for too much. For those who are interested, ReadyNAS is using the BitTorrent SDK client. Anyway, check out the screen shots!
