I really dont know what software is available from the NAS manufacturers or the community. All i can say is that my Netgear WNDR3700v2 can handle transmission, smb, ssh, afp, an apache server and tvheadend pretty well on OpenWRT and there are many more packages (including nzbget) available.

he could have transformed his router into a NAS using either the proprietary software or OpenWRT/Tomato etc... This way you dont need any extra NAS and just plug in your external drive via USB. The performance is the only bottleneck I've experienced with routers (cpu speed is about 200-600mhz). Other than that it works really well with my raspberry pi xbmc!

The article may get some things twisted with some warez definitions, but the main problem is: a once trusted site lets users download a different software than anyone is searching for - this leads to confusion at first because users don't know what they are downloading and installing anyway...

This may be all true, theres nothing I can say against this article, but there's really a reason to split an article or comments section to multiple pages - battery performance. On heavy ad-based sites with flash content etc, the page rendering can get really cpu intensive - at least on smartphones and tablets.. (I'm referring to a 30000x1024 pixels to scroll through. OSX sometimes really fights with them and smooth scrolling (i have a retina macbook, maybe thats the reason, macericks should bring some improvements to that...) on ios can get laggy. Tumblr pages with infinite scrolling and heavy imagery are an example for that. Nice article though!

just copy the content to your hdd? and back for permanent changes - is that a big problem for you? this way at least you can satisfy your fetish for floppy disks :D
