Conclusion - Lower Energy Costs for Frequent Downloaders

by

Fibrionics F-Share BitTorrent

In download mode, the F-Share box only draws 5.5 Watts when an external USB hard drive is attached as a storage device. Power consumption is even lower when a USB thumb drive is used. On the downside, thumb drives offer much less storage space than external hard drives.

Compared to a PC running 24/7 downloading files from P2P networks, power consumption is much lower. Users can shave quite a bit off their next electricity bill by using a device such as this. If you frequently download files from the BitTorrent network, the €79 price tag of the F-Share will quickly amortize itself.
