Vuze releases fully portable version of popular torrent client
Many of you are probably already downloading your torrent files directly to an external hard drive. Looking for a slick, portable client for torrenting on the go with your drive? Vuze has a new app for that.

The PS3 and 360 have one major problem that makes destroys (a bit) the image you just painted. Neither of them support NTFS formatted hard drives (only Fat32), which means you're limited to files less than 4gb in size.
But still this is pretty cool all the same...
