Quick question.
I want to be able to use Sickbeard with Torrents - I already have a BTGuard subscription (Torrent VPN that uses uTorrent). Can I do that with any of the XBMC OS's, or will I have to install the full Ubuntu? If so, will that massively impact the specs of my HTPC? In which case would it be worth paying for Usenet and getting the XBMC OS integration?
As a quick second question: how good are the XBMC OS's at dealing with the media storage aspect of running a media server (assuming I build a HTPC with a connected 2TB external USB hard drive)? Can I easily sync/move media to my Android phone or am I going to be missing key functionality?
