Download Torrents on Your Home Computer from ANYWHERE!

Have you ever been sitting in a coffee shop, browsing the web on your laptop, when you remember that you wanted to try out that new linux distro on your home PC? The only problem is that the linux iso you need is a solid 4GBs and you don't want to go through the hassle of downloading it on to your laptop (at very slow speeds) only to have to transfer it later... and you also don't want to wait till you get home to start the download? (I know that this seems like a very specific example, but this happens to me all the time)

Let's fix that!

Here is what you will need:

-Dropbox
-uTorrent
-Awesomeness

Here's what you do...

On your home computer, open your Dropbox folder and create a new sub-folder called "TorrentBox"

Now open uTorrent and go to Preferences > Directories and check the box that says automatically load .torrent files from the selected folder, and select the newly created TorrentBox folder. (the location of this setting may vary depending on which version of uTorrent you have installed)

Voila... now you can download torrents on to your home computer from anywhere that you have access to your Dropbox (laptop, friends computer, android-based device etc...) by simply dropping the .torrent file into the TorrentBox folder. Within seconds the file will begin downloading on your home computer to your default download location.
