The guys over at Asus are giving you a couple more reasons to fork over your cash. Though the boxes may look like ordinary routers, the WL-500g Premium and WL-500gW are super routers. They each feature a BitTorrent client that turns them into instant downloading machines. The cool thing about the routers is that they’ll let you download from the internet even when you PC is off, so you can start a download, take a nice snooze, and wake up to a hard drive full of *insert copy-written file here*. Now that’s my kind of router.

The pricing isn’t set yet, but Asus’ previous BitTorrent router is going for about 250 bucks.
