Works every bit as well as the higher priced models from the big boys, although, judging by the plastic housing, probably not as durable. it has ethernet and usb connections, and browser based setup.The 'EZ setup' page, includes all the nornal settings needed to get you up and running quickly, and more advanced pages allowing you to tweak the thing to within an inch of it's life.

to configure for bittorrent, you will want to create 2 'virtual servers', on the 'advanced settings->virtual servers' page. one UDP and the other TCP. for both, use 'public port start' 6881, 'public port stop' 6889, 'private port' 6881, and the ip address it assigned to your computer, (very bottom box on the setup home page).

i gave it a 10 for compatibility, even though no attempt was made to connect it using the usb port.
