Cool I guess

I really don't know why someone would want to integrate BitTorrent into the hardware of their computer. Apparently some companies feel there is a need for it. However it's still cool that they can do that.

For now I'll just stick with my uTorrent and kTorrent software.

It's not computer hardware, it's network hardware.
I think it is pretty useful. You may continue downloading to your external hard drive, while your laptop goes with you to work.

Bingo. Also, it'll have efficient, no fuss traffic shaping right there at the gateway. Very nice.

I already do that on an Xbox that I've modded to run linux. It's actually very useful to use torrenflux (or whatever they're running) so you don't consume resources on your own PC.

Even better, you can create simple rules on your home NAT device (if it supports it), to do traffic shaping to just that device. I do it all the time, nothing like DLing tons of stuff and playing CS:S without lag at the same time.
