I could use rtorrent with screen to download stuff to an external hard drive..
But I will check on that when I find the time to open the case.
Regarding USB ports --
if you find an old USB 1.0 card laying around, I bet it would work fine.
USB2.0 cards...you might find the card expects a newer version of the
PCI bus than your machine has...but you may get lucky or I may be
completely wrong. :)
You are right. Some PCI USB 2.0 controller cards work pretty well in my
486 and Pentium machines. Other do not. If it works, the transfer speed
are lower than in newer systems because of slower CPU.
