Anyone know , does raspberry pi still worth to get ? just wanted to act as download box 24/7 direct download or some torrent.
You all know stmyx user speed right.
Since it's low voltage , would be best to save electric for 24/7.

I only concern how to setup a torrent and ddl setting and link it to a 2.5 hard disk running 24/7 ? which raspberry pi version is suitable ?
Cna run extra power for 2.5 hard disk ?
And which case cover to buy for it ?

I google but all result is dated back years ago like 2016.

Besides, can rasperry pi run on dual boot ? OS linux and android x86 ? which memory card is suitable and fast enought ? 1GB ram still possible to do all the task ?
Should I get other intel atom base of mini pc with better hardware ?

Thanks will read through it once i purchase it.
Thank you for the info.PipaOS , any reason running the distro ? I can see is very light weight.

You download your fine into the sdcard ? did you claim for warranty ? since most sdcard have 3-5 years.
What about your 32GB thumbdrive ?

Same price no change.rm160-180
Wait for pi 4 2020 ?

you save your downloaded file into the USB pendrive ?

just bought it last month 4B 4GB version.
this is my 2nd raspberry pi, 1st is the original version, 1st gen.( long2 time ago and sold it)

so far
- kodi still ok when browsing, but lag when the movie still playing. same experience when i use 1st gen
- running raspbian , youtube on chromium still stutter, enable some tweak found on google, now running ok but still got but not so visible.
- when running android 9, lineageos, the display still slow due to some display driver issue, dev already mentioned about this.
- running cpu stress test, temp from 40c(idle) to highest 60c. running with 1 small fan and small heatsink in stack casing type.
im not sure if my expection is too high, already watch few youtube about this 4B before bought it and all review said the fastest raspberry pi.
but after use it, i think still not up to my expection. the performance, the optimization  and the UI should at least equal to mid range android phone.

anyways, its good for tinkering with other stuff.  now my next project, i want it to run pihole and temp, humidity monitoring, just need to buy the sensor 1st.
