I just set up a Ubuntu machine to sit in the corner as a download-box, no screen, keyboard/mouse, to take the strain off my laptop.
The best thing about Ubuntu for me is that straight away it has a bit-torrent client(Transmission) built in and is easy to VNC into(unlike my Mac which was a bit harder to get the PC-to-Mac VNC running).
