Vuze releases fully portable version of popular torrent client
Many of you are probably already downloading your torrent files directly to an external hard drive. Looking for a slick, portable client for torrenting on the go with your drive? Vuze has a new app for that.
Called Vuze to Go, the version makes use of Ceedo's application virtualization and costs $9.99. Because of the way it's packaged, VTG will run even on systems that don't have Java installed. All the functionality of the original open source client is there - meaning you can fire up your hard drive at a buddy's place at stream your movies to a PS3 or Xbox 360 right from your HDD.
While there are free portable torrent alternatives (like uTorrent), Vuze's added media functions may make it a useful purchase for some. Vuze Marketing Director Chris Thun told Torrent Freak "we believe that if we're solving a real problem in an elegant way, our users will be willing to pay for it."

The PS3 and 360 have one major problem that makes destroys (a bit) the image you just painted. Neither of them support NTFS formatted hard drives (only Fat32), which means you're limited to files less than 4gb in size.
But still this is pretty cool all the same...
