Does this run Bittorrent?

And how well does it handle rich subtitle formats? I am thinking of upgrading because my Astone AP-100, while very good for the price, has a tendency to poo poo itself and display nothing whenever two or more subtitles appear on screen at once. If I could also use this to run Bittorrent etc. (with a USB hard drive plugged in of course) instead of having to run my computer all the time then I would be sold, especially if you can also use it as a NAS.

Or do I have to get a Popcorn Hour for that? If so, is there a newer equivalent to the Popcorn Hour that doesn't cost quite as much?

Boxee software runs rtorrent, so I suppose the Boxee Box will as well.
I've used Boxee with subtitles and it works just as expected. Even better: it finds the subtitles for you.
