Well, my main box won't be 100% time online but I could run the tracker on 
the box which is supposed to become my mailserver (i.e always online), this 
asap I get a new hard drive for this box.
But I assume there must be some other smgl boxes always online? For the ones 
who don't know BT well yet: we only need a box which can be 100% time online 
to run the tracker, this box doesn't have to host anything else and won't 
have such a network burden on it, it will just redirect the incoming requests 
to the boxes which actually host the shared files (that is if I understood 
well BT principle of course :) )

Cheers, 
Mathieu.
