I would recommend connecting the VortexBox directly to your router. But it will work over wireless as well

I am not suggesting to include the whole TorrentFlux BitTorrent client, (though that could be possible too instead of rTorrent, TorrentFlux comes with BitTornado by default but it is possible to use other BitTorrent clients as back-end, it even supports Usenet NZB download clients), what I am suggestion is to copy only the web interface client part (the website so to speak) from the TorrentFlux-b4rt fork.
"TorrentFlux is an web-based system for managing BitTorrent file transfers. It is an GPL open source package. Manage all aspects of your torrent transfers through the secure and convenient web interface from anywhere you can get internet access! You can even set your system up to subscribe to (& auto-download) RSS torrent feeds and start your transfers while you're away (during the night, as other transfers finish, or however else you like if you write script!). The transfer themselves are performed on top of a third-party developed BitTorrent client as the back-end downloader, TorrentFlux provides a web interface for these scripts and the ability to manage multiple transfers, users and even protocols (receive completed files via http) all from the Web GUI"
Good idea?

Note though that TorrentFlux can be made to use rtorrent as the back-end:

"rTorrent can be controlled via XML-RPC over SCGI"

can it be used on any system or just the vortexbox appliance?
ive got 4+ TB of media so i dont think it would work to well for me but for those that delete seasons as they watch them or that have a select collection of just their fav media it would work pretty well.
