href="http://www.fon.com/en/">Fon router</a>, I have personally used one for ages. It is a community based project, the thinking is that a lot of people buy fon routers, and with the router you get a passcode. If you&#8217;re anywhere in the world and you find a Fon router, you can use that password to use it for free. People without Fon passwords can also use your Fon router for a small fee, so you can also earn from buying one.</p><p>Now, the Fon 2.0 router is out, which allows you to download to a pendrive, external hard drive, upload to Youtube, all that fun stuff, but without having your PC or laptop turned on! Just set up a Youtube upload, add some torrent files, switch off your laptop, and the download/upload goes on. There are tons of cool apps built into the firmware, as the <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2zx0uOfb20">screencast about it</a> says, it&#8217;s like a mini linux in there.</p><p><span
id="more-12326"></span></p><p>The price is EUR 50, which is roughly $65 now. Compared to the price of the old Fon this is pricey, but not compared to other top of the line routers which can&#8217;t do half as much. I purchased three routers pooling with my friends for about $10 each, and I have been using it since, it really is a great pieve of hardware, so I can&#8217;t wait to get my hands on the new one. Even if you don&#8217;t need these functions check it out, you will be helping out a great cause. I don&#8217;t travel as much, but one of my friends spends all his time doing so and he finds Fon routers everywhere in the World!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/24/fon-lets-you-download-without-your-computer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
