  Agreed on the network drive approach.
  
  I picked up an IcyBox NAS case and a 1TB hdd for £80 each. Plugs into the router and acts as a network drive for everything connected to the network. Even has a bittorrent client installed so you can leave them running on that even if your PC's turned off.
