[Part 2] Download torrent & newsserver package(s)

I have a 1.5tb usb harddisk which was ntfs first. I first used it as a backup disk and it had about 300gb of data on it, I wanted to create a 1tb ext4 partition on it so I shrunk the ntfs partition. I did this using my laptop (ubuntu) and that took about 8 hours (high end laptop 4 years ago), so I think it will take forever on the raspberry pi. It also gives warnings that data could be lost during the operation so that's also something to take into account.

So I present to you a third option:
Install Ubuntu on your laptop (dual boot next to your windows if you want) and you will live like you have never lived before.
