Vuze is a bittorrent client, but as a bonus it contains a media server. That means if you have a wireless router, a PS3 (or a fairly up-to-date telly) you can play files on your PC by streaming them directly to your TV.
I found this out by accident, when I noticed my PC name on the PS3 menu.

- It's a rubbish torrent client, though. It was OK when it was Azureus, before they bloated (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Oct 29, 14:35:30
  - Yeah probably, but it's good enough for the few things I download (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 29, 15:24:54

- aha, well that makes more sense (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 29, 13:47:07
  - Yeah, your telly needs to have built in wifi if you don't have a PS3 (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 29, 13:49:42
    - does the built in wi-fi work as a Windows Media Centre Extender? (n/m) (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 29, 13:52:35
      - No, the telly just needs to support the UPnP protocols I think (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 29, 13:56:24
        
        Or DLNA maybe (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 29, 13:57:52
        
        ah, cheers for that (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 29, 14:02:45
