I have an E3000 up and running with TomatoUSB, and DNS-320. I currently have installed transmission on E3000, downloading to a networked drive on DNS-320. I hope to know how well E3000 handles the situation. The following is a few lines from top command:

I'm mostly concerned with the memory, because I will be running many torrents at the same time (say over 100?). Can E3000 handle it? DNS-320 has more memory (double) and faster CPU (again double), but I hope not to install fun_plug and optware on it (I have done it before, but just want to keep it pristine.)
