Total newb needs help with seed box

[MonkeyFaces]

I am a total newb when it comes to networking. I want to setup a legal torrent uploading and downloading box out of my backup system (since my main system consumes way too much power power to idle on utorrent). I want to accomplish this remotely, without a need for a monitor or at least minimal input interface hardware. If it's possible, I even want to automate its program's download and upload tasks. Can someone point me to a guide that can help me accomplish what I want to do. Since I am a total newb, it would be preferable if the guide had a list of materials I need in addition to a thorough walkthrough.

So far I have my backup sytem, a copy of xp, and an 8 port ethernet hub.

You might be able to get by with something like TorrentFlux but it doesn't look like the Windows port is very well maintained. Personally I use rtorrent in screen on Linux and just ssh in to 'administer' my torrents.

many torrents have an "Automatic start folder" type feature, where any torrent file dropped in there is loaded and started. Should be able to just share that folder and drop them in.
