Not much money and bandwidth if you aren't on a metered connection. You can share tens of gigabytes or more on a cheap read only flash plugged into into a $25 single board computer that draws way less than a full PC and can be left sitting there near the router. Just limit its bandwidth on the torrent client and you won't even notice it during online gaming. The client can be as small as the Transmission daemon running headless on one of the many Debian based embedded distros: all control through either the web interface or from its client: no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. just a small cheap box. https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product... (just an example, as it's way overkill for the task) https://transmissionbt.com/ https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui
