I am planning to buy a router for less than $100 and for 24x7 downloads without PC. I have finalized 2 models (Asus WL-520GU & Asus RT-N13).Asus RT-N13 can do http/ftp/torrent downloads but I am not sure whether I can monitor the download status remotely which is an essential feature for me.So I am planning to go for WL-520GU router.By flashing the router with DD-WRT,I know it can do torrent downloads with Transmission client.Is there any package which can do http downloads and also has a web UI?

I would advice you to purchase this instead, given what your requirements are:

Asus 520GU is USB1.1 only, it will take you the whole day to copy/extract a big file or do a torrent recheck.

The Asus N16 is a great choice.
