Yes, but you wouldn't receive any benefits from it--with one seed (the home
computer) and one peer (the travelling computer), the transfer would go at
the maximum upload speed of the seed. Azureus' built-in tracker/web server
would work fine--just don't distribute the torrent, and no one else will be
able to join the swarm.

As others have pointed out, an FTP on a random port would probably work
better with less overhead. Or you could try http://www.yousendit.com/ if
you only need to make the transfer once.

You could setup an account with LogMeIn <http://www.logmein.com>. It is
a remote access service like PCAnywhere, but you get a free trial of the
PRO version for 30 days. The PRO version includes unlimited file
transferring as well as a bunch of other stuff. After the 30 days, you
can either continue with the PRO (subscription) or scale back to the
basic (free). With the free, you get unlimited remote access and a few
other things. The service works great. I have used it several times
over the past year or so.


CIAO!
