Will this do the job?

So basically I'm going to Microcenter probably tomorrow, and I need a USB wireless adapter because I'm making a PC dedicated to just torrenting. Problem is, I only have about 10 bucks for said adapter. I came across this one and I have no idea if it's gonna be able to make the cut. It won't be dealing with a whole lot of traffic all at once, but instead a little over a long time (realistically about 1Mbps 24/7). Reason I'm choosing this one over the other cheapass ones is that this one is from a pretty reputable company so (in theory at least) it'll be of better quality and not die after a month or two of use.

I use those specific adapters for my rpis. They work fine for low bandwidth applications.

personally i would shell out 5 bucks extra and get this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/361805/TL-WN722N_150Mbps_Wireless_N_USB_Adapter

it has an external antenna and its antenna can be replaced with a better one. it should have a better signal. but i don't know your exact setup (distance from AP etc)
