Western digital drives should be avoided @ all cost, all though it’s DRM only affect if u share media files over internet with different user name still how dare they put a DRM on drives besides their hard drives isn’t reliable. read the full story here
Any way the hard drive I recommend now is Freecom’s Network Drive PRO bit expensive but comes with it\’s own torrent client what more you want :D why do u think many keep their PC on just to share the files. If this device take care of this pcs can kept shutdown (think green people ;-)) make sure u the buy the \”pro\” drive as the other freecom one dont have the torrent client.
Windows home server £449  I don\’t think many gone buy it at that price. I know It\’s worth it for what\’s it gone do share files over internet and remote access to pc and pc backup, they even give u a domain name for the server so you can use it with dynamic ip address (with out using service like no-ip or dyndns etc) It\’s good for whats it gone do but don’t think home users normally like to spend money on a device like this
Interesting about the built in torrent client. I was going to build a mini-ITX box to act as a low power P2P server (eDonkey/torrents mostly) at one time. Now I mostly use newsgroups.
P.S. Newzbin are doing half price subscriptions until December 28th …
🙂
really I’m tempted for a newsgroup access I might give them a go, what news agent u use for binary download I use to use agent is it old school ?
I use GrabIt – http://www.shemes.com – because it\’s simple to use. I\’m not a power user and don\’t hang out at file sharing/newsgroup forums so am not really current with what the best client is. You could try asking on the newzBin IRC channel (on the newzBin homepage, lower left).
Cool It’s free too, I just give it a go
