Can I forward a torrent download to my Xbox ftp?

I want to download some things, but do not have enough space on my PC HDD to save them. Is there some way to make a torrent download on my PC and save to an FTP location?


Would have posted this in Networking, but I don't have enough time to wait an hour for a response.
 
I take it your xbox is modded and is running an ftp server? Does xbox media center share the drive using samba? If so, you can mount the drive that way.
 
Hmm, haven't heard of Samba. I can only use FTP when I'm in EvoX.

I would love to mount Xbox Drive F on my PC.
 
I don't remember if Xbox media center allows you to access samba shares, or also acts as a samba server. Been a while since my Xbox died (soft modded).

Maybe somebody can suggest a piece of software that lets you mount an FTP server as a drive. I know you can in OS X, but I've never tried that from windows.

Why not just ftp some stuff to the xbox and download the torrent to your PC?

Takes too much time to do. I kinda just wanted to queue up some torrents and have them download to my Xbox overnight. I have a 250Gig drive in that sucka. 🙂
 
Maybe you don't even need that, according to one of the comments:

2. you can map an ftp or webdav server as a network drive in XP without having to use any such tool - it's built into the OS! from My Computer, find "Map Network Drive" in the Tools menu. a window will pop up asking for a drive letter and a folder, and at the bottom is a link reading "Sign up for online storage or connect to a network server." click that link, select "Choose another network location" from the Add Network Place Wizard, and follow the wizard's prompts to add the location and login information. simple.

Yeah, I just did what that guy said in comment #2. Works pretty well soo far. I'll test a torrent on it.
