What clients do you guys like to use? Personally, I like Newsleecher.

I'm pretty religious about burning as I download...I use to be in the same boat as you with 2TB of drives on a server in my room. Ahh...those were the days! :thumbsup:

Most of this stuff doesn't fit on DVR's Most of it doesn't even fit on DLDVDs

tape backups after 30 days!

I have a take backup with like 10 30GB tapes:Q

maybe I should use them?

it actually depends on how cheap you can get MORE TAPE!!!!

interestingly, it might be better if you just bought hard drives and used an external drive enclosure as removable storage. Price per Gig would be lower than tape depending on what drive you have.

Or robotic DVD-R backups! Robots are even cooler than ninjas.

Look for HDTVtoMPEG2 to splice up those huge TS files.

You get 2GB a month and you must use your master email account and password.

I've never had any problems. Are you selecting to output to TS or MPEG2?

TS.....maybe my comp jsut isn't fast enough @ 2500+ (barton). I jsut tried the individual fiels and they struggle too


I guess I will have to overclock it to play some of it I don't like to ebcause it isn't 100% stable.
