Nice. I like is taste in shows too. But tsk tsk on the numbering scheme not prepending a 0 in-front of the single digits ;) Does windows now properly handle folder sorting without the zero?

No, and yeah I know that's going to cost me some time in renaming them :p I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

So I take it you guys who are hoarding TV eps on your HDDs use those PCs as HTPCs hooked up to a HDTV?

Right now no. Which is kind of stupid as I have an HDTV downstairs. Right now I just watch them on my computer (though I do have a 30 " LCD here). However once I build my next rig in a few months (will be a monster $3600 rig) I plan on turning this one into an HTPC so at that point I might have all of them there.

Admitting pirating on a site that depends on advertisement = fail.

I can see this thread being moved to a mod forum or locked in the near future....

Hell even a single output could be used if you are using a 10 foot UI.

I have one computer, so I need two outputs so I can browse ATOT or play games while watching TV.

I do have the parts to a Athlon 64 3700+ system hanging around. I might put it to use.

I only pirate linux, so I am win and not fail.
But I still dont like the idea of Verizon telling me what I can and cannot do. And I really dont like them monitoring me at all. We just switched to FIOS and already they may be pissing me off.
Will wait to see if I get any emails or calls.
Ass monglers!

Now the funny thing is I didn't even open or use the file I downloaded. I just hit the first link I saw and grabbed the torrent that was a few hundred megs, was testing connection speed after a format.

What does this have to do with Verizon?

There are also stand alone HD media players such as the WDTV-Live, XStreamer and many others.

After analyzing your show/movie choices I have come to the conclusion that you are a huge nerd.

Verizon was given a DMCA notice, and they forwarded it on to you.

We get them all the time for customers where I work and we pass them on to the customers. If a customer gets 3 of them, we turn off their internets for good.
