Re: Can't decide on what hard drives to buy

I have a caviar green 5400 1.5 TB drive, and it has no problem streaming two different HD streams to my fiance's computer and my xbox at the same time. I really like my drive, just don't buy it for the "Green." the actually power difference is minimal from everything I've read. I just like...

Re: What's the benefit of building your own media server?

+1 for DIY. NAS is underpowered, Windows Home Server is a crappy OS, with almost no software for it.

It's a great little piece of software. with almost no configuration it can transcode .mkvs on the fly to the xbox (which doesn't support them unfortunately).

Re: Deluge auth file

As far as the auth file is concerned, the new location is "/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge" I've reinstalled my server a couple times since I first found the guide, and at some point the location moved. It should probably be changed in the guide. I saw you mention that you could only connec...
