i'm an anime junkie and i d/l tons of anime. needelss to say, a few months after getting my new computer, my 60g hard drive is completely full.

what would be the best way to free up space on my hard drive (and keep the anime). i was thinking an external hd but theyre too expensive, then i got 4.7 gig dvd-rws but even though i didn't have a dvd burner, i thought i could use them in my cd burner, just not to burn a dvd, but they didn't work. thats all i can think of but i need some help.

thanks in advance and HERE HERE to all anime fans out yonder.

Best to think about getting a couple of extra spare hard drives, to store the anime. or to get a burner and just burn the files to CD to move them off your hard drive. you really cant free up a hard drive like that if you fill it with dls.

can neone think of nething besides those 2 options?

I do not know if this will work but start you a free website and dowload the anime till your space is full and delete the ones on your drive. Defragment your computer.

welp was the only suggestion that will free up your drive.

Halo2 means to takeout a *******site somewhere and upload your files to it but I wouldnt recommend that either as free webhosts dont usually allow video files to be uploaded to a free server.

Hi heseo, you have just replied to a 2 year old thread so I would not hold your breath on the buddy list thing, but nice to have you on the forums.

Here is my best tip you can get.

Go out and get your self a internle hard drive i would say about 160 if they still have it go to walmart it should be only 80$ but that's where i live any way or try (newegg.com) they have on day sales every day you can get parts there as low as they come if you do get your self a new hard drive keep your old one that will be your master for all of your programs and than with your new drive make that your slave hard drive or number two this way you have more space on your first drive you can move all of your videos and music to your new hardrive this way your pc is not slowing crashing all the time and try to defrag your hardrive to because if you dont defrag it there will be a lot of wasted space on that one like for say if you go to a lot of web page's they take up a lot of space now a days your computer stores a lot of info than no about.And all so i would probley get some spywear cleaner to that all so takes up space.And try and get your self System Mechanic 7 Helps with a lot of problems like registry that's bad for your pc slows it down.
helps defrag your memory or called ram.witch will all so speed up your pc to.that's if you have a lot of ram.Lets just say it helps your computer a lot more than it seems.Soooo Is that's good for ya.

You've been given a lot of advice on what to do but I think you have the necessary solution at your finger tips already.

You have a CD burner but not a DVD one, that's OK because you can burn your anime films as either SVCD (Super Video CD) or just plain VCD (Video CD). Now the picture quality will not be as good as DVDs but you should still be able to play these CDs on any domestic DVD player made in the last 4 or 5 years.

I am guessing here but I believe that SVCDs and VCDs formatted CDs have never been popular in the US so most people will not know anything about them but they are a sure fire way of freeing up space on your hard disk and getting your anime films into a format that you can play on your domestic DVD player.

The burning software that can burn in SVCD or VCD CDs is Nero (Version 5x and upwards), there may be other CD/DVD burning software with SVCD/VCD capabilities but that will be for other forum members to say.

Hope this helps.
