sharing the love
 

id love to have more to share with folks but my space is feeble.how is it that many a host can have dozens of 200+ mb size files?!?!do they make puters that powerful?!?!if i can somehow relocate my limewire to my EXTERNAL HD i think i would be able to share the love.or atr least more of it.any suggestions?tyvm.....

DO, as a rule, KEEP YOUR PROGRAM FILES on the SAME disk as YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM FILES !

(excuse the CAPS, but this is worth shouting about, huh ?)

Put your 'data' files (i.e. music and video and text and DownLoads) on another disk, if you like...

Hard Disk Drives are really cheap now... Install a 160GB or so and shift all of your 'personal' saved and shared stuff to that new disk...
FREE as much space as possible on the main C:\ drive where your OS and Program Files are located...
You need to have NEVER LESS than 20% free space remaining on your 'Main Hard Disk Drive' in order to be able to adequately perform the basic functions of the Windows OS and... AND, especially, to be able to perform a correct de-fragmentation of your 'main drive'...

Some may return and argue these points I have made here...

TS... They are talking nonsense...

Remember--- De-Fragment OFTEN...
Never fill your HDD beyond 80%
Use an application such as WindowWasher to help you to REALLY remove all that garbage that Windows collects !!!

Wipe Wipe Wipe !

I'd go even further. Use Windows only for defragmenting and install a real operating system for everything else.

bravo!!!!!!!!!!ive added stuff to a folder and it only took me all day!!!!!!to call me incompi(e?)tent would truly be complementary.there is 1 problem though....how long can i keep an external HD's power on?i dont want to burn it out in an attempt to share my love.....

btw...a ''real OS''?!?!i have options?!?!?!?just call me doofus.

An xtra internal or an external HDD is quite valuable in more ways than one. Both for backup & for sharing. HDD's tend to wear more from writing to than from reading from or the continual revolutions they make. Xtra HDD's are a good way to go & you can get them for a decent price if you shop around! ;) :)

See http://www.theosfiles.com/ for a list of available x86
operating systems. There are a few more - for example at least two BeOS descendents - but I don't know of any better site at the moment.

Windows is not a real OS, the "ows" in it stands for "Operating Wannabe System". So this is not my mere opinion, it's a fact.

thx much for the advice.ill no doubt be back to bug you good people though.to darkhorse,no prob with the files.ill try and share as much as possible.which leads to my next,unanswered situation......how long can an EXTERNAL HD stay powered?as i stated before,i want to share the love but only wisely.and as for finding music videos by SEAL(my taste in entertainment is NOT open for discussion)is like winning the lotto 10 times in 1 day while not having the correct numbers...ie,impossible.ill type ''seal'',the video i want and ill get everything but.

One part of your question can be answered here: To continue files downlding (click on link) & see all the off-shoot links which will give you hints & some xtra skills. Success with finding what you want is a combination of perserverence, skill, trying out different techniques, trying the improbable at times (lol) such as mispellings of the title, etc. Browsing hosts & browsing multiple results of their browsed results, etc. Trying different types of searches & varying the search name. Even searching it at Bitzi & seeing what alternative names it's listed under if it's listed on their database.

thx much yet again......ive found a video but my search also came up with unrelated stuff...oh well....and let attempt a 3rd try......how long can an external hd stay powered on?ive asked twice to no avail....what up wid dat?
