Talking

You could always just burn them to CDs (650 - 700 MBs) then delete them off your hard drive

I've heard of many people using external harddrives for storing their LimeWire downloads.

Default External Hard Drives

Quite right CyberStalker

I do just that, i.e. store my LW downloads on an external drive.

I've never used one of them before. Would you just hook it up to the tower with a USB cable or is there more to it?

There is only a little more, i.e. Applying the drive letter and formatting the drive via "Disk Management".

And that is basically that.




UK Bob.

PS. The instructions in the manual, especially for the Lacie external drive, is very clear.

I see! I didn't know how difficult they were to use but from what you've explained, it seems pretty easy! Thanks, UK Bob!

i use an external HDD drive.

its a Western Digital 250GB

bought from amazon click here for only £94.99 (well i'm entitled to tax free, so it was a little cheaper )

anyway its a lot cheaper than many on ebay!

plus its plug and play one! NO installing of any software or fiddeling with drive letters, formatting etc.

simply plugs into your usb port and thats it!


they are a very good idea, i have hundreds of full length movies on it and haven't even used half the space up
Plus if you get one of the many viruses that seem to be wiggeling their way round p2p, you dont lose all your mp3's, avi's when you have to reformat your computers HDD.

Default Seagate external hard-drive

mine's plug & play also, no formatting. even a dummy like me can use it. extremely easy. you can (format?) split it up into partitions, but you don't have to.
