Dear LW Programmers

I would like to see, in the near future, LW given the ability to share multiple directories/hard drives.

At the moment, you can share and save to one main folder and share sub folders under the main one. However, I now find myself in the position where my hard drive is rapidly getting full. I still want to share my stuff on that hard drive but now I want (need) to save new downloads to another drive and share back that stuff as well.

I can't be the only one like this so get us out of a jam and add this facility.




UK Bob.

never thought i would have to help you, but:

to change saved download locations:
options>saving

this ALSO lets you change directories for different media types. this new feature is great for orginizing your shares.

to add more shared folders:
options>sharing

and click add.

Thanks for that, I had not realised that LW had already added those features, simply because it has been some time since I actually looked at "Tools>Options".

Well, it just goes to show that no one person can be aware of everything, no matter how hard he tries.

PS. I no longer have an excuse to not buy that (tasty looking) Lacie 250GB external hard drive.

OK, I just love computer peripherals (I know it’s sad, so sue me).

rofl, no IDE? im a western digital man anyways... they have 10,000 RPM 300GB HDDs... just what i need, for around $230. cheap!

Hey ultracross/ukbobboy01


Have you thought about switching to SCSI 15000 rpm ultar 320 they are really fast. I picked a coupple of new 74 GB fujitsu on E Bay for under $200ea. Set um up at 0-Raid talk about fast benchmark went up 20%

I'd give the thumbs up to the Lacie firewire external drives. Becoming very popular nowadays. Only problems I had were when I partitioned it. Bad idea for an external drive on the mac. lol Gave me heaps of trouble until I got rid of the partitions. Been VG ever since!

Grandpa it's nice to see the SCSI drives finally coming down in price. Yes they're fast & would be xtra good for video work. Generally much smaller in capacity however.

They have some 150GB models out there now.

Hi Grandpa

Back in the day, quite a few years ago, I was a keen advocate of SCSI drives, especially CD drives.

But now, I reckon that USB external drives are the easiest, most convenient way for a domestic user to expand the facilities on his PC.

However, if you are running a server or using your PC professionally then other options, such as SCSI, could be the way to go.
