Ability to share multiple folders/drives

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:).

With Hi-Speed USB interface, the LaCie Hard Drives offer fast data transfer rates (up to 480Mbits/s) that are required for substantial jobs like downloading digital photos or saving MP3s.

These drives offer setup that is nearly effortless, and are ready to use minutes after removing it from the box. Secured rubber feet allow drives to be stacked, so you can get the most out of limited desktop space.

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 :D 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.
