Jack, maybe you could clear something up for me that I've just sort of realised.

Back when I used Usenet, Sprung and I would post links to newzbin all the time. Now, I never knew why we were allowed, I just assumed we could because it was pretty much a 'specialist' thing. Like, you had to be 'in the know' to use it.

Well I just realised that torrents are sort of like that, so why can't we post links to torrent sites with bad thingz? I understand that torrents are much more widely used and commercialised, but the same principle should apply, no?

I didn't technically link to warez. And, as far as I know, like... 1 in 10 people know about newsgroups from what I"ve heard.

I wasn't refering to you. You posting that link just sparked my memory.

I mean, we would post directly to the thing, where you could download the NZB.

Not only this thread but the theme hangout too!

Anyone know anything about filesharing/xbmc/networking?? I'm having issues with XBMC connecting to my network for filesharing.

[Inferno.]

I'm using
Windows XP SP2 w/Sygate firewall.
XBMC-SVN_2007-02-09_rev7813-T3CH dashboard.
I've created the network connections etc, it just won't fileshare.
The weird thing is the Xbox is accessing the internet fine but not the sharing folders/network.

Gahhh, I just woke up, and I feel like crap.

Don't even bother.

Are you trying to FTP games from your PC to your XBox?

[Fer!]

Slow Hangout, I see.

Indeed it is. I just got done making breakfast...at 2:02 in the afternoon.
