This way you can format the 'EARS to NTFS on a Windows PC. That way you can move the drive back and forth from the C-200 to the PC to transfer large files. You don't want to be copying 50GB Bluray rips over the network.

I use an ICY DOCK MB877IK mounted internal to my PC.
And a Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U external USB and eSATA hot-swap docking station.

eSATA or internal SATA are the fastest way to transfer files.

I use FTP for files less than 2GB.

@ChrisZathens, Actually, I run Fedora Linux on my PC and partitioned my internal and external drives to ext3 with GParted. No problems at all. There are no Windows PCs in my house. I'm hoping for an Android tablet in January-February.

I use the number keys to skip to a percentage of the movie like 7 for 70% or 9 for 90% etc. After doing this on a few movies none of the avi's work anymore. Selecting any of them takes me right back to the menu. My bluray rips, ISO's etc still seem to work. A restart seems to be the only thing which will get them working again.

Just thought I'd mention this to see if anyone else has this issue or if anyone can reproduce the issue. Some times I also use the time seek button so it might be that or a combination.

Thanks.

Any ideas?

I tried downgrading to an earlier version with no luck. I recently upgraded the apps since a long time. maybe thats what causing it..

If so, then you have to reinstall that with every new firmware.

I tried freeing up some space on the internal hard drive but that didn't help either.
