1) duplicate the drives and leave a copy on the club and your house so that you wouldn't need to move any HDDs at all.

--- Quote from: vuzedome on October 01, 2011, 09:17:50 AM ---Get another drive for the club, everybody pitch in some $$ and get a nice 2TB external.
--- End quote ---
Think you both have missunderstood my problem. I don't need to have full access to all of it both at home and at the club. I need away to get everything new I download at hoome to the collection at the club, sorted, indexed and ready without having to carry drives back and forth. Also what good is a if a 2tb drive going to do for me when the collection is closing in on 8tb.
I guess a possible option would be to have the same set of drives at both places and setup some sort of automated backup service between them.
--- Quote ---edit, adding an option:
1) move your club into your house or vice versa.
2) get an online storage or something?
3) http://www.labnol.org/internet/access-computer-files-over-internet/13816/
4) (warning, most expensive) have a lan cable run from your house to your club and access it like a NAS.
5) screw the club.

1) Have crossed my mind but no. Would won't to waste the nice cinema we have built
2) For 6-7tb data and increasing? Think option 4 might actually be cheaper.
3) Things like that I am looking at yes.
4) About 3km bird path straight through the city center :) Maybe some sort of radio link would be possible, I am living on the 3rd floor on a hill and can almost see the club house from my balcony :-)
5) The club is my baby that I have nurtured for the last 8 years so no.
--- Quote from: ColdFission on October 01, 2011, 06:29:05 PM ---I also want to add that if you do go all Internet access for your anime from you club house, I highly recommend you bring backups anyway because you never know when your Internet cuts out (I had mine cut out a few weeks ago due to copper vandals and was out for more than 24 hours), a computer malfunction, someone accidentally unplugging your machine/modem, etc.

My current computer and internet connection is very stable but even if it is down once in a blue moon it's not a big issue. We will just spend the evening playing BlazBlue: CS2 or similar instead.
Heck atm every time I take the drives home to fill up we don't have access for 1-2 weeks it takes to much time to get the 1-2tb of new stuff sorted into the collection.

4) your reply gave me an idea, try lan wifi though instead of a regular antenna use a satellite dish directly facing the club.

--- Quote ---Why? With just a handful of cheap parts, a salvaged DirecTV dish and a little soldering, we were able to detect access points from over 8 miles away. Using consumer WiFi gear we picked up over 18 APs in an area with only 1 house per square mile.

ah and you wouldn't need to get that other 10/1 line anymore, just fetch some internet through the wifi.

That might actually be better than using your home internet to stream data, since I'm guessing your upload speed is fairly limited. It'll be a lot more fun too, though not as cheap.
If you have the money, just buying two antennae would be possible too. You could probably get a couple of dishes for within $100, though whether they'll be powerful enough or not, I can't say. Most places you could buy them from should let you return them if they aren't powerful enough, though.

Your best solution is go with an http stream on windows you can run both llink or swisscenter, and there are a few others, then use vlc as the player set the buffer to something like 10-15 megs sure your video wont start right away but that should be enough to account for any speed drops in your isp speed.

the "powerfulness" depends mostly on the signal output of the transmitter, according to these sites the regular wifi routers should have enough juice to reach a 4mile target without much losses, 8miles with some losses. if the signal strength seems to be not reaching for some odd reason, you could buy a wifi signal booster.

--- Quote ---Congratulations to Team iFiber Redwire for their 125 mile unamplified 802.11b link!
This was accomplished with a 12 foot dish on a mountain on the outside of Las Vegas and their remote station with a 10 foot dish on a mountain to the west of St. George Utah.
