Added on January 27, 2009, 4:17 pmwhat is normal MKV in your case?? izzit normal AVI DVD rip? 700-800MB rite?

I think for me, normal HD MKV is 720p with DD track so that comes out to be 4+GB per movie..

no download limit.

1~2 hours for how movies how many Gbs? it is those 700mb x264 files or those 4gb above files?

Anyway, rapidshare now got limit of 2.6gb hope they will increase soon...I've used up my Trafficshares and points for extended downloads

this is just a dvd rip into mkv movie....350MB files. More than sufficient for me to watch latest movie without breaking my bank for buying cinema tickets.....

a bluray mkv is good too but too much time wasted waiting...

how can you say HD quality is wasting time? lol...then buying 1080 capable screens are also wasting time. if you are just a typical guy that can watch whatever quality stuff, it's fine. but you cant say waiting for higher quality = wasting time. cos other than blu ray rips, the quality is just shitty. plus some good movies deserve a HD treatment.

then i just a normal people watch in whatever quality...lol relax la bro....

FYI i also have some HD-DVD-DTS rip avi movie for my fav. movie. only my fav. movie....and i'm still keeping it till now...

it can be a waste of time if you compare with actually just go and buy a copy of the movie off the shelf.....most of the time even ordering from amazon is faster than waiting for a 40GB files to complete.

you got >100Mps line mah. why dun go download all those BD rips.. 1TB drives sure are cheaper than those BD GBP prices..

I could agree more....buying the original is the way for movie lovers specially for your fav. title. A pure genuine movie lover...plus can be sell back if stop quitting with this hobby....

pirate wan arr if you want to main2 then delete can la...IMHO

BD probably outlast HDD...there's the risk of HDD crashing

buyin lcd tv to watch .avi format just wasting my money n time...

you don't know that for certain (unless you wait 5-10years from BD launch), already got BD rot on small number of discs..

think HDD's lifespan is less than 5-10years

my 5-8years 30-40GB drives still functioning (just left in storage drawer). my 6.4GB drive over 10years will working as well..
and my 2-3years 320GB drive, has been easily backed-up (2+hours) to my 1TB drive...
and 2-3 years from now, my 1TB drives will be backup up to my 3-4GB drive easily via USB3.0 (5Gb/s)..

it will last longer when they are not used everyday.. most of my archive stuffs (with 2nd backup) need not be powered up daily...

daily limit of 2.6GB ?

heh...of course it last lot longer if its not powered up...i was referring to daily usage of the hdd

for archive purpose only mah... no need to powerup 5-8 external cased hard disk daily rite?

yeah..it was 10gb previously, now change to 2.6gb...but there are some rumors going on that in Feb RS might just increase that limit
