    1. @nightwillow Christ, that's a lot of pony to upload.

      1. @haganbmj oh, hey, it's down to 6 hours

        Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 04:47:58 UTC from web
        1. @nightwillow Only slightly better :P ~ What's the total size of the files you're uploading? 15gb or something?

          Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 04:49:05 UTC from web
          1. @haganbmj the zipped file is 644 mb. unzipped its.... now way! it's 666 mb!

            Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 04:50:21 UTC from web
            1. @nightwillow O.o ~ 666!

      2. @haganbmj I don't know how much you have, but I've got 12.5GB with all the PMVs and episodes I've downloaded. Trying to back it up to an external drive was fun.

        1. @eaglehooves xD ~ I don't even want to total it up. I'm nearing 4gb of images, in addition to the pmvs, 1080p rips and 720p rips.

          1. @haganbmj Sounds like you've got way more than me. I've only got about a gig if you take out all the video.

            Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 04:57:54 UTC from web
            1. @eaglehooves Still all adds up ~ I was forced to dump the videos onto my external thanks to the pitiful storage space on my hard drive.

              1. @haganbmj Yea. My computer's new, so thankfully I don't have to worry about space yet, but I can't back up to the 2GB flash drive that my pony folder used to share with several other topics at the start of all this.

                1. @eaglehooves My computer's fairly recent as well (year?), but for some reason only had a 300gb hard drive built in - which between school programs and a number of larger files goes fairly quickly.

                  1. @haganbmj bahaaha i wish i had that much

                    Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 05:11:21 UTC from web
                    1. @madflavors lol, how much do you have? I can't imagine really working with anything less based on how I store stuff. I have 1.5tb or so at home and that seems to be sufficient q.q

                      Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 05:12:22 UTC from web
                      1. @haganbmj i have 50 gigs

                        Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 05:13:11 UTC from web
                        1. @madflavors q.q That's less space than my music takes up!

                          1. @haganbmj my computer is a piece of junk dinosaur that should've died forever ago, but it keeps on chugging along. i really need a new one #

                            1. @madflavors *chugga chugga* Hey, if it works - it's worth it :D

                              Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 05:16:37 UTC from web
                              1. @haganbmj at this point probably not. I WISH I WASNT SO DAMN POOR #

                            2. @madflavors My family designated me tech support for one of those. They want me to get an old dell with 1.6ghz processor, a 36gb HDD and 768mb ram to run Photoshop. It literally hurts me to work with that thing. #

                              1. @eaglehooves funny those specs sound familiar

                                Wednesday, 03-Aug-11 05:19:59 UTC from web
                                1. @madflavors Just realized I missed your comment earlier about only having 50GB. That's unfortunate. Maybe you could drop another HDD into it to get some extra space, and maybe some extra RAM, that's not too hard and a lot cheaper than another computer. If you can afford that you might be able to make it keep chugging a bit longer.

                                  1. @eaglehooves i'd rather it die. we have a perfectly suitable computer that no one uses. only it's caught up in some family confusion. to boring to go into.

                                    1. @madflavors I've been there. As long as you have a computer available if that one dies. Last fall my desktop was broken for almost two weeks, drove me crazy being stuck without a PC. At first it was ok, then I started to realize how much I look stuff up online. After about 12 hours of do-it-yourself tech support across 4 days, I managed to bring it back to life.

                  2. @haganbmj I know. I got mine in May for college in the fall. Due to all the old content I moved from my desktop I've filled over 200gig already. A lot of it is junk that can go away, but it's a pain to sort through all of it.

                    1. @eaglehooves Right right - there's a point at which I just don't want to deal with certain folders (like some of the disorganized pony image folders I have) ~ I started fresh on this computer though; only transferred over my music files.

                      2. @nightwillow Nice. Mine was a grad present too, but it's a workhorse (Dell Latitude). One of my friends got an Alienware laptop for college. He's got more money than tech skills, though, so my computer actually runs better than his.
