[Part 2] Download torrent & newsserver package(s)

[zilexa]

Actually Davem, that could be it. I just never considered running Ubuntu or a linux live cd on the laptop.. The laptop has a 500GB harddrive so it will be tight (only 460 actual Gigabytes). but that would be the fastest way just do everything on the laptop.

But I read Ext2Fsd has only experimental support for writing to EXT. Perhaps thats why you say EXT3 instead of 4? its better supported by Ext2Fsd?

Thanks for the tips. At least I know I am not the only one doing all this copying and partitioning. Slowly moving away from regular desktop OS systems..

Edit: I am sure Im able to find a Live CD that can read the NTFS laptop-harddrive and copy it to the ext4 formatted usbdrive. No need for ext2fsd and I can use ext4. Thats gonna be it!

More on topic: I have a very happy gf, Transmission downloads tvshows flawlessly even when XBMC is running. And Flexget automatically adds the torrents. Its great. Cant wait to receive my RPi will start building packages like crazy
