Re: hkdata.crabdance.com or hkdata.fairuse.org not found

I was having a problem accessing the server to download the latest HK data. Tried a number of suggested workarounds. Went to bed, tried again in the morning and all was OK. Sometimes a little patience might be all that is required :-)

Re: Movie file organization software

I have to agree with dcoke22: what exactly are you looking for in organisation? I use Plex and all my movie files are named "Movie Name (Year)". They are all in a single folder. The exception would be where I have two different versions such as "Movie Name (Year) - 1080p" and &qu...

Re: Drive not reading discs

Re: Top Gun: Maverick

I've been ripping DVDs, Blu-Rays and recently 4K UHDs for a few years now, using an Asus BW-16D1HT in an external powered USB 3 enclosure with the flashed firmware to enable LibreDrive.
