One more streamload question (about the service and fees)

[webb3201]

Thanks to all how sent the complete shows to Streamload. Would those with more experience fill me in on the process (billing).

It looks like I will need to a)subscribe to download the shows to a streamload storage account, and then b) subscribe to download them to a local machine. It looks to be around 35.00 ish for a month (which should be all of the time I need to fill my show holes)

Am I correct in how the process works?

Has anyone else suscribed and cancelled an account after the first month? any trouble with the process?

Thanks all,
Kevin

Webb3201,
If memory serves, you get about 5 gigs of downloads per month for about $5. The total cbsrmt set is less that 15 gigs so in about 3 months, you could download the whole collection, assuming a person starts from scratch. I haven't tried to cancel my account so I can't tell you if there are any troubles in this regard.

good...I realized that I need not bother buying storage space (thanks for the confirmation). Now to try and sort my poorly organized catalog and figure out which eps., I need.

Yep, Streamload is serious when they say the storage is unlimited. They don't charge by storage or upload. Rather, they charge when you want to access the files via a download. It's a great service, in my opinion.

This is a great service. The good news is I have high speed access...the bad is that I am a Mac users and it seems Get Right will not be an option. Oh well.....slow and steady works just as well.

Kevin,

As you already figured out, you only pay for download bandwidth.

I don't know anything about the Mac but I am sure there are download managers available. You might check on cnet.com or tucows.com and look at the available Mac software. The download manager would accept a list of URL's from Streamload and download them as you wanted.
