4oD Software

Hey Guys,

Dont know if anyone else uses this, but Ive just given Channel 4 On Demand a try to catch up on some programs.

Ive installed it but when downloading a program my hard drive is going nuts! Its like im defragging. This normal? Ive got a 74Gb Raptor.

Oh and anyway to change the store directory and or Drive? Ive looked on their site but they say it can't be done which im amazed by! :confused:

EDIT : Runing Windows XP Home, as 4od does not support vista atm

Doesn't that work just like a torrent program? So while you're downloading all the parts its also uploading to other users.

Yes, and even when you're not downloading - if you don't want it to let it download what you want and then kill the khost and kservice services.

You really do have to do this ^.

Exiting 50% of the time doesn't exit for me.

you need to remember its beta software at the end of the day so its not going to be perfect

And it is quite, quite far from it. But it's still a good idea.

Do you have to pay to download episodes or stuff or is it just crappy clips?
