A long time ago, I compared USB to Ethernet performance and found that USB was just about as fast and far more conveinient. Once 2.00betaX came along, I tried again and found Ethernet to only be marginally faster (because the real wait was for the database rebuild). Well, now that I've got a LAN at home, I've been using Ethernet exclusively. Most of my sync's are done late at night and I unplug the player the next morning, but today I actually sat there and WOW is this thing fast now! I think it must be a combo of the latest empeg software and of HiJack because even the database rebuild is faster now (and the file transfers as well.)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU and let you know that the work hasn't gone unnoticed!
