In reply to:
Your problems are very strange; certainly with 1.03 I've done large (ie, 20GB+) syncs in one go with no problems, over both USB and Ethernet
I always get the strange problems. Ask Dave Moss...Emplode suddenly refuses to work (it locks up right after the 'finding player' dialog box shows up) on my PC at work but works fine at home. I even uninstalled and installed b7 and it still dies...
As for the 20GB transfers...you are Hugo of EMPEG so of course it all works for you!!!

I am lucky if I get 650MB transferred over in one go. Whether it is USB or Ethernet. Now I do have an AMD CPU (TBird 800) which some people have alluded to as being the culprit. I just can not see how. Maybe you guys could compile an 'Optimized for AMD' version of Emplode. I know compilers can do it for Intel CPUs but not sure about AMD.
Oh well...as long as I get some synchs completed I will not be too upset...
