Oh, OK, that could be cool then...

There's nothing to stop you storing the files on the empeg - just ftp 'em onto it. To play them without downloading first will require fancy software for things like DivXs though, as these need to be complete before they will play, generally.

Theoretically, if you installed samba or something on the empeg, you could make the HD viewable as a drive under windows, and hence play the files without downloading them fully. I don't know if anyone has got samba working on the empeg though.

Hope this helps,
