[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 895766, member: 18896"] The actual database and thumb folders are not 'that' big though. At a collection of 4000 you can minimize your 'Thumbs' folder to under 3GB with a database folder of under 100MB. So total is less then 1GB per 1000 movies. For piece of mine you should ensure you have at least 2GB free space to make a backup then. As for re-import speed fresh, an online import should be roughly 5 seconds per movie (or faster) and highly depends on which scraper-system you use, how slow your internet connection is to obtain all the artwork and how large all the artworks are. So if you have 3600 movies, then it can take indeed 5 hours, but for your collection that's at least half that time. You can also adjust your scraper-system options if you use a scraper such as IMDb+ to speed things up. An off-line import however goes as quick as your harddisk can keep up, and you can generate those easy now with forum 3rd party tools such as MovPicNFO. [/QUOTE]
