[QUOTE="MageMinds, post: 647528, member: 30288"] I see your problem ... You're getting the files from a friend probably located the other side of the city... That's awesome by the way the you city provide you with that kind of network... But I don't think that you can buffer a network file unless you're using a streaming protocol... That's the way media container and codec works... Maybe you can pre download the file locally before reading it? You could even automate this using some kind of rsync between your friend and you... rsync would restart where it stoped in case of a network failure... A job that is initiated every 15 or 30 minutes would do the trick. rsync is really fast, but you have to have a rsync server at your friend place... cwRsync is the Windows version of rsync, it works very well and you would not have to worry about network failure anymore. You would only have to have a NAS on your side... QNAP have a nice NAS that integrate rsync natively. You could also backup important data to each other place. I also hope you're using a VPN between you two, this add up on your network problem, if the network drop, then your VPN does also and both have to come back before you can have access to the files. I would do rsync with local cache, you would have a small delay before being able to read the files... 20mbits would get you a 1 GB file in under 10 minutes... [/QUOTE]
