Xionith Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Alright, I am not sure if this is in the right place or not, also I am not sure if it is possible (thats why Im asking!). Ok, the PC in my house, that has the internet is my parents PC. It doesn't have morrowind and wouldn't be able to run it anyway. So my dillema (sp?) is plugins are too big to fit on floppys, to transfer to my PC. Is there anything I might be able to do to transfer them. My PC doesn't have the internet... Also like maybe ONCE in a WHILE I can download all the things I want on my PC and switch my parents hard drive into my PC, and transfer it all to my hardrive, but not often at all....Any help would be great!

wesaynothin Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 You could move your comp near the comp with internet and hook them up with a network. That would do it easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Download the file splitter from THIS SITE (scroll down about 2/3 of the page). It'll split files into pieces of a chosen size (1mb or whatever), then you just run the program it creates along with the parts to recreate it. As long as you've got enough disks to add up to the total size of the file, that'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xionith Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 So you mean I could split any plugin, put all the pieces on floppys, transfer 'em to my PC, and it'll work? Also wesaynothing, I cant move my PC, no room and my parents wouldn't exactly be happy with that... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspore Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Another thing you could do is get a USB External Zip Drive (basically 100 mB or 200 mB floppys) which you could then use to transfer files between the 2 computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 A more effective solution would involve two 10/100s and a network cable... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xionith Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 Lots of solutions... But Peregrines seems to be the "least expensive"... It worked to! Thnx A ton All you guys! Now I have entered the plugin world... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Sorry to hijack the thread Xionith, but i have a valid question. Does anyone own a USB key? You know, the small little things abou the size of your little finger (unless you have really big hands... :shifty: ) that you can i transfer 100-200MB of stuff in a second? nightspore mentioned it, and i figured they must be the same thing. I was going to buy one of Ebuyer (go here now for cheap, excellent quality PC products... sorry, plug over :blush: ) soon, and i wanted some people's opinions on them.

Now I have entered the plugin world... :D True, the file splitter is the least expensive (free) solution, but it can get sort of unwieldy when downloading really huge mods, and you have to have 25 or 30 floppies. and inre the USB key loveme4whoiam mentioned, I've never heard of them. I was talking about an actual drive that Iomega manufactures (the 100 mB versions are about US$50-60; no idea about how much they cost in Europe) that connect via the USB port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one at home (external 250Mb Zip) and use it almost exclusively for transfering plug-in files that download while I'm at work; but gawd it's handy for a LOT of things. 250Mb is a lot of room, they can use the smaller 100Mb disks and Zip Disks are a lot "tougher" than CD's (which is important for me).
