    The MAME set does usually take a few minutes to check through before starting to download the differences. I think it is mainly due to how many files are in the set, and utorrent needing to check the hash and size of every one.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    AlexJ is right. I keep my torrents that are updated regularly on my internal disk, then do a copy with ViceVersa to an external one for backup. But if you use the external to update the set, it will take ages and sometimes freeze the PC when checking the already existing files.

    It is a very data intensive process. I only ever store such files on the internal HDs in my server.

    I did once test using a NAS drive to store and seed files, but every time I needed to reboot the system uTorrent took forever to verify each torrent being seeded from the NAS before it then started to seed them, so I gave up on that idea.

    That was one of the reasons I send back my NAS.

    That isn't a limitation of the NAS though, as a NAS is only really an HD or collection of HD's directly attached to the network. It is a restriction of how TCP/IP works, which slows down the access of a large number of small files at once.

    Hello guys,

    Harrison, can you give me a link where I can download this?

    Would this download also contain all the arcade roms?
    I don't really need them all, there are only a few arcade games I really wish to play again.
