FLAC shouldn't put your router under particular strain - I'm listening to the excellent new David Gilmour album which I FLAC encoded last night (in fact I used EAC & Mareo to encode it using FLAC and the highest bitrate CBR and VBR options for comparison purposes) No-one else is streaming anything

I scanned all the messages, but don't think anyone has mentioned heat might be the culprit. I know some folk have said that has been an issue with their particular router, but don't know about the Belkin. A good place to check would be the forums at http://www.dlsreports.com in their hardware fo

OK, that does sound promising. I still can't really believe it will solve my problem though - bearing in mind I also have problems with copying large files over the network. Only one way to find out though... Thanks for the info and the reassurance that it is an easy upgrade! -- mwoodroof --

Well apart from the problem I am having with my router it is! Not sure why you ask? What I was trying to say is that, computer fan that I am, I am not sure I want to get any more "bleeding edge" than I already am! I know that pre release software is more likely to cause problems than released sof

Yup email is sent! Did mention that one problem was in a streaming application but also said that the Windows networking file transfer was not working and did highlight the apparent 200Mb "limit". Hope they reply. Have a feeling they won't. Forums are much better for getting help from than big co

Sounds like the e-mail has already been sent, but if it hasn't, indicate the problem is transferring more than ~200 MB of files. If you indicate the problem is with streaming, they'll likely point the finger at Slim and wash their hands of any responsibility. In this case, it seems to be their r

If you install the latest nightly release of slimserver, the SB will upgrade the firmware to v35. You can go for 6.2.2, which is a maintenance release, rather than going for the 6.5 beta. If it doesn't work out you can rollback your slimserver to the current version, and I'm pretty sure the firmwa

Thanks for the ideas guys. Ben Sandee - When you suggest upgrading to the latest SB firmware, can you clarify that? When I got my SB3 and set it up, it did an auto upgrade, and reports using firmware version 28. Surely this is the latest version? You mention version 35 - is that a pre-release or
