Is there anything I should look out for in particular?
Not really, I mean, let me explain to you my process to see if that helps
First of all I have 3 backups… 1 in cloud, 1 in secondary ssd, 1 in external ssd. When I download something from a source that I’m not sure about specifically in 1337x I:
- Check the comments first, if there are a majority of people complaining then I don’t download
- If there are no comments, I check the profile of the uploader and check comments on other uploads. Seeing this guys’ other uploads it seems that his content is ok and there is no need to worry about it.
- Just in case, or if I’m still not sure, I run it through virustotal.
- If I’m STILL not sure, I just use a VM and install it on the VM. If something happens I just delete everything and my computer is fine. And even if somrthing happens I’m prepared to do a clean install without worrying about my files.
I’m not sure and someone can correct me please if I’m wrong, but if the drive is installed in the same computer it doesn’t make a big difference. VM is always better imo.
Go to Options > Share Folder (on the top, next to “Set Download Folder”)
Then select the folder you want to share with all the music or videos in it and that’s it.
You can set up a single folder that has subfolders, or you can share multiple folders separately, your choice.
