I have tried in many ways to make the Download manager, using ftp:, move all files in one folder on my PC to the Photos folder on the Thecus N1200 via my local network, but I can´t get it right.
Last try I got empty a folder on Thecus called "*.*" on this path "Photos > ftp's album > Documents and Settings\ALO\Dokumenter\Billeder\100_FUJI\"
I would like the manual to be more speciffic on what to write in the different text fields.

Chips don't die at 60ºC. I'm not sure where you've got that from. Perhaps you've read that as the thermal limit of a CPU somewhere. This was the highest setting for an alarm on one of my motherboards telling me the CPU was getting to hot. It is not an absolute value representing all chips now and in the future. I use this as a quallified guess. If this modification makes the temperature stay withinn a range where the fan control changes the speed, you have an active mecanism trying to hold the temperature at the same level. I can hear it working. Before the modification, air is moving the easiest way. Around the top, pasing A, B, C and D, but not much air is going under the bord to the CPu or the chips on the HD. Also air is flowing easily around G and E with the same result. There are no parts at A ,B ,C ,E or F that need the major part of the cooling air while CPU and HD board it "starved". The Mod makes the most of what little air the fan has to offer. But off cause.. you can also do other things that will improve cooling even more. Wat´s the temperatue "on" your box

Tempreature before I didn´t take the temperature before, but I guess it was around 45 C. If you have an unmodified N1200, please take the temp and tell us what it is. I opend the box to try to turn the fan aruond, then I saw all the resonance-spaces inside and as I fiddled around with it, the airflow ideas came to my mind. I didn´t plan to go public before I saw the result. I´m an impulsive person. Sorry. By the way, the fan is still blowing down. It blows the dust away, and wery little dust is at the top, so this way it keeps itself cleaner inside, than if you turned the fan upside down.

I have done some hard work to make my N1200 cool and quiet. I have some pictures and a long explanation, so let´s start at why. Looking inside N120 i noticed that the air had many ways to go that didn't do much for cooling the print and the HD. After some experiments i came up with this solution. I managed to get the temperature down to under 40 C./ca. 110 F? after streaming music for 15 min. and got the noise level even lower than it was. The Fan control is now lowering the speed most of the time. Here is what is needed to do the modifications. The white stuff is a kind of plastic wool used in speakers for dampning resonans, and its called acoustilux. Cotten wool can be used but has a tendency to give off hair(dust). Don´t use Rockwool of any kind! The plastic foam can be any kind you can find like, polystyrene. I just found this in a box along some forgotten hardware. The rest need no explanation( if i´m wrong, just ask ) How I did it: A. Keep clear of the fan, we don´t want anything stopping it. B. Cut a piece of wool, the size of a normal index finger and put it gently where shown. It has to be fluffy to work proberly. There is no parts here needing cooling, but it´s a space for resonances. C. Cut 2 foam pieces that fit tightly i the L-shaped space here behind the 1GB network connection. Remember to fill out the space under the metal edge. We want to close this hole in order to force air to go under the print and HD. This will cut off a waste of air from the fan. D. Cut a piece of wool 4x5 cm. and roll it to a 4 cm high cylinder. Put it as in the picture and take care not to cover any of the ventilation holes. This is needed to direct the airflow all the way from corner to the other corner and it will also dampen resonances in the "big" space between C and D. E. Cut wool in a 4x5 cm piece an stuff it down behind the LED´s. When we close up it will prevent air flow around the LED´s where air is wasted. F. Cut a 2x10 cm. piece of wool and and fill the gap above the HD connection. First of all it prevents resonances here and helps E to stop the air. G. This shows the small pieces of rubber around the screws and between HD and cabinet. This stops vibration from getting tranfered from the HD to the box. If you want to prevent the cover from shaking even a little bit, put some small pieces of foam on top of the HD, ½x1x1 cm and fix them with double adhesive tape. Well that´s it... Now put on the cover and hope that I´m right and nothing bad happens. I have tested this for a day, but you never can tell and I can´t give any garranties. If you try this, you do it at your own risk.And remember to take all the strange stuff away if you need repair. Have fun. >>> Edit I have changed server, but I hope this works

Try FTP:
If the IP addres of your Thecus is 192.168.1.100. Open "this computer" (icon) In the text field at the top enter "ftp://192.168.1.100/" and press enter. Open the "music" folder. (2 click)
Now you can copy/paste files from an other "my computer" window showing the files you want to copy.
When ready, log in to Thecus as "admin" and enable ITunes. then wait for a rescan.
I do not use ITunes, but the Media server for A Roku M1001, but both look in the Music folder for music.

I use a Pinnacle Soundbrigde M1001 as a media server, even put tracks in the right order when browsing "album"´s. I like that very much

Hitachi T7500 320 GB, no problems yet for 2 weeks. I put 8 rubber pieces between screws >< cabinet >< HD to make it even more silent. Only gives off soft "knock"´s when working hard One user, r32190, told us that his T7500 32GB, got to hot and stopped working. Temperature, in my case, was arround 45 degrees celcius, maybe more inside. After some modifications to N1200, temperature is below 40 C and HD is still going strong.

When I want to enter the admin interface, I log in as:
User: admin Password:****** (as set in the setup fase, "admin" is default)
Then all the admin functions are on the next screen.
I don´t see anyone saying they did that, so it´s not to be smart, just trying to be on the safe side.
kind regards alo

Sorry it´s "download manager via http:" not "automated http:".
And by the way, FTP in Download manager is not working for me, but thats an other forum(se N1200 wishlist) .

Automated http: file size is limited to 4 GB. Copy stops at 4.99 GB without warning but perhaps you can move bigger files using Filezilla or others.
