General Software Discussion / files and folders emulator

« on: March 28, 2008, 09:07 PM »

hello

I have several external hard disks with files

I need a program that will gather the names and size of all the files and folders in them and it will create a database of all the files and folders

then, when I paste a file in a specific folder, it will check if the files is duplicated and it will popup a warning of 'file already exist' as if the file existed

this will save me from having duplicate files on each of the drives

is there a program that can do this?

I know that it can be done with specific RAID hardware, but I want a software solution

I would like to make all the files and folders to all my hard disks (that are external) to appear as if they were all in one disk

and I then to use this hypothetical disk as a database of all my files and folders so that I can check if a file is already there or not

thanks

General Software Discussion / optimize download speed

« on: November 05, 2007, 11:04 AM »

hello

I have several applications that are downloading, usenet program, download manager, bittorrent program, browser, etc

what I want is to set download speed limits for each program, but these limits should be dynamic, which means the limit will adjust in specific circumstances

for example, if there is browser activity (there is some downloading from the browser as I browse webpages), the download manager will obey a speed limit
when there is no browser activity, the download manager will download at unlimited speed

is there any program to do this?

thanks
