My desktop system is a Win 7 64 bit, I have a Pogoplug P21, I have attached a 320GB drive formatted as ext3 on a linux box.

Net connectivity is working, device is activated, 5x5.

The problem is weird and I could never have imagined that this would happen.

When I try to upload any old binary file like a .EXE or whatever, it works great, the file is uploaded just fine.

Next I copied some .MP4 files off my camcorder to my desktop and decided to try to upload those, that is when I got an error. I have figured out that the problem only happens with certain kinds of video files.

The "browser" software sometimes says its "transcoding" or some such nonsense and then the errors pop up. Sometimes it reports that the device is out of space.

WTF? Anyone else know what is up?

Try using the regular pogoplug software. The browser will try and transcode a video for mobile use. Maybe that is what is messing you up.

Thanks, that was it, I was not aware that there was more software than just the pogoplug browser.

This is much better, now I can use the Pogoplug as a drive directly from windows.
