Yeah but i think it may make it a bit more obvious what i'm using the free service for as i'm guessing a portable HD would be quite a bit bigger

I'll look into it though, the only problem is you are only allowed on the computer for an hour at a time really so i would have to upload/ download any big files i chunks anyway. Though we're already looking into getting NTL cable internet next year in our house at uni, though it won't be as quick as my current LAN connection
