Unlimited Backup for a year + PogoPlug Classic for €23.88 Delivered.

Yes, it eventually stops. I have a 2TB drive attached with just less than 1TB in use and it took about 3 days to index and create metadata/thumbnails etc.

I am now archiving about 50Gb of photos to their cloud which is taking days on my UPC 25Mb line!

I am thinking of trying to install some of the optware that the OP mentioned like FTP so that my RASPBMC can stream movies from it. I need to read into the instructions as I don't want to brick my pogoplug.

All in all I am very happy with it. I mainly bought it for the 100GB of cloud storage.

I just checked my Credit Card, and Pogoplug tried to take $19.95 (€15) from me yesterday and they tried again today.
I couldn't even remember my Pogoplug account.

They added me in as "Family Plan"

I don't use the Cloud, i use my Hard Drives.
Everyone else should check as well, if they don't use the cloud.

Jaysus thanks !!
They had me in for that too.

Did anyone manage to hack anything useful on to their pogoplug ?

Hopefully people will see this before their year is up.

I gave up, my head was wrecked one day, and i meant to go at it again, in the meantime it sits beside my router with 2 x 1TB drives plugged in.

I also want to try these out.
Mainly this one - http://seth.killey.me/?p=916

Thanks Allyall for the heads up on the renewal - I think the combination of PMs and on-thread reminders should earn you some sort of BA Philanthropist of the year award! I'd completely forgotten we all signed up to this.

Free account is good enough - I only ever used it to test out transferring files to/from my phone.

Luckily it wasn't a big 'bargain alert'.

I pm'd everyone, i hope, except long_b as he had read and commented.

Imagine it was 6 or 7 pages long on a year subscription.. :eek::o

Thanks for the heads up!

I can't see Family Plan anywhere on my account though - anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Yeah, I had trouble finding it too since the website seems to be a little slow/designed to get you to sign up for more rather than to help you unsubscribe from products.

As far as I can recall:

1. Go to http://pogoplug.com/view.
2. Then, click where it says your email address with a blank avatar of a man's head beside it in the upper left side of the screen.
3. A drop down context menu appears.
4. Click on Account.
5. Wait five minutes for the ruddy page to load.
6. This page should show what you're subscribed to. The Family Plan will be there under 'description' if memory serves.
7. Then just click cancel!

Looks like its over now. I see the $29 offer but there's a * at the bottom saying
* Free device offer available in U.S. only

Pity, I would have got one to run a headless network music player like squeezeplug or MPD.

can we please get this marked as expired. It's not available anymore

Thanks
