   Just curious if anyone uses Plex.

I've been using it for a little over a year now and absolutely love it.  I have it running on my guest PC, as it is rarely being used.  Figured I'd share a few numbers, and see if anyone would be interested in sharing libraries.

It's running on:

5930k

16GB ram

4TB HDD

150Mbps Up and Download 

I have ~ 240 HD movies (ranging from 720p - 2160p)

A little over 2,500 different episodes across ~ 30-40 tv shows.

So far, I've peaked at about 20 people watching at the same time.  The CPU never broke 60% and the internet wasn't saturated at all.  Leaving me to believe that as long as no one is using the guest PC, I can probably handle streaming and transcoding for at least 5-10 more people.  It usually up/online 99% of the time.  Rare is it ever off and if it is, it's not long before I realize it and get it back up.

So yea, if you're interested, share your library stats, how much it's online, and if you're interested in sharing libraries!
