I've tried Orb and like you mentioned, the picture was terrible. I mean, downright awful. Unwatchable in my experience.
What is your upload speed? Picture quality has been decent for me since I upgraded to a 10/2.5 mbps package.
So I just need to get an old computer and put a few 1TB HDD's in there and set it up for remote access? Can only one computer access it at one time? Or is it only those who have the password for it?
That's pretty much all you need to do. A gigabit LAN card would improve transfer speeds, but isn't exactly required. You would also need a gigabit switch in that case, but that would also be necessary with the server you linked to.
I don't know the actual limit, but more than one computer can access it at a time. I guess the limit would vary based on the ftp software you use.
Password protection is typically optional, but I highly recommend using it.
If you already have the computer, I suggest setting up the network and giving it a try before purchasing drives and such. This way, you could have a good idea of what you are paying for, and it would allow you to fix any issues that might come up before spending a bunch of money.
