I don't have any files on my computer yet. I am new to this Home theater thing. So I have been just using content from Icefilms and 1channel.
What is the best way to get files into my Mac so I can see if that works?
Thanks

I downloaded Big Buck and played it from the HD on the Imac it it worked fine and looked great. I don't know how to point XBMC to stream Big Buck but that should be my next step to see how it looks streaming. I am thinking it might be my modem/internew connection being slow. What kind of download speeds should I need to stream?
Thanks for the help so far.
