How would I extract a sample from it?
"man split" for osx/linux, split it into 200MB chunks, when the first chunk is done, control-c out. PM me for the address of provate ftp server.

When I first set up smb connections, it wasn't very good. There was a long "buffering" delay at the start and lots of stuttering. I simply enabled nfs on the readynas share and changed to nfs mounts on the apple tv. It worked so well, I just kept it and moved on. The only problem I have is if the atv reboots, I need to ssh and set my mounts again. So far I've had no luck getting them to automount. The machine rarely need to be restarted though.
I followed the steps at awkwardtv to set up nfs. Then I use mount_nfs to mount the readynas share on a local directory: eg. mount_nfs readynas:/library /Users/frontrow/Movies. Then in XBMC, just add your source as /Users/frontrow/Movies.
