Hey i have 2 computers in home but i have pretty bad internet connection, is there a way to carry my .blend file into slave computer by pendrive and disable auto sending rendered files back to main computer? I would like to carry whole .blend file to slave computer and rendered files back to main via usb pendrive ^^
Btw are this forum still under construction? Because i cant open my profile and settings tabs, and it looks as the account on the forum is not dependent on the main(login needed to download addons) because when i created account here I had to do it again to download the addon because it dont found my email in your database oO

Hi there @dawidwizor if you have two computers at home, and they are on the same network, then your internet connection is not going to affect the speed at which you can transfer the files. Crowdrender is a peer to peer application, the two computers you have will talk directly to each other using your local area network. You can even disconnect the internet and still run crowdrender.
You can also transfer files manually if you like, but this negates some of the benefit of using crowdrender, still it is possible. You'll notice that if you open the scene you want to use, and then connect one computer to the other, the render node/slave computer will create a folder for the blend file. The folder will be in
*path to your user folder*/cr/server/
The name of the folder will be in UUID format, see this link for more info on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier
As for the forum, it's broken. our website is a mix of a wix front end (which I don't actually recommend, we're moving away from six) and a custom back end.
We're building a new website, probably next year now, and migrating everything off wix until we're self sufficient and not reliant on a third party like wix, square space etc for building features like our forum and blog.
We tried creating a ticket for fixing exactly what you're talking about, but they pretty much have ignore it. So we're stuck with the broken forum until we can get away from wix. Sorry about that, we're doing the best we can. James
