any chance of getting a version without skins 1 gb is too big im on dial up would prefer a 100mb version without skins. Also a newbie question once i burn this .iso onto a blank DVD do i put the burnt .iso DVD into the xbox DVD drive and it installs xbox media centre automatically?
Even without the skin packs, AID 3.10 is still would have been around a 700mb download. There's absolutely no way it could be 100mb due to the software on there, XBMC alone is around 60mb, and then you've got everything else on top of that.
For your question, no it won't, you will have to use the AID program to select to install XBMC for you, but yes after that it installs it automatically.
I strongly advise going to www.aideluxe.com and checking through the manuals on there, just so you can get more of an idea on what it does.

OK let me get this straight, the torrent that I am downloading now from your link is corrupted? I am going to be pist if it is, I am almost downloading now. And I was so excited to get upgraded. I have been out of the xbox scene for a while and focusing on my PSP. I cant believe how much stuff I have been missing out on. I have the old school media center on mine and old school aps from when I installed the Slayers disk after I softmodded my xbox. But anyways can anyone confirm that the torrent is ok again?

well the torrent should be fine, far as I know, the ones from the 2 of the 3 vip servers here were corrupt. _________________

wow d00d... periods might help bring the thoughts together and make it more legible. from you message, I'm gathering that you want an easy way to download XBMC2.0, right? Well, if you know how to use IRC, hop onto EFNet (irc.efnet.net) and join #xbins. Then, follow the instructions you recieve when you login to get access to their XBMC server, NOT the first one.
You will recieve two messages from the XBMC bot. The first one lists their own personal server, which is usually bogged down and laggy. The second message says "If you're looking for XBMC builds" blah blah blah. That's the message you want with the FTP address of something like xbmc.distro.co.uk or something like that. Connect there, and you're good to go. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

unless you make one yourself, then there isn't one that I know of. Sorry, you're gonna have to FTP it over (find a way I guess) or just burn it as a data disc and use UnleashX or your current XBMC install's File Mananger to extract and place where it needs to go. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

Just another note: We are modders, not Microsoft. DJB coded his butt off to make the AID disc. It's not an easy task. No modding/hacking really is. Not every mod program has it's own auto installer. That would take a helluva lot more work. So here's one thing you can do. I hope this will make it a bit easier for you:
Download XBMC from Xbins. You're not a VIP here, so you can't get it off the VIP servers, which is a shame, because it's uber fast.
Burn it to a data disc (if your xbox reads CD-R's, I suggest you do that). Using your current build of XBMC, navigate to the file manager, pop in the disc you made, and open up the D drive.
Now, to make things real simple, make sure you have Unleash X on your xbox as well. You can also aquire that from #xbins.
Now, still using your old XBMC release, on the left side of the file mananger, make sure you're looking at your XBMC .rar file. On the left side, navigate to E:\apps, go back to your .rar and click on it once. This should open it like a folder. Now go back over to the E:\Apps side, press white and tell it to make a new folder called XBMC2.
once that's done, open that folder, go back to the left pane, press white and tell it to copy all those files over. Sit back and have a cigarette or a java. Once that's done, exit the file manager, and launch unleashX
Go to your gamesaves manager and delete the XBMC gamesaves. Now go out to your file manager, navigate to the XBMC2 folder you created. Navigate the right side to where your xbox boots (most likely E:\) delete everything XBMC related under that folder (evoxdash.xbe, system, blah blah) Now, go back to the left side, highlight default.xbe, press start, select rename, and name it "evoxdash.xbe". Once that's done, highlight everything (by pressing start and telling it to select all) and then move those files to the right side folder.
Once that's done, cross your fingers, reboot the system, and you should be greeted by the new XBMC Logo.
If that doesn't work for ya, or you just don't wanna do it.... sorry, bro. You're SOL. Get some broadband and download AID or learn how to make your own autoinstaller ISO. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

Honestly downloading AID would be the easiest option I think. Even if you have to talk a friend into it that has broadband.

i dont have access to my xbmc as my current installation is corrupt so cannot access media centre or have ftp access, i need to somehow reinstall it over corrupt version but cannot do it unless somehow i can see contents of dvd without use of xbmc and allow me to copy contents of dvd to xbox hdd or to allow me to boot from dvd with xbmc and auto install it

Like I and DJB said. Either get broadband, or talk one of your friends into downloading it. Otherwise, you're prettymuch screwed. One last thing, you could try and hotswap, but build the xbhdm disc using XBMC as a dash. A shot in the dark for ya. But if you're not willin to do it the ways we've mentioned, it's your last resort.
And please don't ask for a hotswapping tutorial. The search function under the tutorials database works JUST fine. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

The stock .iso is about 700mb I beleive. And yes, the corruption should have been fixed.
If you want to get the download more conveniently but possible slower, torrents would be a better idea. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide
