Okay guys, let's admit it, this site rocks. It's probably one of the few anime sites out there that host decent anime, in the original AVI format, for free. I love it a lot, and just like a few/a lot of people out there, I am also having trouble downloading. Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ is one of my favourite anime, and I couldn't wait to download the next episode. Besides, I had to do it before the show was licenced, or before the torrent was dead, or before the IRC channel ran out of... "FServs".
I authorized episode 11 from Silk, went to my download manager and pressed Start. After ten minutes, the download died. It refused to turn on and start again, and kept saying the file size had been changed. So, I went to get another authorization, and it worked for about a minute, and then the same thing happened for the second time.
Now, you're probably thinking "it's your download manager". Well, being right or wrong, I went and got GetRight. Another authorization later, the download worked for 0:08:24, and stopped. It said the file had been moved or was incorrectly spelt. I waited a few minutes, got a fourth authorization and it STILL wouldn't start. Hoping I hadn't been banned, I went in search of another download manager.
This time I tried ReGet. I'm wasn't quite sure of the point, since all download managers would work the same way, but I tried nevertheless. I forgot to get an authorization the first time, so it obviously didn't work, but then the whole program decided to crash so I gave up. I really had had enough. I don't hate the site, I don't hate the webmaster... I was just, annoyed.
Then I found LimeWire. Yes, the P2P File Sharing Program. It was a last resort. So, I downloaded the program (actually I got the Pro version off a warez site... But that's classified info
), searched Mahoraba and woah... I found it! That was lucky. Double-click to download. Estimated time remaining... Thirty-four minutes.
Thirty-four minutes? Yeah, as if. No, seriously. I downloaded Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ episode 11 in just over thirty-four minutes. It's true. By the way - I had my upload slots set to 0 at the time, which meant no-one could upload from me, and I had my download slots set to unlimited. I have never been so happy about P2P.
Being the niece of the CEO of Sharman Networks, I have grown up with Kazaa, the biggest P2P Program on the web, with 75% junky files in it. I think 1 out of every 10 files I downloaded I actually kept, since the rest were so sloppy or screwed up. Once I knew Kazaa, I knew P2P, so I never really trusted any other programs, thinking they're all the same. I was so wrong. LimeWire is fast, decent, and reliable - I haven't been happier with a download agent. And I'm saving money by conserving bandwidth!
