Anime Collecting!
Hiya! Well this is a pretty fast reply for me, I usually don't tend to get back here unless something comes up and makes me twitch until I post. LoL In this case its all about Yensid's comment. See what you do to me! =) ((Edit #2 LoL Ok this is why I shouldn't post late at night I can't remember who I talked too now. ^^ I know Mama Vash and VoodooDoll also talked to me about this but I still could have sworn Yensid did too. LoL)

Basically the question revolved around where do I get my anime! You see all those animes in the fave banner above? Hmm yeah I have all of them on my computer. I'm a bit of an anime horder. This computer currently has three hard drives, 2 of which are just for anime and are 300gig drives. My roomie also has a 200 gig one his room and we have a server that I have access too as well. But so far I've mostly just been filling up my computer and his. LoL

I dislike watching animes on places like YouTube because I don't get enough control of the product. I like watching shows on my TV honestly. And since my computer network is hmm hacked slightly by my technical minded roomie that means the old XBox on my TV can access those servers and play my anime videos. But thats a bit technical, honestly I can just as easily use Windows Media and watch it on my computer screen.

So here's the main deal I'd say 90% of the anime I have is downloaded from various sites using BitTorrent. I'll list some links here to those sites in a moment. The other 10% are downloaded episodes using IRC. I prefer BitTorrent if only because I don't really have to interact as much with the program once I set it up download as I do for IRC which generally is an episode download at a time. With BitTorrent I can have it downloading dozens of eps at the same time. =)

So if you're interested in BitTorrent I recommend:
UTorrent - http://www.utorrent.com/
Its a nice easy to use program that comes with a helpful information page there as well. Peer sharing programs are great because as you download your also helping other folks upload the same animes. Such a lovely feature. Though it can hurt if no one is currently uploading but most sites have a forum where you can request seeders (folks who have the anime in full) to upload for you to get the goodies.

My fave sites for downloads:
Current listings:
BAKA Anime - http://www.baka-updates.com/
Anime Source - http://www.anime-source.com/
Anime Suki - http://www.animesuki.com/

For older releases:
Download Anime - http://www.downloadanime.org/
BoxTorrent - http://www.downloadanime.org/
Anime 4Ever - http://anime-4ever.org/

There are tons more out there and lots of individual sites as well, but those will get you started if you're interested. Several of those sites also list to IRC sites and downloads as well so please have fun with those as well!

Ok thats all I have time for right now but I'll make a better post in the next couple of days. But I wanted to share those sites with people! And honestly if you have any questions about how this stuff works or whatever just drop me a PM, I'm always happy to lend a hand!

EDIT: Oh I forgot I also added a few new ecards so feel free to check those out as well! =)
