More info for you guys...
Hello friendly type people! Not much happened today.  Did a bit of fun calling with some debt collectors to convince them I’m a sweet innocent girlie and they should give me more time to pay off my loans. Evil college loans, what the heck was I thinking going to a private college. I’m going to be spending the rest of my life paying off that debt I’m pretty certain. LoL
So today is a bit of continuation from yesterdays post about BitTorrents. A few of you seemed interested but a bit concerned about the technical side. I’ll just say this…I couldn’t program a VCR to save my life but I can use BitTorrent. ^^ But to make things a bit easier I dug up this website to help out the more visual folks. Now this site will walk you through step by step even helping you download the BitTorrent client they use in the example. It’s not the uTorrent one I recommended but another really popular one. But honestly if you learn to use one, you can pretty much use them all! I promise!
Common Sense Guide to BitTorrent: http://www.commonwebsense.com/2006/01/27/the-bittorrent-post/
Along the same lines as the BitTorrent I thought some of you might be interested in learning more about using IRC to download files and such. Since some of you have time constraints. It still means you have to download the program but at least you can get episodes through a more direct download format than BitTorrent allows.
Anime HQ here has a great bit of information on how IRC works, how to use the bots, how to ask for files from people serving and even how to set up your own server once you get really good at this and don’t want to leach anymore. ^^

I love Anime HQ’s encoding of dual audio DVD’s so I’m always happy to recommend their site to people who want to learn how to work these things.
Oh and Roxas thanks for reminding me about http://www.tokyotosho.com – I tend to forget them since I only use them to dig out raws for my screen captures. I love the fact they have just about anything there but it’s a bit cluttered if you just want English subbed ones. Hehehe
Oh and Elves I love http://www.mininova.org, though I don’t tend to use it for anime as much as I do for finding the latest TV shows that I missed for some reason or another. I downloaded so many early seasons of shows I got addicted late in their run! ^^
Oh I’ve seen narutofan, Bunraku but I just can’t do it. Direct download has it conveniences but I just can’t pay a group money for collecting them. I’m always willing to donate for sites but I won’t pay a fee. LoL But hey if it gets you your fix I’m all the more behind it! =)
That’s one of the great things about BitTorrent it’s completely free. Everything from the program, to the sites that house torrents. And honestly since I plan on keeping the anime on my computer until I can afford to buy it on DVD I don’t like lying to sites when they ask I delete them after viewing. LoL And yes I do buy my anime and manga in real form, it’s just as you can see I watch a lot of anime and buying it all at once would pretty much equally the debt my college loan stands at right now. LoL Heck just buying Inuyasha alone would probably require a robbing a bank!
Oh Number 5, actually I would love to burn them onto CD or DVD’s but for some reason my computer and oddly enough my roomies computer refuse to allow them to be burned. I don’t know why because I can burn just about anything else but for some reason it hates my animes. So hence I end up buying more hard drive space. Hehehe
Ok tomorrow I’ll show you guys a few sites to download manga. I know a few great ones for direct download as well as a few that are also BitTorrent and IRC related. Mangas actually a lot easier to find than most animes but then I guess they take up a lot less space on someone’s computer too! LoL
Oh and I realized I skipped my question last time, I am a night person. Completely. I just detest mornings! Though my roomies think it’s great to leave the dog in my room when they all go to work in the morning. The dog would be a definite morning person. LoL
Today’s question: Do copyright laws discourage you from downloading goodies off the internet?
