Download Assistance

If you need stuff to help download....

www.flashget.com - An excellent download manager. Works well for dial-up users. (Break)

azureus.sourceforge.net - Break's BitTorrent client of choice. (Break)

Anime -

www.boxtorrents.com - A reliable source for anime, OVAs, and such. BitTorrent required. Oh, and you don't need to sign up to download. (Break)

www.narutomania.com - Anime series for download - well worth the sign-up. (teh1337caper)

www.animesuki.com - This tracks unlicensed fansubs on other trackers. The collection is quite large, so it's a great source. (Break)

yhbt.mine.nu - Dattebayo Fansubs, has mostly Naruto and Bleach (and has to stop subbing Bleach) but has a few others as well. (Grimlock)

www.hongfire.com - Hongfire Anime Network. (Break)

www.absoluteanime.com - Good place for info on your favorite animes. Highly Recommended. (Progeny)

General Torrents -

www.mininova.org - General torrents. Also try ISOHunt. (Break)

www.d-addicts.com - General Torrents. Your source for subbed J/K/C-dramas :3 (kame)

www.torrentz.com - Nice torrent website for anything (ShadowEternity)

www.torrentspy.com - Mostly computer torrent stuff...(ShadowEternity)

www.isohunt.com - Good tracker that indexes many public trackers. (Break)

www.demonoid.com - A tracker with a bit more focused content than the public trackers. Nice source for games and comics. You don't need to sign up to download the torrents, but you need to in order to see the details of the torrents. (Break)

www.newnova.org - An alternative to Mininova, and the heir to Suprnova. A good place to check out. (Break)

(Break) [Currently down facing Sweedish legal action, update on status to be made on 6/3/06 -MasterSol] [UPDATE - Back up with new servers based in the Netherlands. It went back up a while ago, but still, just to keep the info flowing - Break Miyama, 6/13/06]

www.dreamorabt.com/ - DreamoraBT, an Asian-media tracker. (Break)

www.tokyotosho.com - A Japanese media tracker. Has anime, music, etc. If you look at the website details for the individual torrents, you can find links to other trackers.
