 Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 1:41 pm Post subject: Where do Japnese people download their torrents? Post Rating: 0 |
 |
|
I've been looking for some shows that aren't on sites like this or J-popsuki. I figure the next best place to look is on torrent sites for Japanese people. I can read Japanese (slowly) but I have no idea where to look.
Any one use a torrent site made for Japanese people?
(And fyi, I'm looking for エンタの神様 and Osaka based ヨシモト stuff.)

From what I hear... They don't use torrent at all.
For some reason I can't successfully install it, but I think they usually use Winny to share. I used to find a lot of random shows on WinMX.

| Yep, your best bet is finding a copy of Share and installing it correctly...not the easiest task.

A lot of them download off D-Addicts. When the uploaders here obtain the raws from the Japanese sources, D-Addicts is actually FASTER. When I jump into a BT swarm for a current drama, I see dot-jp IP addresses by the dozen.

Same here, see several folks from Japan downloading when I'm seeeding. (using uTorrent which localize IP adresses and guess from which country they are)

I also think that a lot of Japanese BT users just use the English sites. BT users seem to be a minority compared to the Share/Winny/Perfect Dark users though...WinMX clients like Utatane also have a following.
Along with the several Japanese people who download here, there are also some Japanese posters on d-addicts' forums, like apartofmylife..._________________

|
|
| 8thsin is right. There aren't really any Japanese torrent search engines or trackers which handle J-dramas. I would say WinMX is the most popular P2P client in Japan for J-drama, but OpenNap/Utatane is better for new releases and the more obscure titles. Share has some J-dramas as well. For those interested in trying these apps out, I've posted FAQs for WinMX, OpenNap/Utatane and Share to the Tech Support channel.

Fuurin, i thought your write-ups were excellent, but i moved them to the 'tech discussion' section.
i'm pretty sure we had a discussion on winny, but i can't find it now. perhaps Fuurin will post one?_________________ Use THUMBS UP/DOWN buttons to KEEP or DELETE posts.

Thought I would ask here before I DL any of these...
I spent the better part of this past weekend looking for any Japanese BT sites, and came up with nil - wish I would have seen this thread before then!!
Anyway, do any of you know where I can DL the SPEED RACER series in Japanese ( as MAHA GO GO GO)? The dvd sets are tempting, but are the price of a small used car...
THANKS!!!

| Internet in Japan is cheap and fast so torrents are an inefficient option. Where we can download a 1g file in about 12 seconds, torrents might take an hour or more because of the ration limits.

1GB in 12 seconds? Na-na-na-na-na-na!!! That's faster than serial ATA speeds!
Also, you don't understand the purpose of P2P. P2P was invented to get away from the server/client model, as this model does not work in a court of law when a host is sued for hosting 100-percent of a copyright infringing file. P2P allows for pieces of a file to be scattered throughout the Internet, the idea being that no one person has 100-percent of the file and cannot be caught/sued as a result. Crunchyroll right now is using P2P to stream video so that when the likes of JASRAC come knocking on Shinji's door, he can say that he's not hosting the show.
This is why I'm against using DDLs and similar technologies, as this is a direction heading back towards the server/client model we tried to get away from. It seems that as the new generation of Internet users get hold of these fast speeds, they forget the purpose of the existing technologies and end up reverting back to technologies my dad even once used. Bad scenario of learning the mistakes made in past history.

I seem to understand P2P a lot better than you seeing as how I know p2p isn't just bittorrent. Those tried and true methods that your dad used still remain the most efficient and the safest method. Why deal with ratio caps when you can goto usenet and get it faster? and why deal with the possibility of the mpaa orJASRAC issuing threats to your isp? With usenet, you're not uploading anything.

Well, my Ph.D in Computer Science and my dad who owns several technology patents (AND he took part in the invention of CSMA/CD with Dr. Abrahamson at the U. of Hawaii) trump your reading comprehension. I never mentioned BitTorrent. As for your view of downloading, it all speaks of you being a leech who don't want to share your bandwidth with others. Nice that you care for the rest of us. And who the hell is talking about Usenet? Based on the original question "What is the Japanese using?", they're NOT using Usenet.

"P2P allows for pieces of a file to be scattered throughout the Internet," "P2P was invented to get away from the server/client model" That's really all I have to quote. I'd expect someone with a PHD in compsci to know the history of p2p or at least understand how it works.
You say you didn't mention bittorrent? Name another popular p2p outlet that "allows for pieces of a file to be scattered throughout the Internet" Also, you seem to think this model of p2p is the only model.
Ever since they started teaching java to compsci students, the quality of graduates has been decreasing.
