    Will do, give me some time to see if it starts downloading. It's not that Mizuho isn't "popular", she still has a lot of fans. The only thing is that she's not U-15 anymore, and the U-15 scene is pretty small to begin with. If she can break into mainstream she can make a comeback, but if not...

    Share FAQ

    I decided to test the following file: (IV) 多田瑞穂「Operation」(xvid+mp3).avi 1,059,605,328 316b42cb790daeba53c587d894563d8d3c465fda It's relatively new, but unfortunately the file is not doing well on Share. There is only one source available, and just like you, I am consistently getting...

    Share FAQ

    This was a question over in a different thread, but since it's technical I'm putting it here. I'll try to explain it as concisely as I can. Both Share and torrents work with "swarms" of peers. With Share, when a file is first uploaded, it is split up and distributed to many peers (even if...

    If you're trying to download Share plugins, also add TESTER_WORKS to your clusters list. What files are you downloading? If they're pretty old, you might just be out of luck. You can try searching for something random, small and new (and with a lot of availability), and see if you're still...

    Share FAQ

    Yes, Share can give some incredible speeds. On brand new files, I usually get about 800KB/s. One of my friends is able to get as high as 2MB/s with his FTTH connection. The difference is because Share opens up fewer connections but each with more bandwidth, rather than bittorrent which opens up...

    Becoming A Japanese Citizen

    Perhaps a different way of talking about the conflicting "reviews" of Japan can be summed up like this: You want to go to Japan. - If you do it right way, it can be the most amazing place/experience. And for many people, it is. - If you do it wrong way, it can be a living hell. And for many...

    Becoming A Japanese Citizen

    I'm going to try to not get mixed up in the drama, just put down a few of my thoughts. Getting Japanese citizenship is not impossible, but it's a very trying process and in most regards isn't really worth it. Practically, the only thing you might get from holding a Japanese passport is going...

    Sharing question from a Linux user

    If you want to download from the Share network, you'll need to run a virtualized instance of Windows (try VirtualBox). If you want to share some of your files here, the best way is to just use bittorrent. Most users here use torrents anyway; the only time members use Share is to get files...

    learning Japanese?

    During my time in Kansai, there were a fair amount of Japanese who had some rudimentary control of English, although not enough that someone without the ability to speak at least some Japanese could survive without any problems -- no matter where you go you'll undoubtedly face some amount of...

    Share FAQ

    Correct. There isn't a standard/consistent way of writing the units, but kbps usually means kilobits, and kB/s usually means kilobytes. 8 bits to 1 byte means 1215kbps = 151kB/s.

    Any port will be fine, provided it isn't being used by another program and isn't being blocked by your ISP. Usually a port in the upper range (20000 or above) is good. Once you pick a port, you will need to make sure Windows Firewall is allowing it to pass through. If you configured the...

    Require membership to download torrent files

    The people who enjoy the torrents are the people who download them in the first place. And believe me, they do appreciate it, even if it goes unspoken. To put it in other terms: if 50 members and 50 non-members download your torrent and only 5 members click Thanks, you get your figure of 5%...

    Require membership to download torrent files

    I'd be willing to bet that most of torrent files here are reposts from other sites (especially the vast majority of the JAV torrents). For those, hit and run doesn't really matter because the torrents are already well-seeded from other trackers, and if they don't leech from here they'll leech...

    70% of Japanese inns without foreign guests wish to keep it that way

    The ryokan owners for the most part aren't being outright discriminatory even though the polling makes it appear that way. I'm sure if you were a shop owner in an area where some teenagers had a reputation of having bad behavior, you would be weary about allowing them in. The problem here is...

    Share FAQ

    Transmission Error is when the incoming connection gets dropped. The data isn't lost, but since Share downloads in 1MB blocks, the download percentage and "completed / total" Size information only updates as whole blocks are completed. In other words, even if you get a Transmission Error...

    crack DRM...

    Unfortunately (to the best of my knowledge) no one has cracked Microsoft's Windows Media DRM. The only methods I know of (FairUse4WM, FreeMe2, etc) exploit a loophole in WMP9 that allows someone with the correct license to decrypt a media file as is normally done for playback, but dump the...

    crack DRM...

    If you have the license, it's easy to remove DRM (provided you have WMP9; WMP11 does not work). If you don't have the license anymore, you're more or less out of luck.

    Crashed? Overloaded? Unstable? WTF?

    Phenom 9850 is quite power-hungry; go into BIOS and make sure your vCore is set high enough within the 9850's spec. Also, double check you have a BIOS version that supports the 9850 (search Gigabyte forums for troubleshooting and update if necessary). Same goes for mem voltage, as mentioned...

    why do some jav have uncensored?

    There might be a market, but it would be a small market, and it wouldn't be worth the extra cost.

    help in buying magazines in japan
