If ddl uploaders really cared about sharing they would have been uploading to usenet. Instead all they ever cared about was getting downloads and turning that into money. I won't be missing most of these ddl sites and hope it spurs real sharing going forward.
For uploaders, file lockers were always a means to an end, whether it was to share the fun, or to make money. Anyone who understood what the lockers were doing should have known that their time to operate freely was limited, & that this result would come around.
Freenet is horrible, theres a reason it's not popular after so many year, Share and Perfectdark are successful implementations of Freenet in p2p, its maybe the future.
uploaded.to banned some countries, including where I live.
I noticed recently that uploaded.to is not the only one blocking specific countries. I would only hope the uploaders making their choices would also choose to ban these filehosts as retaliation to this blatant discrimination.
I noticed other forums are restricting all recent posts to specific file hosting sites that they have pre-approved for this and several other good reasons. I think we should do the same. Make the announcement that those file hosts that are restricting specific countries be banned from Akiba.
Anyone else agree on this?
I agree with you in principle, but I hate to punish downloaders in other countries just because I live in America and so many posters are now using upload.to, which is blocked for me. I have a nice collection of JAV and I am getting old. If all access to JAV downloads stops, I will remain grateful for what I have. We do, however, need some international agreement which allows Americans to purchase legal factory copies of Japanese adult videos. Now, even if I wanted to pay full price for the latest Rei Mizuna video, Japan will not let retailers there ship the video to me. Now THAT is NOT fair.
Senior Idol
BTW, today another of my favorite JAV sites dropped Wupload, which I can get in the US, and now has only three file hosts, TWO of which do not accept US customers any more.
Here's an idea . ACTUALLY BUY JAV DVDS !!!!! if you want them. cause isn't that how it's supposed to be. You and many are too spoiled cause have been downloading for free all this time.
well guess what budy . JAV Producers want money for their work.

If your so rightously offended about someone here for JAV and the possiblity of D/L a video that you have to shout, "ACTUALLY BUY JAV DVDS !!!!!" may I ask what are you doing here?!?!
SeniorIdol..I also lost the last supplier about 2 yrs ago and it was usenet and torrents that allowed my to continue to add to my collection, so I feel your pain.
Sorry for the rant but JOSLOP(yes I know I misspelled this) was acting like an ass and it has been a rough couple of weeks for us all.
what i dont get is why not just get FLV jav

Once again, FLV != quality

Wiki says this:
# On 1 January 2010 a stricter copyright law went into effect in Japan that rendered the intentional unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material illegal, even if only for private use. Japanese authorities have not arrested any downloaders as yet, but have arrested a number of people accused of uploading copyrighted material.
# A Perfect Dark user was arrested for the first time on 27 January 2010. The user had been uploading and sharing one episode of the Japanese animation TV series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood with Perfect Dark, and was charged with breach of copyright law.[4]
# On 10 June 2010, a second user, a 43-year-old man, was arrested on the suspicion of uploading about one thousand copyrighted files, in particular, the Big Windup! anime series.[5]
# On 8 October 2010, a 42-year-old woman was arrested for uploading the Mitsudomoe TV anime series.
So, unless it has gotten more stealthy since 2010, it doesn't seem that great to me. But, there has to be something somewhere that will work.
Heh, it amazes me that people actually download FLV's when they look like garbage.

Last time I fired up Share and Perfectdark this summer there was naught but shite on there, at least for genre stuff. Very few new releases. Maybe it is still good for some things but there were some seriously old vids that were on Winny the first time I used it! Different now?
