Downloading

How do I download?

Ask the Oracle.

In case the Oracle is not in, there are generally 4 sources: from IRC, Bittorrent trackers, filehosts, and eMule.

• To download using IRC, you need an IRC client. A quick guide to downlaoding using IRC can be found here and here.

• To download via Bittorent, you need a bittorrent client.

• To download from filehosts or direct-download sites, you first have to find one (this is where you're on your own).

• To download using eMule, you need the eMule client.

Where do I download from?

Ask the Oracle.

In case the Oracle is not in, there are generally 4 sources:

• Public trackers (i.e. TT)

• Private trackers (require registration) and semi-private trackers

• Distro IRC bots, which you can usually find in the fansub group's IRC channel (if you don't know where, ask AniDB)

• Direct-download websites (find your own)

• (You're on your own for eMule, unless someone updates/edits this part)
