  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    Why would you go through that much effort to torrent Gantz, of all things?

    I felt like trying my hand at a Let's Watch/liveblog, and I figure it'll be easier to liveblog a piece of crap because I can make funnier observations (hopefully). Yes, I don't think it's going to be good.
  • I'm not sure if we've had this thread before, we might have, but I know the feeling of an anime torrent taking forever. Out of curiosity how big is the Gantz torrent in terms of Gigabytes and the average speed you are getting.
  • Has friends besides tanks now
    ^ 5.06 GB, 2 seeds and 7 peers. For the record, it's gone up to 17.4% in fifteen minutes.

    If you're doing a liveblog, I don't see why you can't find a streaming site somewhere and watch it like that. Unless you want to post screenshots or something.

    ^ Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Given what I've heard of this series, there should be some hilariously disgusting images I can provide for humor's sake.
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    Dude, Gantz?

    Ummmm.... my advice is don't.

    That said, I can sometimes end up torrenting for days, though BakaBT is usually really quick.

    Hm. I just realized something because of that: humorous in intent or not, would anyone actually read a liveblog of Gantz? If not, at least that means I can watch Princess Tutu or Ika Musume or something.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    When I torrent a series, I usually torrent a few episodes at a time so that I don't have to wait a whole day or two to start.
  • 5 seasons of Angel. One torrent.

    WHOOH.
  • This is kind of embarassing, but.

    What's torrenting?
  • I DON'T KNOW :D

    It's illegal downloady program.
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    It's when it rains and the water forms currents in the terrain
  • Also this song starts playing in my head every time someone mentions The Pirate Bay.

  • You can change. You can.
    Use Jdownloader.
  • It took me about two months to torrent Digimon TT_TT
  • 0_0 Which seasons 
  • All of them, except Xros Wars.
  • I could see how that could take two months to torrent.
  • -Nods-

    And to be fair, I did stop it for like 3 weeks because I was visiting my grandparents in England and didn't want to gobble their bandwidth.

    It did, and it was completely filler.

    35.7% . . . gettin' theeeeerrrre . . .
  • Dude just read the manga. It's like, over 9000% better.

    If the whole thing is filler, then nothing is.
  • ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    9000%

    ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    It sounds like it is taking ages mainly due to the low amount of people sharing it.
    Perhaps if you tried a more popular/mainstream Series it would be faster.
  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    Yeah, I've managed to get FMA (Brotherhood) up to 20% in an hour.
  • But you never had any to begin with.
    And this is why you prioritise your files.

    "Dude just read the manga. It's like, over 9000% better."

    But that's WAY longer than I'm willing to spend reading any manga that I haven't already caught up on.
