Want to download Anime or Dramas, Where do I start?

So after hearing me talk on and on about anime and dramas you got interested!.. I feel I’ve touched your life..
Now let me explain myself and my choices:
I have a lousy internet connection, download about 15 kb/sec in it’s utmost, of course we are paying for an internet connection that is 512kb/sec but we get a lousy 50kb/sec and sometimes 100kb during bandwidth limit, which lasts about four days tops, why you ask? we have three computers sharing that connection with the most “hungry for download users” >>Now you understand..

So here are my choices:

1. Direct download during bandwidth (do that if you have a good satisfying speed)

Tips you’ll need:
First, forget about downloading with IE (Internet Explore), Why you ask?
It’s unstable, can you imagine getting your download up to 95 and then BOOM! Nothing in the screen? GET Firefox, the fastest most reliable internet browser, I’ve tried others but nothing sticks but firefox .
It has Add-ons & themes go to the website and ADD THEM, I recommend “video download helper” for downloading videos from youtube or google video. ENJOY!
Plus, it gets updated regularly and works on Linux & Windows & Mac OS X and available in many languages.
Also some people may recommend using download helpers like Internet download manger, Download Accelerator plus and so on, go ahead if you want but listen, most download of anime and dramas –direct ones- are on upload sites which cannot allow you to use such software.
Also I’ll add some sites I recommend you to visit LATER

2. Peer-to-Peer downloads (indirect):

This one takes a longer time depending on the people who have the file (also called seeders –u see them marked as S-)
Now let me explain the process: you have an application (also called client) this client is like a messenger, it takes the name of the file and lets you download it from people who finished downloading it (seeders) and others who are downloading it like your self (Leechers) so in other words her is the process simplified:
1. Get your self a client (program) (install it): Windows users can use utorrent, Linux user ktorrent.
2. Go to a site to download torrent files: I recommend Mininova, Isohunt
Or you can visit trackers of subbing groups (I’ll add some sites LATER)
3. Open the .torrent file with the client (application) through double clicking on it or go to the client >File> Open
Now Why should you download through this?
It is because it is fast (depending on the seeders), you can find books interesting to read or programs to download, all you need to do is keep the program open as long as you could (and try to apply a limit to allow for internet browsing).
For me my ktorrent is running most of the time sometimes from morning till night, others to several days.
Remember this option is about Sharing your downloads so don’t download and delete or close the application (help others download please T-T)

3. This is the fun part, the one I like, find your self a friend and share your downloads

You can download A anime while your friend downloads B anime and then burn it and swap your download.
The FUN comes after when you DISCUSS the anime after you watch it…
And REMMEBER TO CHOOSE CAREFULLY.. Because there are always those superficial who will laugh at you >> and those as one said are not even friends
“A friend supports and encourages you and accepts you diversity”
And for any friends reading this… I will share my downloads with you unconditionally…
