What method do you use mostly to download your anime series?
| What method do you use mostly to download your anime series? Witch one do you think are best or preferable? I am using torrents but it kind of suck when old torrent files sometimes don't have any seeds so I prefer Direct Downloads but when I had fiber-connection File Sharing Programs was good too. XDCC is pretty good to when there is no seedings for old anime when they are available. |

| Torrents and IRC mostly. Usually whatever's available from the fansub group's site. |
 |
| Torrents mostly, for the stuff I can't find I have to resort to megaupload stuff >< |

| i use all of them-nya |
    |
| Absolutely torrents. I'm a major seed whore on BakaBT :3 AnimeTake and NyaaTorrents are where I get all my ongoing series |
 |
| DDL mostly saves on the bandwidth cap, but if I am hard up I will do Torrents |

| Stream. • On-demand (no dl times) • No reliance on seeders (though deleted vids are a problem sometimes) • Doesn't waste precious HD space |

| I use direct downloads unless the series is already done then I just torrent the whole thing ^^ |
 |
| I used mostly torrents, but some of them were pretty slow so I tried finding new way. Then I saw that DLL is always downloaded in full speed and started downloading mostly this method... ^^ |
| Direct Downloading is the way to go |

| DDL, I use IDM and it increases me speed by like 5-10%. I also use mIRC, torrents (slow as hell), and watch streaming :) |
 |
| Mostly DDL, to save my rather limited Hard drive space. |

JadeMatrix said: Stream. • On-demand (no dl times) • No reliance on seeders (though deleted vids are a problem sometimes) • Doesn't waste precious HD space This is no discussion or anything, but here's the reasons why I torrent: - Torrents are released very quickly after the release with airing episodes, and episodes are downloaded within minutes - No better way to use HD space than for anime, imo ^^ - The quality of streaming media is -extremely- low. Only if I'm really pressed will I use those pixelated views ^^ Either way, I'd still resort to downloading media thru MegaUpload or something, than resort to streaming =x Ofc if limited space on your HD is an issue, then streaming is the only way :P |

| Direct Downloads/FTP and sometimes torrents |
| i used Torrents sometimes.....but I usually stream animes |
     I am formerly known as "AnimePrincezz" on MAL, I change my username to "Rinjii", the Japanese name for my real name. |
| torrents tha best. sometimes i use direct when can't find what i want on torrent, but hate it ) |
| Direct Download always. I only get 20gb a month so i don't have bandwidth too seed for torrents. Kvarforth said: DDL only. I've got a Rapidshare Premium Account, that was one of the best investigations of my life. I'm pretty sure you meant investments lol. |
| DDL, sometimes torrents, Lolipower FTW!! |
Go beyond the impossible and kick the reason to the curb!!!  |
| for me it's easier and quicker to use direct downloads except for about four shows i watch that's when i use torrents. I find torrents for take to long to download |
 |
| FSP since both torrents & streaming hate me >.< |

| Use all of them but mostly torrents ^^ |
     |
| I have Mozilla firefox w/add-ons, so when I'm streaming, I use the add-on that downloads playing videos. If that comes out unclear or doesn't work (*COUGH* megavideo *COUGH* veoh), I use direct download from download sites. |
 |
| Usually torrents or direct downloads :3 |
  |
| Torrents usually... Direct downloads very rarely o.O haven't been downloading since a long time tho |
 |
| I stream online. But I used torrents before. |
     |
| Torrents |
| Usally i use torrents. But i also like ftp/DDl if it is fast enough^^ |
 |
| torrent 99%, and also i do it with equal exchange or more ... the stuff that i can not find then IRC ... i hate stream ... |

| Direct Downloads/FTP and Torrents |
| I download using this realplayer add on while I open a stream. I find torrents are wayy too big in size. I would only be able to dl 1-2 anime series with 25+ eps if I torrent, not really worth it IMO. |
