Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

[CapsuleCorpJX]

For that matter, would it even be possible to distribute it?

Maybe MIRC, but that capacity is limited.

Was bittorrent released after the Naruto anime started?

[bitwar]

I really don't have an answer. Personally, I know I wouldn't have been able to watch this series without it, nor would I have been able to get all the episodes to burn to VCD myself (since my friends got the avis from friends, and I never got my hands on them.

[Rek]

No. It would still be worth it... but the trouble you'd have to go thru would be ridiculous... my connection is 1223k as of right now, and I have had Kazaa running for a few days just for 1 episode. Honestly, 1/2 the Naruto following would be gone, at least... In my opinion.

I got almost all my episodes form a LAN, but I guess he got it from BT , I'm from Norway tho =)

I don't use MIRC and when I began watching Naruto I was still using a flaky 56K connection (now up to cable). With how often my old connection dropped out, I don't think I would've gotten the chance to download one episode. I'm extremely thankful for bittorrent.

Same with me! first ten was from kazaa, some of them were shitty subs, too, untill i realized Toriyama was the best one. Once i found gotwoot, my life was changed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[androshalforc]

yeah it was the same with me i used klite for like the first fifty eps then a friend told me bout got woot and i had like all the episodes within a week

[androshalforc]

speaking of which anyone know when ep 77 is out on the torrents'

[Kagari]

Try not to double post, andro. there's an edit button at the bottom. The torrents will be out when ANBU finsihes subbing, usually friday or saturday. If ya can't wait, bakasan has his now.

[SofaKing]

Kazaa is useless. Not only did it cause my computer no end of problems, but it was incredibly slow. I tried
dl anime off of it once and got NOWHERE.

[DeluxSkillz]

bittorrent has greatly helped distrubuting anime and extremely fast too, the same day or the next you can get the ep that just aired in japan, if not for bittorrent we'd all still be stuck rewatching DBZ every day on CN, it would suck ass since bittorrent appeared my collection of anime has grown dramatically, bittorrent is probably the best way of distrubuting files out there, i downloaded the first 30 eps of naruto using Kazaa on 2 comp's cable connection took me a while but then i found out about bittorrent and quickly turned over

[riftwing]

heh... I don't get any anime from bittorrent. I just use irc.

Norway? more like SNOREWAY!!!!

[simonsays6]

i didn't start on naruto with bt, but i think it undoubtedly helped its popularity...

[Neji-Cof]

i used kazaa up to episode like 62.. no fair.

[Gods_Son]

Bittorrent just makes things easier, I'm sure people would find a way to access it either way.

[sangai]

you guys wanna know where bittorent came from

it was made by a company for mass file delivery between companys, originally ment for business to transfer information it got to the public and became widely distributed

thank you tech tv they featured an episode about bt

[frexeze]

i used to downlaod from my cousin who distributed the tw subs on irc.. but now i go bittorrent all the way [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] thanks anbu aone!

[r3n]

i downloaded the first 25 eps thru iMESH ages ago in about the space of a week. but it is a lot easier getting it thru Bittorrent. when i was at LAN i gave all my naruto eps to as many ppl that wanted it, jst to spread the love [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
