    RE: Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

    Before bit torrent came along I just d/l all my anime off news groups (which is really fast depending on your isp)

    News groups are a great source for anything, its just the retention of the news group server you have access to (Free ISP ones usually have like 3 days, you can pay for ones that store over a months worth of information)

    I think naruto would have still been popular without BT.. cause theres alot of ppl in mIRC too that watches it. Even before BT, IRC has been distroing to alot of people so it shouldnt effect anything. Just maybe the lazy ppl who dont bother to learn to use IRC =)

    My first ep was like...40-something...then I decided to gather an archive (this was before NinjaBot, way back before even Hisoka f00s) and I was leeching the older eps from a guy named sumipan...then...suddenly I was caught up...amazing, ne?

    I downloaded the first 10 eps on Kazaa, like some of you and then i discovered BT and Gotwoot.
    That was a good moment.

    Actually... For you knowledge most everything released is released to either newsgroups or FTPs.... So bittorrent is only for those without access to such things. Check with your ISP to see if they offer newsgroups and if they do get the info and check out the alt.bianaries.anime ^_^ FTPs you just have to have the knowledge of ^_^ Hope this helps a little...

    BitTorrent doesnt seem to work for me...I guess the eps are in MPEG 4 format...which I can't figure out how to play so I usually dl them when theyre in windows media player format somewhere. Anyone know a place that explains how to play those MPEG 4 videos?

    RE: Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

    Back in the day before Bittorrent I used to download anime off IRC and newsgroups. Newsgroups being my first choice as they usually had the ep I wanted an hour or so after it was released and I could download at my max download speed off my ISP's news servers. I only went on IRC as a last resort because waiting in line on an XDCC bot always sucked.

    Now time for alittle history....
    Naruto started being subbed before Bittorrent became popular. When AonE/ANBU started subbing Naruto Gotwoot was there with a XDCC bot named 'AonE|Ciber' for those of you that may remember. Then I found out about bittorrent when it was just pretty much released and I setup a tracker and it went from there. Anime played a big part in making torrents as popular as they are now.

    Go to this site;they have lots of codecs and players there, and you can view mpeg 4 stuff with them.


    I am lucky: At episode 66, my friend introduced me to Naruto...he gave me all of the episodes on dvds, and he even mentioned this website. I believe he started late as well, and that he used BitTorrent for his episodes as I do now.

    That's right, BitTorrent was written by one person, no company. Brian is a leading software engineer in the field of distributed transactions and peer-2-peer networking. It was made mainly because it could be done and he saw the main purposes for small community based linux distributions and other non-profit organizations that have to cope with a lot of expensive traffic.

    He is in no way fond of suprnova and all that stuff.

    Maybe TechTV should think about some changes in their personal.

    Actually... for your knowledge most everything released is released to irc. After all, AonE (the subbers for naruto obviously) is an irc channel after all.

    Yea but how do you think those people get it in the first place? FTP's my friend. I know from experience (Gotwoot hosts a FTP dump for AonE). Heres how it works...

    First the raw is uploaded to Gotwoot and it is downloaded by the translators.
    Next the subtitle sheet is uploaded and then the encoders download it and the raw and encode it.
    Next the encoded episode is uploaded to Gotwoot and then it is passed out to the QCer's.
    Next if it passes the QC it is put into distro via FTP/XDCC (we usually use XDCC as it is alittle easier, sometimes FXP is used).
    Once all the distro people have the file it is then released.

    RE: Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

    i joined the game really late on Naruto, i got the first 20 from a friend, then found the rest up to 60 on eMule through sharereactor, which is gone now, so now i get them from Anbudom in IRC... eMule took a long time, but not as bad as Kazza would have made it.

    Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

    i think ANIME in general wouldn't be as popular, if it were distro'd exclusively through IRC. just the sheer number of bytes that BT pushes through the internet would totally cripple an IRC distro, or generate very long queues, at best.

    Naruto is just the tip of the iceburg.

    Would Naruto be as popular in the states without bittorrent?

    Yeah, i got my first 20 episodes of emule and direct connecct.

    Naruto is very easy to get hold of.
