Whats with all the broken Mirrors?

[Lymsleia]

Ive been trying to watch some anime's from the beginning Gintama, Fairy Tails, and even Bleach. Every single mirror and download link for these animes seem to be removed due to copyright infringement except for youku. It seems like these places have either been sued or wish to drive off all of their users by dumbing down theyre services to a youtube standard. Now i applaud Youku for keeping their game going however theyre loading speeds are ridiculously slow. I can spend an hour or more trying to load a single episode and i have a decent connection that has peaked out at 1 megabyte per second downloads. So i was wondering. Maybe its time we all go on a hunt and try to find some new sites that will host videos for us without throwing out all this anime gold? Anyone on board with this idea?

We actually have some sites we're discussing about right now in our stream link adders group.

We currently use Youko (VW) because it has a very open policy on anime, doesn't check our links and our links are private.

However, many people use Youko (VW) right now, which means Youko's site needs to handle all of the uploads and the streaming.

Also, I myself for example can;t upload elsewhere due to a Flash problem. But ya, as I said, we'll be trying out new hosts every now and again. ^^

Lol all the shows you mentioned are "trouble shows" which means that they are active are breaking them. Fairy tail so far has been fully fixed, use either OV or "Youko" which are the most reliable, and then for gintama use Youku, and same with bleach. That way you can watch them completely. We're running to scan to delete all the broken links.

Allright thank you Mavi. I think i was a little flustered when i saw so much broken all at once and i wanted to try and throw in some constructive ideas to this wonderful community.

Youku tends to work. Its just theyre speed is painfully slow. So slow itd probably be quicker to download a few episodes in HD at a time. Its a personal dislike since the service isnt very good.

I just start them .. leave them for few minutes to buffer then come back later
