LINK TO PACK LIST

DL method: IRC only

Stumbled upon this today while I was looking to grab the latest release of Parfait Tic!!! (thank you ShoujoMagic!) (<3 Parfait Tic xD)

This xdcc bot offers releases from various groups, including MangaProject, ShoujoMagic, Manga-Koekje, SnoopyCool, Aku-Tenshi, AnimeWaves, Be With You Scans, Da Gurlz Translations, etc. etc. Let me just say, LOTS of groups :D

Anyway, just head over to the packlist to check out what this bot has exactly. It resides on the IRCHighway server, in various channels. Not sure if the bot is on any other server, but IRCHighway is your safest bet since that’s where most scanlation groups have their channels ;)

AnimeWaves

LINK TO IRC CHANNEL (#animewaves @ irc.rizon.net)

DL method: IRC, Bittorrent, DDL

This group is not a fansub group, but a scanlation group. They are one of the groups who scanlated Ichigo 100%, though I didn’t read it. I did watch the anime, which wasn’t that great :\ The manga is probably much better, but I wouldn’t know, lol.

… Got off-topic, back to topic now. Their bot doesn’t have a lot, but it contains all their latest releases. They also distro via BT and HTTP. I ask that you avoid downloading via HTTP, because this method of distro costs a lot more than IRC or BT! That is why I am still debating whether to post about DDL sources…

*ahem* Back to topic (again). If you looking to download their older releases, simply check out their projects page, then find the title you are searching for. Usually, there will be a BT and/or HTTP link beside each chapter or volume, unless the title has been licensed or something.

Manga Jouhou

Filed under: manga, Info Databases, Bittorrent — = kiwiish = @ 12:48 am

LINK TO SITE

DL method: some Bittorrent.

A site dedicated to manga news and releases. It is like AnimeSuki but it’s for manga, and it’s got manga news as well. Bittorrent links are offered where available.

If you use Firefox, you can add the site as a live bookmark if you want to check for new releases without going to the site.

Baka-Updates

Filed under: manga, anime, DDL, Info Databases, Bittorrent — = kiwiish = @ 12:22 am

LINK TO SITE (ANIME)
LINK TO SITE (MANGA)

DL method: mostly Bittorrent for anime; various for manga.

Baka-Updates provides information on new releases, as well as general anime/manga news. I personally don’t use this site since I found other sites before this one that gives me pretty much the same info. However, it is another source of info, and you might prefer the navigation or layout of this site more than others.

They also have two irc channel (one for anime and one for manga). I believe you can get news via the channels instead of the site, and new releases may be submitted there as well. Please check out the FAQ on their site or go to the channel itself for more info on this.

LINK TO SITE

DL method: Bittorrent only.

Heaven for anime fans =P Many titles can be found here, in completion. A while ago, they changed their policy to allow incomplete series to be posted. I guess the purpose was for long series, and people can post complete seasons on there. Complete series are marked with a “C”, though it doesn’t look much like a “C”, if you ask me. Multiaudio torrents are marked with an “M”. Usually, these are Japanese and English audio. You can always check by viewing the info on the torrent, or perhaps going through the comments pertaining to that torrent. Aside from anime, there’s also manga, OSTs, and live action stuff.

About registration on this site: you don’t have to register to download from Boxtorrents, but things like the search function and the ability to post comments will not be available to you. To look for stuff, you can still use the browse function.

This site can be overwhelming at first, so please look over their FAQ on the main site, as well as the forums. This thread might be useful: “Ultimate Box FAQ”.

There are also other guides to help you with downloading and viewing files in general, which could help you with downloading from other sites via BT. From the main site, go to Forums > FAQ/Guides, and browse through the stickies.

Warning: Hentai is present on this site. Consult the “Ultimate Box FAQ” (link above) if you are looking for this.
