Tips & Warnings
Check your firewall connection if you are experiencing slow performance with your BitTorrent program. Most BitTorrent clients have a status light, which will indicate your connection status: blue or green mean you have a successful connection, while yellow means that you are being blocked by a firewall. To correct this, change your incoming/outgoing ports to 403 and 6969 in your Internet control panel (Windows) or your system preferences (Mac).
Licensed or copyrighted anime materials are illegal to download. While there is not widespread conviction of online anime piracy, you can be fined or even jailed for this crime.
If you have a slower DSL, dial up or cable modem connection, try using a BitTorrent experimental download client such as Azereus to decrease the file size.
