answer to two comments...
1) when using cabos you can go to preferences and select the language preference for your search results, pick japanese if you want to find japanese files.
the obvious problem here is that you have to be able to read japanese to make sense of the files.
fortunately many japanese users also include english titles alongside the japanese, but usually only for very popular titles, e.g. hollywood blockbusters, etc.
so if you're looking for some obscure movie or file this won't help. but if you want to download a recent major release, do a search with the title in english and scroll down untill you see one with japanese characters as well. you get dramatically higher download rates.
2)regarding the comment about the download speed of 200 kb being laughable..... well based on my experience with bittorents and other p2p's while in korea, i haven't consistenctly been able to get rates higher than that.
sure when i catch a torrent that recently came out and have lots of seeds, i can occassionally get upto 600kb/sec, but in my experience this has been rare.
i don't think it's my bandwdith, because if i download from a single source that also has broadband than i can easily get into the mb range.
however with the p2p's and using a mac, i found that my download rate is going to be limited by the upload rates of the other users. since i share with mostly us-based users rates tend to hover around 100kb average per file.
the good thing though is that i can simultaneously download 8-10 files at that rate. so overall i'm downloading mb/sec but not for each file.
if you're getting much higher rates from a mac, while in korea, and downloading from us-based p2p's, please share what you know. |
there is no prefs for language in cabos... |
