Absolutely amazing. I suggest starting with my favorites, which are Lost, Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis, Neon Genesis Evangellion, Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. Lots of movies, and really random things too.

This site could eat your life. biggrin.gif

With a firefox plugin, I've been downloading heroes episodes to watch with this handy flv viewer that I downloaded. smile.gif

Be careful what you watch there. I have seen new to theaters movies on that site and it wouldn't be fun to have the Movie industry breathing down your neck for watching it instead of going to the theater.

Yeah, I saw spidey 3 and 300 on there. Would rather see them in theaters, or at least on DVD so I can enjoy the better quality picture and sound, so I don't want to know what happens before I go smile.gif

That's a new experience, usually I watch anime with English subtitles. I just watched the first 2 minutes of the first Babylon5 episode with Japanese subtitles. roflmao.gif

That is loading painfully slow though, maybe 1 hour to watch 2 minutes. I can't imagine why, unless the site hosting that set just sucks that much.

Enjoy it, wont last long. Last I heard about it, the English government is already moving to shut it down, mainly from pressure from the movie studios. Of course, I have no idea how effective the English actually are, and if this guy is hosting this site from another country, and just using an English host... I imagine it will be back soon enough.

Meh, the anime subtitling isn't all that great. There's a -world- of differences between the translations of their eps of Death Note (OMG YAY) and the one I got off bittorrent. The bittorrent one is much better.

They can breathe down my neck all I want, as far as I know, they can't get me for viewing content, I'm not downloading any of it. smile.gif It's like someone posting something copywritten on YouTube, and not only does YouTube get a takedown notice, but they pull the IP of everyone that watched it and nail them too.

Some things load far faster than I watch them, and some are painfully slow. They come from multiple sources, see the FAQ on their forum.

The way it works is the site simply provides links to hosted content. They may be kind of encouraging the behavior, but they're not actually hosting it, just pointing a big finger at it.

Depends on wherever it's being hosting, or who upload it it, etc. I've seen varying degrees of quality.

I can watch the episodes of Stargate that were on TV, that I missed, because I was watching the seasons on DVD (I have the first 9 of SG1 and 2 of Atlantis), and by the time the current season is out, the next one would be on TV, and, and... Well, now I can catch up, so that I can watch Stargate on TV each week, 10 years into it.

Actually, it depends more on who did the translation....
