Ok picture this scenario.....
You get home from a hard day at (whatever u get up to that makes you busy) and want to settle in front of the computer screen to read one of your favourite mangas when you notice, 'Hey! iv'e nearly finished this series, i better start another one ASAP!'. So you go into a chat room to see what other people are reading and think to yourself, that may be a good manga. So you get your references and website names and start to proceed with there instructions. You go to the first site on the list and head straight for the manga download page.....
You start the download.
Next minute your taken to another page saying you have to be a member, so you register then download again straight away. It then transfers ou to what looks like the same page but different writing and says 'sorry this page is only available to our Platinum members. You only pay $100 a month to be a Gold member or you could only pay as little as $500 to be a platinum''. Feeling really pissed off about this you go to another website on the list. When there you go to the manga download page and once again you start the download... the downloading box pops up and it reads 'dowloading 18 megs - 0.002% done, downloading at 0.12321 bits'. you close the link and look back at the page where it shows 50 mirrors of the same file, you click the file number 43 and, yet again, you start the download. Then it says 'you have to wait another 10 minutes b4 you can download again'. Furious at all this time wasting (when you can be cozy reading one of the newly recommended manga) you switch to another site that was suggested. Your at the second last site suggested with somewhat high hopes but low faith. you yet again go to the manga downloads page, but there was something strange about this website. It didnt have a manga dowloads page. you look around the site to find somethings called 'xdcc botlistings' or 'Download mIRC' to recive manga. With little hope at all you go to the next (and last) website on the list, you search through and go to the manga dl page and click on mirror 1.......
You Brace yourself
It worked!! it actually worked!.............but then you notice something...... file itself wasnt a zip or a rar file but something called 'zipadidooda' which sure as hell wasnt a file that i could open without the archiver. you open a new page and log on to a search engine and search 'zipadidooda'.....wait 2 seconds and a message saying 'there are currently no files listed under your search' appears. You yell at the top of your voice and decide just to read one of the manga's that you have already read.
Ok that was a little farfetched but you should get the idea, following are some of my most hated errors:
-You must be a member
-We no longer host that file
- [You download a chapter by voloume and find that inside are several pages that are named 01 and 5 pages labelled 18]
-Different file archiver eg. rar zip ace etc
-Getting banned from a website bcoz you bashed them too much
-Adds popping up left right and center
-You must be a paying member
-Only certain people are allowed in this area
and the list goes on................
So....... any one can just post what they hate about downloading manga and what are the most frustrating things involved.......
