Glad I could help. Maybe I'll download it as well, I only saw it once. I downloaded uTorrent last night because a few people recommended it. Nothing I've tried to download has worked lol. The dialogue at the end randomly switched to Japanese, for some odd reason. I'm asking my friend what they said.

Damn that sucks. A similar thing happened to me when I downloaded the Berserk series. A few were in Japanese with like... German subs.

It was only 2 or 3 lines, & 1 was obviously a general agreement thing, so it wasn't TOO bad, but it did piss me off.

I only download music when it's old, rare, and out of print (or legal), but that's just me. Usually, I use blogs. I've heard both good and bad things about Soulseek.

I've got BitTorrent. Just need somebody to seed the blasted Berry Ween comic I've been downloading for the past two weeks.

The best search engines for torrents in my experience are: 1) btjunkie.org/2) www.mininova.org/They list torrents from multiple sites like pirate bay, demonoid, and many others so it is usually one stop shopping. Both have working site search functions so if your not just looking for the latest/most popular releases you can still find any torrent out there pretty much. Especially in the case of btjunkie all the new hot releases will end up on there within a day of the torrent being released on the private invitation only torrent sites. Personally I just use Vuse to download nowadays, easy, simple, no hiccups, and it has a mutli-site search built in. I have every episode of Northern exposure, Babylon 5, NCIS, Invader Zim, Star Trek, Band of Brothers, etc...etc. Also dozens and dozens of movies...includeing lots of Thomas the tank engine, Wall-E, and Kung-Fu panda type stuff for the young nephews and nieces. BTW lithp that "98% complete then stall" thing seems to be a really common problem as every torrent client has an answer on how to fix that in their F.A.Q.s section. I wouldn't know as it has never happened to me, but perhaps you might want to troubleshoot it once per the directions and solve it rather than throw up your hands and return to virus ridden "limewire". (Ugghh)

Oh...and as an afterthought...if you want to re-code the format from AVI back to a regular DVD (720 x 480) after downloading for disc burning and hate complicated programs get a program called DVDSanta that is also available on the torrent sites. It is simple, quick, extremely user friendly and works perfectly on 95%+ of all downloads. Extremely rarely the soundtrack won't mesh with the video and then you need a more complex program that allows manual correction like vlcplayer to correct the avi file before re-encoding as a DVD.
I've probably burned 400 or so DVDs with DVDSanta and can only recall about seven or eight discs that did not come out perfect when the source file from torrent was any good at all.
