I tried using it a few years ago. If you're looking for idol material, there was surprisingly little of it to be found,
at least back then. I found exactly one iso, and very little else.

There is a vast amount of idol material on PD. I've been using it for years, it's always been that way.

You can find stuff easily by searching for release codes, e.g. EBOD or IMOB.

Are there tutorials on how to use PD ? I've literally just discovered it . Is it similar to DC++?

PD is an anonymous P2P app. There are English guides (google) but basically download and unpack the English version, open a port in your firewall/router for it and dedicated 100GB or more to the unity cache thing. Then start setting up search terms on the search tab and downloading.

Use studio codes, names and generic stuff like "U-15" for searching. You can also enter parts of words like "199" for anything with 199x in the name. You can nest searches as well, which is handy because some terms will hit the limit of 1000 results. It takes time for results to come in, so you can leave it for a few hours to build up if you don't find what you want at first.

In the results there is a number that starts at 1. Over 1 is good reviews, under 1 is bad reviews. Fake files get bad reviews. Beware of archives like .rar, they are often password protected. Stick to .avi and .mpg.

Just be careful, there is some dodgy stuff on there as well as the vast majority of good stuff. It's also good for AV, random TV shows and particularly older stuff. There are loads of old VHS rip IVs, for example (which tend to be fully nude and uncensored so check thet are 18+ before downloading).

PD downloads relatively slowly. To be anonymous it actually downloads random stuff into the cache just for sending on to other people. Be patient, you need to leave it running for many hours at least, days preferably. If you find interesting stuff you can post the hash codes here for others to get. I recently finished grabbing some Nozomi stuff I need to check and maybe post if I find the time, but it's hard to keep track of what is already up on AO.

I have also been using PD for years. You can follow any one of the English guides to get it running, and definitely set it up with the English UI. But you will have a hard time figuring out what most of the files are unless you can read a little Japanese. One non-obvious trick is to select a file, then you can copy its text from the "address bar" kind of thing at the top.

The key to running PD is to open a port on the firewall, give it 100+GB of storage for its own use, and then leave it always running. Always. You can set up a list of searches (actually a tree of searches, with nesting logic) and they will retrieve results over the span of *days*, then you double click on the stuff you might be interested in and some of them will be downloaded, over the span of *weeks*. It's a long-term thing, but it works. A few years ago I downloaded a bunch of Asami Kubota videos (see avatar) that would be impossible to find anywhere else. In fact I should find the hard disk and post them on here lol!

Thanks man,:) you might have convinced me to give PD another try (i couldn't get it work last time) , but before I delve into it is it easy finding some juicy U15 stuff in there? If it's mostly JAV I might as well keep using sukebei, akiba and discord

There is a massive amount of U15 stuff on there, a lot of it not available on AO for various reasons.

If you don't read Japanese you can select multiple files and copy the metadata for them then paste it in to Google Translate or whatever. The trick is to find a few keywords for the stuff you are interested in. Actress names, studio codes like ICDV, VHS for VHS rips etc. In Japanese of course.

Yes, it's a treasure trove of U15 stuff. There's also a ton of very illegal stuff, which you should obviously steer away from.

If there is a router at home, then you need to open the port from the Perfect Dark settings in the router settings.

Yes, you must open the port or it won't work. Look in the settings to see what port it is. Open TCP and UDP.

The search function isn't like other apps. You set up keywords and then wait and they slowly fill up. With popular stuff you get a load in quickly, otherwise you might wait a long time. Maximum 1000 results so combine search terms to narrow down.

aww darn it, so there's no way to make it work on a public hotspot or wifi without having access to the router? :(

Maybe with UPnP. Or you can use a VPN. Mullvad is only 5 euro/month and you can open ports.

Or just ask your neighbour to kindly open a port for you...

I'll kindly ask my neighbors to use their router to download hardcore japanese cum porn and daring U15 DVDs, i'm sure they'll be thrilled :D
