I believe JavBus is fake as well.

@lordsuperjesus shared this video which @Mari0Br0s pointed out was fake (wrong video) which I can also confirm.

Curiosity got the best of me and so I tried downloading this video which also turned out to be fake, the video downloaded was completely different from the description.

I've never downloaded from this site before but other reputable users claim success using it in the past so I assumed it was legit. Something very fishy is going on here... :rokok:

It seems they are loading the torrent information from elsewhere without checking the source. Like Mari0Br0s said, always look out for screenshots.

Hello
I try to download HONE-168 ( Nanami Hisa ) . Most Sites do not have it,
The ones that have it are all with a wrong movie in it.Is there any ban on it ?

JAV Bus is more of a database anyway. I use them and their countless clones. It being the wrong movie happens in the rare instance where the dvd codes are similar like "ABC-001" and "ABC-1" Most sites think that's the same movie

Hippy: DUGA's as legit as DMM. I think their site has a better design but that's subjective. A major plus is not all their movies have DRM. Some makers opt for DRM-Free.

I may have mentioned this before(sorry), but it seems most of these sites if not all, use Depfile as a file host. The giveaway is when you download a movie on these sites, the download has a different name than the code number given the movie by the studio. When done downloading, you get a completely different movie. But as Ace69 pointed out, the biggest give away is a movie that no one else has. I'm embarrassed to say, that I have fallen for this several times.

Experience someone from javhard.net?
Suspicious because storage space used depfile .... It is feared that the downloaded film is not the same as advertised movie.

Usually the name of the file is different from what you expect,
For instance, you looking for video IPZ-100
on the fake website, the title of the page is ipz-100 but when you click the link,
the file name is maybe VIDEO-3912_Z or something like that instead of IPZ-100

I dont understand, why anyone would make fake jav sites?
For what? So that the victim buy the filehost premium account?
Is that the only reason?
