Share, Winny, WinMX is very difficult to use. :dizzy: . They're not simple like torrent and eMule.
Searching some stuff on Share must via few steps, not like torrent or eMule, just search on Google or tracker, and get torrent files. And you better know Japanese language to use Share

It seems like Japanese people dont want to use torrent protocol ?? :death:

I only know a tracker of JP music: jpopsuki . Maybe it's only on tracker of JP people

I believe I heard somewhere that torrent protocols in JP are being monitored in a different way than in the west and they do have some of the toughest copy laws in the world.

Because of this they perhaps are reluctant to go all out on a relatively simple and public manner.

There is an application in the games sections here that can translate game screens from bitmaps. Maybe you can try that on screen caps/dumps to BMP files of the program you are having problem with.

I have not tried it myself but it sounds reasonable that if that application can ocr translate kanji on the screen it should possibly do it in other file formats too. Not sure though but perhaps worth a try. Remember "Need is the mother of all inventions".

Uhm, i use Share with English interface, but i'm still feel hardly to use it. To search some stuff on Share, i have to choose Cluster (keyword), choose nodes(similar to tracker in torrent), refresh nodes ( dont know why have to refresh, just follow tutorials) and search. After had search result, i dont know where to click download button, dont know to see something like ratio in torrent.
And the result usually in JP language, so i understand nothing.

When i download torrent, i still see many IPs from JP. And most of torrent apps can encrypt connections to make ISPs dont know you're using torrent. Why JP dont use simple P2P like torrent

All these programs were developed by japanese people, and meant to be used by them only. Now there is some english interface, but all the files are still written with kanjis, what do you expect ? There is no reasons to make things easy for western Gaijin (foreigners), they are not welcome in fact.

And no, they are not like Emule or a torrent client. Everything is made more difficult (anonymity, hash system) to avoid the japanese authorities to catch people sharing "illegal" material.

For your particular problems, why don't you read the nice Share FAQ already existing here:

http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10738

Normally if you right-click on a search result, there should be an option called something like "add to download" and the file would show up on the Downloads tab.

Japanese will not use torrents to upload files, because this too easy to get caught by their police. Downloading takes less risk since they are not completely "actively" propagating potentially illegal files according to japanese laws, at least they are not the primary uploaders.

You don't seem to realize that things coming from Japan like anime, JAV or J-music are obviously licensed in the land of the rising sun...

And sorry for additional question: i'm using dynamic IP, can i use Share with dynamic IP or Share only accept static IP ?

I also use Share with the english interface and it's not that hard. On top of that the download speeds are great and pretty much everything seems to be available over time.

Why do you change the clusters and nodes? Just use some common words for cluster and you should be fine (don't change them all the time). You only have to add nodes once when you install the program.

@Milligram: Can you show me your cluster words ?

I will use Share to download J-drama, movie and music. No need porn with Share. Akiba is enough for me :exhausted:
