Five Star Stories book 2 - english - Optical Tai Fon
Not my torrent. A kind soul has taken the effort of scanning US books 4 & 5 (japanese book 2) of Five Star Stories:

http://www.datorrents.com/torrent/38254-the-five-star-stories-book-2/

I hope this does not end here, and more people decides to scan their books for everybody to enjoy, as it's horribly diffucult to find the originals

It's still running in Newtype as far as I know (JP version, not US)

If you get the whole english set scanned, please put it up on BoxTorrents (www.boxtorrents.com) since that site specializes in complete sets. By complete set, that means if the company gave up on adapting future volumes of FSS to english at say volume 6, then the "set" of volumes 1 to 6 would be complete and thus be valid as a torrent at boxtorrents.

The big thing about boxtorrents is that torrents are long-lived over there. Things put up in 2003 still get seeded by people other than the original uploader. So, rare things like the original Robotech book novels are still available there.
>> Anonymous
>>254112

That IS a good idea. I've lost count of the times I've needed something from datorrents and I get 2 other leechers and 0 seeders.
>> Anonymous
>>254158
Yeah, I've pretty much accepted that as a given by now.
>> Anonymous
only problem is that boxtorrents require accounts to upload and download while datorrents is available to all.
>> Anonymous
>>254163
I was going to rage about that, when I first read his suggestion. But if it's in fact true that a torrent might stay active for years over there, it might just be worth it.

Anyway, I'm sure it would be spread either way.
Just hope Archive has the stamina to do this. Nomen est omen?
>> Anonymous
>>254166

Best way is to put on both.

At least then, if non boxtorrent users request a reseed, and there's nobody with the full set, one could download it from boxtorrents and use it to seed any other tracker.

BoxTorrents doesn't require you to signup if it is a non-hentai torrent and you know the URL of the item you want. You need to signup if you are going to browse or get hentai. Some fansub groups use BoxTorrent as their tracker.

For example, the cutscene video from Xenosaga I Der Will zur Macht is available at the URL below and no signup is needed to download or use the tracker:

I'm still here, though work has been getting in the way of getting this book done. I hope (really hope) that I can get book 3 done by Sunday.

About the torrent tracking; It's a good idea, but my current connection is so slow I would likely start a torrent on Datorrents, let the swarm grow and then start the one on Boxtorrents if necessary. A few of the bigger scan project I have put up on Datorrents are still being seeded almost a year later.

I hope to get a better connection (not an unsecured wi-fi link) soon, when that happens I likely will start the torrents on multiple trackers, but it's kinda an unknown until then.

I second boxtorrent recommendation. Been registered there for ages.
I've got torrents of quite unspectacular shows years old long replaced by newer higher quality ones I still find people insisting on seeding/downloading.
It was almost silly how well torrents was kept alive before but now they started with a new system where you get bonus points for seeding dead/low seed ones making it even "worse". Highly recommend it.

I know it's probably not of much use to most of you, but I just wanted to let you guys know, that there's a torrent available containing all 12 Japanese books released until now. There's three seeders and they're not online 24/7, but I was able to complete the download in less than a day:

fantastic! one million thanks!!!!!!!

Btw, I noticed that the black & white pages do not have grayscale, and this makes a bit difficult to read text.

If you're going to keep with the black & white only pages, I suggest you to scan at 300dpi, and save the files in GIF or PNG instead of JPG. This will help improve the quality without making the files larger.

She is HORRIBLE at doing porn. She always looks like she just plain isn't enjoying it, is waiting for it to end, and doesn't think she's getting payed enough. She's reluctant in a lazy way, not an innocent way. Turn off, no matter who you are.

No, this is another fake volume 11
