Right, after numerous people asking how to get/play Galaxy Force. Here
is a complete guide. Please read it through before starting to do it so
you fully understand. Here goes:
Subtitled episodes of Galaxy Force can be downloaded from a
fansub group called TV Nihon. Their website can be found by clicking here.
The link to the most recent episode should be somewhere on the main
page. If not, click the BitTorrent link at the top of the page to be
taken to their BitTorrent page which lists all the files they have for
download.
When you have found the link for the episode you want, click it.
This will download a small file only a few kilobytes in size with the
file extension ".torrent" to your computer. This is NOT the
episode itself. This is a torrent file that will enable you to download
the episode. To do this you will need to download the BitTorrent
software from here.
One you have this, open the file you downloaded from TV Nihon.
NOT the BitTorrent program. Opening the file from TV Nihon will open
BitTorrent and set everything up. Then just wait for the episode to
download. This will take a while as each about is about 230 megabytes
in size. When it's done. You will have a Galaxy Force episode with the
file extention ".avi". This IS a Galaxy Force episode. Then enjoy! If
you've having trouble with playing the file, download VLC Media Player
from here.
That's all you need to know. Now download folks!

Not at all. It's just that people keep asking how to do it and I think
I've answered various parts of the question many times, so that should
put everyone's mind at ease.

I just wanted to point out, that tv nihon also has Superlink (The
Japanese Energon) to download in its entirety, plus quite a lot of the
g1 japanese series.

hi
This is probably a stupid question, but is this illegal?
Thanks in advanced

To be honest, I have no idea. Probably.
But I look at it this way - I think it's OK to download anything that
cannot be purchased. Since there are no videos/DVDs of an
English-subbed Galaxy Force I would say it's OK to download as it's the
only way the material can be made accessable to us English-speaking
folk. If someone releases a DVD with Galaxy Force subbed into English
on it, I'll happily stop downloading from TV Nihon and buy the DVD. But
until then, I'll be there every week. I know some TV stations tried
taking some fan-subbers to court once. I can't remember what came of
it, but I see this - they take the people to court because people
download the subs rather than watching it on TV -> lower ratings
-> less money. But we don't actually watch Japanese TV anyway as we
don't live there, so by downloading the episodes we're not making any
difference. Oh, except that we get Galaxy Force.

Anyone care to explain what the green bars indicate?
I managed to download ep 36, and figuire out how to play it with some luck.
Eps 1 to 26 almost done, taking a while though. Im just a tad slow on what all these different things mean!
With regards to the share ratio, is someone downloading from me?

The share ratio is how much of the file you've uploaded to others
compared to the amount you've downloaded yourself. Ideally it should be
at 1:1 before you close the torrent down. Say an episode is 230Mb in
size, once you've finished downloading it, you should leave the torrent
open until your uploaded amount hits 230Mb as well. You don't have to
by any means, but it's just courteous to other users.
Unfortunately I can't help you with the green bars question as I
use a Mac and BitTorrent on Mac OS X looks very different to it's
Windows counterpart.

i don't use torrent to get the eps, i use the edonkey/mule network to get the files. it does take a few days but i don't have to worry about them just leave them going. i still haven't watched them all yet either, and if anyone wants them i have upto 35 on dvd.

Ohhhhh, Preview for Ep 40 looks fine! Megalo convoy looks way mahoosive!
Only grudge is the cons screen time, as Perceptor said.
I hope they get more involved next ep, especially Soundwave.

Sometimes TV Nihon's BT page will go down from time to time. This will
just be them doing some work on it to improve it and it will reapppear
soon. What's worth noting is that a torrent page like that is a little
different to a normal web page in that it's a "tracker page". If this
page is down, you will not be able to get any more torrents OR resume
any paused downloads you have that are using torrents from that page.
If you can't seem to download from TV Nihon for some reason, go to
their homepage and click the BitTorrent button at the top. If the
torrent list doesn't load, it means the tracker is down and you'll have
to wait a bit.
One last thing, PLEASE don't e-mail TV Nihon asking when stuff's
gonna be out. They get a lot of that and they're sick of it. Patience
is needed folks.

Yup that is a big no no and bad etiquette towards fan subbers. After all you are getting the show for free!
