C. Leeching

1. How do I download your files?
Our releases are currently available on bittorrent (BT), XDCC, or DDL links that we provide, if you find any of our releases on other file sharing sites, please help seed them.
2. Can you reseed xx torrent?
If you ask nicely.

4. Playback issues/Technical
1. Why are the subtitles not showing up on the softsubs (mkv)?
Make sure you have the latest Avisynth installed and are using Media Player Classic (mpc) with xy-vsfilter as your subtitle renderer.

2. What do you recommend for file playback?
Media Player Classic-Home Cinema (mpc-hc), madVR+xy-subfilter, or just MPC-HC+xy-vsfilter if your comp isn’t up to snuff. DON’T USE CCCP OR ANY OTHER BULLSHIT CODEC PACK, and NO FUCKING VLC. On anything that isn’t Windows, mpv. LAV filters are built into mpc-hc.

Known issues:
-Uninstalling all of your playback components and then installing only the recommended components solves most problems.

3. AVI/XviD and MKV/h264 (or x264)? What, how, WTF?
-AVI/XviD releases are intended for people with shitty computers (we don’t release in XviD, this isn’t 2004)
-h264 releases have about 33% better compression than XviD, thus producing better quality videos. However, h264 playback requires more processing power than XviD.
-Our MKV releases are fully softsubbed with either no-frills typesetting (because Eternal_Blizzard is a talentless hack), and fancy typesetting as well.

4. Will you release (insert crappy animu here) in AVI/XviD format?
Heck NO! But you can re-encode them for your own use.

5. Will you encode in 10-bit?
Of Coursh.
