I just downloaded episode 4 from the FTP site, and when I tried to play it, it told me it couldn't play the video portions. A menu popped up and said "Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found." Do I need to download something extra to make it work? I was using RealOne to play it by the way. Someone please tell me. I've just gotten my little sister into this and she wants to see this.

I would try any other players you have. Windows media player might even tell you what codec you need, if that is the case. :D

I tried Media Player and it just told me there was an "error downloading Codec."

TV-Nihon switched over to the Xvid codec from DivX.
You can get it here:

Hey Dennis_Ian, I'm on dial-up and I've downloaded the first 4 episodes. If it reaches 4k/second I'm happy. :wacko: Takes about 15 hours per file, but I use a download manager and nibble away at it a bit at a time during each online session.

Or is your problem firewall/connection related?

yah i guess so, iam on a local area network where our server are configured to go through a proxy server whenever we go online, a lot of site are barred as well as connecting to any server. i guess theres no way for me to download any file and i got tired of looking for a download manager that could probably solve this problem so i guess iam quitting... :cry:
