No download links? (Downloads links temporarily missing)

Guys, there's a simple solution to all this while the download links are AWOL.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but for the most part, FAKKU is an aggregator site - it's grabbing the manga from other translator sites and centralizing them. (In many cases those other translator sites have been posting their manga here as well.)

There's nothing wrong with loading each chapter in the viewer and downloading each page separately, but you're doing things the HARD way if this is your primary method. (You also run the risk of the viewer down-scaling the resolution of the pictures to speed up the loading times. MOST web viewers do this by default, by the way.)

The point you all seem to be missing is that the original translator sites still exist - and still offer download links on their own pages (for the most part.) On EVERY SINGLE chapter/story listed on FAKKU the translator is listed. Google the translator and you'll find their site; search the site and you'll find the item you're looking for.


lol. you do realize that sometime, there are "Translator: 'Insert Group Name'" that you can easily just click on? it also forward you to to the information on that group and include the link to their site?

another easy way, instead of searching google is to use google to find some "Manga Database" as those manga database contain information about the manga/doujinshi and even tell you which group did which.

also, you can try to find the credit page that each scanlation would include, which are often found at the end or at the beginning as i know most of them also include the url address to their group.


ZikenZendou, Have you actually *tried* clicking on a translator link lately? What you're describing is what it USED to do. At the moment, clicking it will bring up a list of all the items that translator has contributed to FAKKU, but no website information is given. Hence my suggestion to google it.

My post wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list of options. I've got several Manga Databases bookmarked myself, although I mostly use them when I'm trying to get my files labeled by author/circle correctly. Yours is certainly a valid option in the absence of Fakku's normal functionality. ^_^

It's not even a Jacob issue, it seems it's the server company that needs to do something before we can resolve this. I'm not aware of the specifics but it's not something that will be fixed in the near future, though I have not spoken to Jake in about a week so things may have changed. Ill see if I can get an update but you may all have to adopt a "alternate method" to download your hentai.

You can try copying and pasting the pages of the manga to substitute donwloading, as least this is what I do. Most uploads are not more than 30 pages long, I think it may be worth the time.

That being said, I thank the site admin for all their hard work.

IMHO, a short term measure to alleviate the problem should be to restore the translator information in some manner, so users could go to their blog/homepage using the links and download from mirrors there.

Hopefully the download button will be repaired ASAP. Goodluck to Jake.

I was absent from the site for a while and when I noticed that there were no download links I thought that they were gone for good. This made me feel like something I read somewhere about a guy who was always drunk and went sober. Later he said "those where the worst 20 minutes of my life".

For me at least the lack of download links has given me the ability to work through my backlog however I am almost getting through it all so I hope the downloads will be back soon.
