I prefer e-hentai (or exhentai) for recommendation thread like this, because I can view them instantly without having to download them. Especially for large manga. All editors here should have enough GP they collect from stuff they uploaded, so downloading the archive from e-hentai is not an issue. And there's torrent (though not always). In short, e-hentai is fantastic and reducing the work of uploading and downloading if the purpose is "hey, try look at this one". Just need to know how to use it and get used to it (not that hard, really) :D .
*sigh*
1) "Well every site is prone to sudden closure like megaupload, including that depositfiles you use :P"
Actually, the akiba-online pages I linked to had 6 different hosts (for each volume).
2) "Also you just have to click the number below "Showing 1-x of x images" to see the rest of the images, simple as that. "
As I said, for me it doesn't work. Clicking that link you mention does not work for me (goes to the same page). I also cannot login to the site, meaning I can't access exhentai or get points.
3) "All editors here should have enough GP they collect from stuff they uploaded, so downloading the archive from e-hentai is not an issue."
If you are such an editor, then you would be doing something very useful by reuploading to an actual hosting service (or even better, use multiupload for example). A lot of things are only accessible on ghentai. Wouldn't it be too bad if all this disappeared for good in one day? Additionally, it would be easier for everyone to download if it was uploaded.
I'm sure you are trying to be helpful, but if I prefer dl links it's not just because I don't know how to use ghentai. I'm glad that it works for you, and I agree it's a great site (as long as it lasts). It's just too bad that it does not offer dl links (and some content) without logging.
(Please, let's not start a discussion on how people without points are evil leechers. Also, please don't tell me I just have to install firefox. This is not the place to debug my technical problems, and it doesn't change the other reasons why it's better to have dl links.)
