This isn't a TV! Or is it?
During my days as a college freshman, far away from home, I often was stuck with a lot of free time (Especially on the holidays). It is then I discovered youtube. I found it amazing I could watch all these 텔레비전 shows I just loved back home(where I had Satellite)! Of course, eventually 유튜브 merged with 구글 and took down many of these beloved shows. Therefore, I looked elsewhere: Where might I get my 다음 fix for X-Files, Smallville, 또는 The Office, 또는 watch 로스트 season 3 after it already ended? I did not have a lot of money to be spending on DVD Season box sets.
The result is a wide 도서관, 라이브러리 of video sharing sites and the methods to find what I’m looking for. So let’s start at the beginning:
Television Shows
How do I word my search?
If 당신 are searching for a Live-action show (that is, not 만화 또는 anime), this method is suggested:
First, remember these common 동영상 공유 websites:
www.youtube.com
www.sidereel.com (A website where people place 링그 to episodes from many sources)
www.dailymotion.com (Lots of French subs)
www.divx.com (a lot of Spanish and german subs - high quality videos)
www.veoh.com
www.movie6.net/tv/
link
(Fanpop is also a great place to find videos!)
Now how to word your search. Say 당신 are looking for 스몰빌 Season 1 Episode 2 : Metamorphasis. This might seem like a logical way to search. However, there are several different ways the people who 업로드 these 비디오 will word the titles and tags.
The other common ways are this:
스몰빌 1x02
스몰빌 S01E02
스몰빌 102
Metamorphasis
당신 may think 당신 cannot find a particular video, but sometimes 당신 can only find it 의해 wording it correctly.
**File-Hosting Websites**
Now, some 텔레비전 shows simply are too old 또는 not 인기 enough to be found on these 동영상 공유 sites.
Another method I have found very useful is going to www.google.com and typing in
‘Smallville 1x02 Megaupload’
Adding megaupload brings up several results that include megaupload 링그 of this episode. However, 당신 will have to download the file instead of watching a stream.
당신 may also try other file-hosting sites such as sendspace 또는 rapidshare instead of megaupload.
****
Anime-
Finding 아니메 is tricky, because it comes in many formats (Japanese dub 또는 RAW, English subbed and English dub).
Good video-streaming websites to find 아니메 on are:
www.anime6.org
www.veoh.com
www.sidereel.com
www.divx.com
www.youtube.com
Download websites:

There are many others I’m sure but these are the ones that I’ve used.
While 아니메 have ‘seasons’ typically they are labeled 의해 the total episode number. Even if an 아니메 is in its 초 season, episode 2, it will often read “<Anime> Episode 28”
Example: Death note episode 2: Showdown
Terminology to 검색 with:
Death note 2
Death note 02
Death note Showdown
02 showdown
*Depending on what type 당신 are looking for, also add : RAW, Eng sub, Eng dub. Sometimes this is not necessary as the 아니메 only comes in 1 또는 2 types.
*You can also use the megaupload method to find episodes.
Some new sites i've found since 글쓰기 this article:
www.livevideo.com
www.gofish.com
www.surfthechannel.com
www.videostored.com
www.megavideo.com <--This is a great one!
I have found that sometimes it is difficult to find 비디오 of 영화 또는 tv shows because the user who uploaded it masked the video name 의해 putting gibberish.
My 조언 is to try less obvious 태그 (Such as Will smith to find the movie "I am Legend", 또는 IAL --the abbreviation of the movie name) and then sort your results 의해 LENGTH.
If the full movie is on the website 당신 will see it near the beginning. This also works when looking for 아니메 또는 tv shows--most are around 22-24 분 long. Hour-long tv shows are 41-44 분 long.
