HSB Site – An Update

I reported on HSB Site’s temporary anime direct downloads last month, with the thought that the site would end that service by this month.

It seems, however, that I was mistaken. It’s not that the entire direct downloads service was going to be taken down, but its forum posting requirement was going to be reestablished. From what I can gather, HSB Site doesn’t impose any forum posting requirement until 75% of that month’s bandwidth allocation has been used up. Once that happens, a forum posting requirement is set to decrease the amount of bandwidth being used. But when the next month’s bandwidth allocation comes in, the forum posting requirement is removed.

At the moment, this requirement seems to be off. The selection of anime series they provide through their own media servers has also been changed since my feature last month.

1) HSB Site

• Media Server Speed: Average (slightly better than last month)
• Content: 8+ completed anime series (e.g. Digimon Frontier Season 4, Ranma 1/2 Season 1, Street Fighter 2V etc.) and several movies (e.g. Stret Fighter Alpha The Animated Movie, Street Fighter Alpha Generations 2005, etc.) on their own server, and about 70+ more (both ongoing and completed anime) on free file hosts (4300+ episodes in total).
• Update Frequency: Average
• Video Format: .rmvb (LQ to MQ) or .avi (HQ) or .mkv (HQ)
• Note: Free registration required, but forum posting is not required at the moment. When 75% of their bandwidth has been used up, a 1 forum post per download requirement is enacted until next month’s bandwidth allocation comes in.
