So, HongFire is down and the guys in the IRC saying that the DDL and torrent section will get removed because Honk don't want to deal anymore with the DMCA bullshit. Don't know how much of this is actually true, but anyway. Somebody asked me once in the tc IRC to post my VN/Eroge links, so I'm doing this now, feel free to add, what you are thinking is missing. Note: some of my links are quite well known, like the tokykotosho one, but please be aware that not everybody is so well educated on this matter, so this thread could be a nice start for people that are new to the scene.

jaja so sad
I'm a bit sad it's down and probably won't be back up, but that's a price we have to pay I suppose. Thanks for the lists to alternate sites though, some of these are new to me so this was a great help.
Google search for Hongfire is still pretty effective regardless of the downtime still if you do this: site:hongfire.com "visual novel's Japanese name" To demonstrate: site:hongfire.com "グリザイアの果実" All you have to do following this is click on the Google cache link and it'll take you to the download page. This only works with DDL, and if the user that uploaded the VN set the links to only be viewed by registered users, you're out of luck. It's still not too bad provided you're not searching for anything obscure. I really hope Hongfire doesn't remove their DDL/torrent sections, though. It's my main source for VN downloads because finding untranslated VNs with DDL is hard outside of Hongfire. I have no idea if there are some Japanese equivalents or just a general 2ch thread for something like that, and I'm too lazy to search around and find out. I'd really hate to resort to Share/Perfect Dark for downloads. Oh, and excellent post. Tons of stuff I want to check out.Post edited on 9th Sep 2011, 3:01pm
So, any updates?
HF is back up, and the DDL and torrent sections are indeed gone.
the torrent section is still available http://www.anonym.to/http://www.hongfire.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/101-Torrents
>>706 I hope they keep at least the torrent section up. I had access to the direct download section still until today, but not anymore. How long does Google's cache archive pages for?
What are the chances of a "new" Hongfire popping up? Hongfire pretty much has no reason to exist anymore and people have to have somewhere to go, so when will the void be filled?
>>709 Anime-sharing.com is currently pretty much the way to go.
The historical genderbender eroge Eiyusenki is out! Full steam ahead to bed-head Beethoven route! Get it here: http://www.anime-sharing.com/forum/torrents-47/5-%5B120330%5D-%5B%E5%A4%A9%E7%8B%90%5D-%E8%8B%B1%E9%9B%84%EF%BC%8A%E6%88%A6%E5%A7%AB-update-1-01-%5Bh-game%5D-55156/
>>939 Oh boy, I'll fuck over the whole round table so badly.
http://deja-vu.mangasos.com/projects-adreamofsummer.html Here's a short work I found adorable and touching. Definitely worth your time to play it.
Just started Okujou no Yuriei-san, though it's yet to be translated. So far I really like it. Lots of cute girls everywhere. http://vndb.org/v8508 http://sukebei.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=127724Post edited on 29th Jun 2012, 7:16am
