I think I am going to go ahead with the guide with pictures. but here is the draft right now.
To get started download Winny:
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley/2949/Winny2b64.zip
Then save this to your winny directory as "noderef.txt"
http://node.s12.xrea.com/txt/2.0b6.4.txt
----
To download, type in what you are looking for in the upper left (S)
I think downloading priveleges may be ratioed out by how much you are uploading.
----
You will want to designate some upload source folders via the 3rd tab from the left.
I don't know if its true, but it seems like the more files I share, and the more upload bandwidth I use, the easier it is to connect to nodes and download.
----
You may also want to cap your upload bandwidth.
Hit the green button on the far right of the 3rd row down, and type in a maximum upload cap to the right of the "(KBytes/s)"
-----
On the second row down, the tabs are:
[nodes][BBS][upload folders][search results][download conditions][ignore conditions][task monitor][log][system info]
I'm not sure fully what the difference between the "download conditions" and "task" tabs are, if anyone would like to point out how to use these effeciently it would be appreciated.
It seems as if this program is set up so that you can set up what you are looking for, let it run, and walk away rather than having to search for it, and get the download initiated yourself.
Also if anyone knows of any other options it would be good to set.
-------
I don't really see how when the upload and download priveleges are ratioed out, there can be any problem with foreign users of this system.
The problem seems to be with pathetic Japanese racism and even more pathetic fan elitism.

Needless to say

I'd appreciate any help on Winny, and you're being most helpful, sabo10! ^_^

I believe this is true, at least it seems this way for me. I've never read anything which mentions this though.

Yeah, for those who use ADSL and your upload rate oversaturates your download rate, much like in bittorrent.
I'm not sure fully what the difference between the "download conditions" and "task" tabs are, if anyone would like to point out how to use these effeciently it would be appreciated.
In "download conditions", it looks like you can set criteria such as file type, size, time to download, etc. Never learnt how to use this though :)
I think "task" is used for scheduling your downloads, or to set up batch leeching.
It seems as if this program is set up so that you can set up what you are looking for, let it run, and walk away rather than having to search for it, and get the download initiated yourself.
Correct! Type what you want, and it'll search for nodes to download from while you sleep.
Also if anyone knows of any other options it would be good to set.
I'm just a basic user, so I don't go too deep, but it serves me fine so far.
Oh, and don't go typing romanji in the search fields, because you'll hardly get any results, if any.
Kick's WInMx's ass any day of the week for downloading Japanese related material :)
I use Winny to get raws of certain anime I really really like, eg Sutepri, One^2 etc, and some rare music.
Downloading Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu ep1 right now, or at least I think I am :)
Sutepri and One^2's raws should pop up tomorrow, since they're both airing later today, so I'm eagerly waiting for them too.
