First of all, for those of you who have never heard of it, [Clubbox] is a huge file-storage website, maintained by individual accounts, etc etc. (I'm assuming it's a bit like freespace.filefront.com, except more widely used?) Anyway, I've discovered recently that it is like, the Motherload for getting various Japanese tv shows, clips, music, concerts, etc etc.

The catch? It's entirely in Korean. T^T

Fortunately, if there's a will, there's a way-- and several helpful people have made some good english tutorials (with screencaps and everything) for registering with Clubbox, downloading, setting up your own Clubbox, uploading, etc etc. The ones I've just used are [here at soompi forums]. (There's still some parts that are fuzzy to me, like how exactly "Mileage" and "Quickdownloading" work; but I DO know it's better to register with ClBx and to share files, especially if you want good downloads and speeds; rather than just leeching.)

Ways in which ClBx is better than YSI:  files last for 10 days, not 7; unlimited downloads for each file (as far as I can tell?) rather than 25; files can't be blocked; has a reward system for frequent users and sharers; gives you a page for keeping your uploads organized all in one place; has decent upping/DLding speeds (at least in my experience- like 30kbps up, 50kbps dl).

If you want to check out some Clubboxes that have a lot of good Arashi content, [Clubhouse Arashi] (who have been added to the Community Links,) maintain a very helpful site in that regard. (They also have some nice YSI/MegaUploads links that they share.)

Anyway~ to sort of celebrate FINALLY figuring out how the stupid thing works, (after lots of struggling and using BabelFish Translator and Googling), and also to encourage more people to join and get involved with this file-sharing service, I'll be taking the first THREE requests for any video file you like off [my list], no matter what it is or the size, and uploading them to my new Clubbox! \:3/~♥ Just comment to the post with a link to your own Clubbox (like so: "http://clubbox.co.kr/phasera" to show me you've signed-up) and your requested file.

I hope everyone has found this post helpful!

Clubbox is a wonderful thing. XD

The thing with mileage is that if you get enough points, you can trade the mileage in for coupons that enable you to do the quick downloading thing (If I remember correctly, 500 mileage points is enough to let you get a 1gb coupon). I got about up to 300kb/s once with it. But the coupons eventually expire if you don't use them within a certain amount of time and they don't always work in making the downloads faster ... so I usually don't like bothering with it. ^^''

*headdesks* Sorry. xD

When you have enough mileage, you click the button with a circle on it when you're on the mileage tab in the clubbox program and it takes you to a page to choose different coupons from.

Thanks for the tips! Sein also gave me the "how to clubbox 101" info last week but I've yet to try it out. ~__~ I'm still not sure about it since I have a new computer and I'm so afraid of doing anything to compromise it's integrity. It sounds like no one's had any security or virus or system crash issues with it, right? I'll try it out myself one of these days, since soooo much is being stroed there now...

I'm from Korea, so I could help you with the Korean, but you seem to have worked it out already. Anyways, at your service. And the best way to 'Quickdownload' is to pay for it-_-; Cruel, yes.

you get more space with clubbox, but you get a photo album and a bit more control with pdbox...pdbox has 50G and clubbox 100G

PDbox and Clubbox are both maintained by a company called Nowcom(http://www.nowcom.co.kr/). You can use both sites if you have an ID at either one.
In Korea, PDbox is more widely used(I assume it was made first), although Clubbox is starting to catch up. Also, you can search on PDbox for stuff you want, but you can't on Clubbox.

Ah, the famous yejuda. She (legendarily) spent only two hours a day sleeping, downloading and editing not only Arashi files but Smap, V6, Kinki Kids and god know what more. Plus, she has a real life(Uni student). Recently somebody was taking credit for her files, which pissed her off so badly(understandably..) she took off everything on her site. We're all waiting for her to come around-hopefully!
