FAQ

Q: Why do you do this?
A: There are a few reasons why I choose to do this. The Jetstream only keeps the latest episodes of series on their servers, and some people would like to save the files to view them at a later time, or to give to their friends. Some people can’t even view the Toonami Jetstream page (such as users in a country other than the U.S. or people with really bad computers) but really wish to see these episodes. I primarily do it because there are fans out there who want it.
Q: What does LA mean?
A: LA is not meant to represent an abbreviation or acronym of anything. As hard as it is to grasp, LA means nothing except for… LA. Confused?
Q: What program(s) do you use to rip the episodes off the website?
A: I personally use a program called WMRecorder to rip these videos, but there are many other programs that are able to capture and record streaming media.
Q: What can I do to help?
A: Download our releases, seed our releases on BitTorrent, and be kind, supportive, and appreciative in the comments.
Q: Can I go the extra mile to help?
A: We are always in need of server funding. If you feel obligated to donate to help pay for our services, then do feel free to do so by clicking on the donate button.
Q: How much or how often should I donate?
A: Donate whatever amount you wish as many times as you want. Any dollar amount really helps the lifespan of the servers and upgrades.
Q: What codecs are required to play these files?
A: The standard WMV codecs are used in all the files. If you have a recent version of Windows Media Player, odds are you can play these with no problem.
Q: Why doesn’t this episode play correctly?
A: Try updating your WMV codecs. Windows users can look here to update their codecs, and MAC users can look here to getting the WMV codec.
Q: Why is the video quality not pristine?
A: These are streaming videos provided by Toonami. I provide exact duplicates of what is available on the website.
Q: Why are all the files .wmv?
A: That’s the format Toonami decided to upload them as. I rip and upload exact duplicates of the videos uploaded on the Jetstream without using any other compression/codec methods.
Q: Will you do this show?
A: I usually only rip and release new shows and series, or shows that may be very hard to find. Most other shows that are available on the Jetstream can be easily found by searching for them on major BitTorrent search engines such as MiniNova.
Q: Why haven’t you uploaded any more anymore episodes of this show?
A: I rip and release new episodes as they become available. If there haven’t been any recent releases for a particular show, you can bet that there haven’t been any new episodes on the Jetstream for some time.
