Hi! Sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you had some tips about downloading older kpop performance .ts/torrent videos for giffing (like say, from 2013 or so). What if torrents seem to be dead and won't really download? Do you have any advice? I'm not really that experienced with torrents to be honest~ (And your gifs are gorgeous btw!!)
Thank you for the compliments dear ^^ and don't worry you can always message me and ask me anything you are not bothering at all~
Well, it is usually difficult to find torrent files with old performances since most people don't seed after they download it and the ones that do seed don't do it for long. To find the torrents you can google the date and name of the show in korean and the word torrent (140817 인기가요 태민 torrent) and then find a site to download the torrent file or search in sites that upload torrents like kpop24hrs, kpopweb, hulkpop etc . Sometimes the torrent may seem dead but not be. Some seeders seed the torrent for some hours every week so don't lose hope if it doesn't download right away. For example, I downloaded 40 gb of ts videos just with these few hours every week.
Another way get your hands on hd performances is to download them from a hosting site like mega, mediafire etc. Search in international forums and if you find the links dead, ask for a reupload if possible. You can also search in sites like kpop24hrs, k2nblog, 360kpop, gallade's blog, kpopella, kpopexciting etc. You can also search your performance in twitter and maybe you will find something. My last option would be to google the name of the performance you are looking for in korean and add the words ts, tp, 1080i, 720p, mkv, avi etc.
It can be a tiring and time consuming but if you are dedicated you will probably find it somewhere. Remember that a 720p mkv file is better than nothing ^^
