I t doesn't help that person who claims to have hacked it, backtracks and goes "wait was that mangatraders or mangadownloads?" Hence my confusion.
I hacked mangadownloads. Not mangatraders, or at least I didn't do the final hack that buried mangatraders. I even gave the names of the actual hackers that buried mangatraders. Forgive me for forgetting whether I did it or not. I've taken part in several such operations, even the one targeted at mangafox. So things get confusing because they all have the same name. Aggregators must burn.
Mee too. R u serious? Using IE and asking about mangatrader Dude, you timetraveled to the wrong year. Now is 2017. Pls send me a copy of mangatrader once you got to the right time. Thanks.
Is this a serious question or must I make a very long history lesson? Can somebody else answer this question in a concise and compact post because Ai-chan's hate for aggregators will cause Ai-chan to go overboard with my answer.
Yes it is a serious question. Mangatraders is the only way I have found to download volumes. As I have OCD I HATE downloading individual chapters with a passion. Not to mention the fact that individual scanlation sites tend to go down and sites like these are usually the ONLY way to find old stuff.
I have domdomsoft. It's already stopped working with batoto. And that was the only site that CLEARLY divided things by volumes
Hold on, mangatraders was the one with volume downloads? Then yes, Ai-chan hacked it to death with several others. The three people who buried it were the ones who put the final nail to the coffin when the owner refused to abide by his own promises. Woohoo! Ai-chan's memory isn't shot after all! As for why, to put it simply without going into a historical lesson, they stole scanlators' hard work and make money out of it without crediting the scanlators. The scanlators were not doing it for money, but for the love of the story. So what if scanlators choose to take it down? In many cases, they brought it down because of anger at their hard work being stolen and being used to make the aggregators rich at their expense. So go buy the actual manga and contribute to the mangaka instead of making aggregators rich.
Because they steal the translation a group made, post it on their site and because they also have several other stolen manga they get a lot of traffic. The translators don't get any traffic nor recognition (only from the pages they have to add on their site so that when an aggregators site steals it and puts it on their site, people can know it was X translator group who did the work.) Aggregators site steal from translators and get money from the billion ads they have on their site. Well, at least that's what I know about them.
wait... Then does it mean it works on a website like mangahere? The only place i download from domdomsoft is from mangahere only...
@animalia Manga Traders: In June 2014, the Manga trading website Mangatraders.com had the usernames and passwords of over 900k users leaked on the internet (approximately 855k of the emails were unique). The passwords were weakly hashed with a single iteration of MD5 leaving them vulnerable to being easily cracked. Compromised data: Email addresses, Passwords Source: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ P/s: You can check your email or username there... my old email have been leaked from 7 different site. I didn't even realized some registered using my email. That explain some spams that I got.
