This isn't a TV! Or is it?
During my days as a college freshman, far away from home, I often was stuck with a lot of free time (Especially on the holidays). It is then I discovered youtube. I found it amazing I could watch all these टेलीविज़न shows I just loved back home(where I had Satellite)! Of course, eventually यूट्यूब merged with गूगल and took down many of these beloved shows. Therefore, I looked elsewhere: Where might I get my अगला fix for X-Files, Smallville, या The Office, या watch लॉस्ट season 3 after it already ended? I did not have a lot of money to be spending on DVD Season box sets.
The result is a wide पुस्तकालय of video sharing sites and the methods to find what I’m looking for. So let’s start at the beginning:
Television Shows
How do I word my search?
If आप are searching for a Live-action दिखाना (that is, not कार्टून या anime), this method is suggested:
First, remember these common वीडियो शेरिंग websites:
www.youtube.com
www.sidereel.com (A website where people place लिंक्स to episodes from many sources)
www.dailymotion.com (Lots of French subs)
www.divx.com (a lot of Spanish and german subs - high quality videos)
www.veoh.com
www.movie6.net/tv/
link
(Fanpop is also a great place to find videos!)
Now how to word your search. Say आप are looking for स्मॉल्विल Season 1 Episode 2 : Metamorphasis. This might seem like a logical way to search. However, there are several different ways the people who अपलोड these वीडियो will word the titles and tags.
The other common ways are this:
स्मॉल्विल 1x02
स्मॉल्विल S01E02
स्मॉल्विल 102
Metamorphasis
आप may think आप cannot find a particular video, but sometimes आप can only find it द्वारा wording it correctly.
**File-Hosting Websites**
Now, some टेलीविज़न shows simply are too old या not लोकप्रिय enough to be found on these वीडियो शेरिंग sites.
Another method I have found very useful is going to www.google.com and typing in
‘Smallville 1x02 Megaupload’
Adding megaupload brings up several results that include megaupload लिंक्स of this episode. However, आप will have to download the file instead of watching a stream.
आप may also try other file-hosting sites such as sendspace या rapidshare instead of megaupload.
****
Anime-
Finding ऐनीमे is tricky, because it comes in many formats (Japanese dub या RAW, English subbed and English dub).
Good video-streaming websites to find ऐनीमे on are:
www.anime6.org
www.veoh.com
www.sidereel.com
www.divx.com
www.youtube.com
Download websites:

There are many others I’m sure but these are the ones that I’ve used.
While ऐनीमे have ‘seasons’ typically they are labeled द्वारा the total episode number. Even if an ऐनीमे is in its सेकंड season, episode 2, it will often read “<Anime> Episode 28”
Example: Death note episode 2: Showdown
Terminology to खोजिए with:
Death note 2
Death note 02
Death note Showdown
02 showdown
*Depending on what type आप are looking for, also add : RAW, Eng sub, Eng dub. Sometimes this is not necessary as the ऐनीमे only comes in 1 या 2 types.
*You can also use the megaupload method to find episodes.
Some new sites i've found since लेखन this article:
www.livevideo.com
www.gofish.com
www.surfthechannel.com
www.videostored.com
www.megavideo.com <--This is a great one!
I have found that sometimes it is difficult to find वीडियो of फिल्में या tv shows because the user who uploaded it masked the video name द्वारा putting gibberish.
My सलाह is to try less obvious टॅग्स (Such as Will smith to find the movie "I am Legend", या IAL --the abbreviation of the movie name) and then sort your results द्वारा LENGTH.
If the full movie is on the website आप will see it near the beginning. This also works when looking for ऐनीमे या tv shows--most are around 22-24 मिनटों long. Hour-long tv shows are 41-44 मिनटों long.
