Manga Download Sites
This applies for the manga downloads section only! And is mostly for my reference.

Information on scanlators of many manga series. Type in what you're looking for, and this site will direct you to groups that scanlate that series. However, some series are listed as not having any scanlators, but scanlations are readily available.

Good resource of links to scanlation sites.

A large number of manga series best for online viewing, but not the most up-to-date.

Many manga series, updated very frequently. A huge number of manga series, mostly shounen. Definitely worth a visit!

Not that many manga series, but not too bad, for really shounen manga.

Many series, quite a decent number with volume downloads. You will need to get 200 posts on the News and BlogIt sections before you gain access to the licensed series. There are some open PA days, in which anyone can download. [As of this time, 19th December 2006, I have 150+ posts.]

The guys behind Bleach7.com. They only carry the really latest chapters, though. So only if you follow the manga already.

A huge load of both shoujo and shounen manga available, you can see what they host here. (Even Demon Diary, forochel!) It's shocking. They have a system for downloading, each manga volume eats 10 coppers. You get 50 when you sign up. Coppers are earned through posting. From the feedback, it seems quite reliable.

Massive amounts of things available although mostly not up to date, without registration. Files come in RAR, so you'll need an extractor (not hard to find) to read it. You'll need to wait 10 seconds before you download, though, but consideing the pros, it's not a bad site.

Also insane amounts of manga available, but some files are corrupted. Not a bad download speed, and multiple files can be downloaded at a time. Decently up-to-date.

Not a bad range, including shoujo manga. Recent chapters aren't available, but most of the other files are there. Anime downloads also available.

Once again, many series. It's quite up-to-date, mostly behind by a chapter or two. There are many shoujo manga available as well. However, there is a 15 minute wait between downloads - but it does let you download full anime episodes as well.

A huge amount of series, really up to date, but for viewing online only. The pages load reasonably fast, and pages are all medium-ish quality.

Manga Underground. Maybe thirty, forty manga series, all shounen. It is excellent, you can download series like the complete Death Note in two files in the Uploads section, their Manga Archive hosts volume-by-volume downloads, and their sidebar Manga links link to very up-to-date chapter-by-chapter downloads of mangas like Bleach, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist and D.Gray-man. Very reliable for the files they have up.

It's got tons and tons of series, many hard to find. The only problem, I would think, is navigation. It's a forum-style, and most of the files are hosted on off-site servers, and some are hosted at MegaUpload, which could give you some trouble.

Some more obscure manga here, but quite a good number. I'm not a big fan of the organisation - some files are not named very well.

They both scanlate and release, so you have maybe forty series up for download. However, licensed manga isn't downloadable.

Eyeshield 21 scans, but with tons of ads, and there's the password you need to type to unzip files. Files are hosted on an external server that requires you to wait 30 seconds and be annoyed by pop-up ads, so downloading is tricky.

Naruto manga downloads, very brilliant and up-to-date. Stoptazmo.com has been set up to contest the popularity of this site! Information is better at http://www.leafninja.com

Death Note manga downloads, but the server seems to be down at the moment. Last I checked it seemed quite a good site.

I love this site; it allows you to download by volume, and is very up-to-date. However, Volumes 9 - 17 can't be found here.

Chapter by chapter downloads of Bleach. Not bad, but slower than Bleach7.com to the updates.
