It might become unavailable soon, so grab it while it’s still working.

Since Ernie has announced that he will stop providing his raws (thank you for your service sir, you are a legend), I thought it would be nice if we kept sharing “public sources” (torrents, links to bilibili or whatnot you happen to find on the net) of the shows featuring Downtown and of other Japanese variety shows in the Other Japanese comedy section of this forum.

This is a tentative first post, let me know what you think.

its sad that ernie-san not uploading again. thanks for uploading, its nice with japanese subtitle.

It’s not working for me even with a vpn, but still thank you so much for uploading.

Just a clarification, this is a public upload, I didn’t upload the source myself.
I don’t have access to Japanese tv myself, all I can do is post what I manage to find publicly available on the net.

It’s a nice idea. Thank you very much!

For streaming (and possibly download if using helper apps like yt-dlp), I recommend Miomio over Bilibili because it has been faster for me in recent times:

https://miomio.guru/suiyobinodowntown

Quality is OK, usually 720p.

The miomio site changes URLs from time to time, currently it’s miomio.guru - if it is nuked from the web, it usually turns up quickly again under a different TLD. Google will help you in that case.

Thanks for the suggestion, it does appear to be better than bilibili. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Thank you a lot for the torrent link. ErnieYoungさんs uploads have become such a routine for me, I find myself completely lost without him, so this really helped me out a lot.

Naturally Gaki and Suiyoubi are big enough that they shouldn’t ever be impossible to find in watchable quality, but feeling pretty concerned about trying to find the other shows I came to watch every week, like 相席食堂、ナイトスクープ、ゲームセンターCX、and イッテQ! with comparable quality and reliability :frowning: … Man, it’s really got me feeling 寂しい, yknow? Lord knows the legend has earned it though. Was at it for how many years? 8? Total hero.

so this site is officially dead?

Have you tried tver.jp? Player is locked to Japan but proxying edge.api.brightcove.com and playback.api.streaks.jp with japan proxy solves the problem. Video stream itself is not geo-locked so proxy’s speed does not matter.

Other way is just search https://tver.jp/search/水曜日のダウンタウン copy link and download it with yt-dlp.
Or even watch it directly in a player like mpv or mpc-hc if you know how to make them work with yt-dlp.

Unfortunately yt-dlp does not support https://tver.jp/live/tbs but it is possible to manually take link to manifest.m3u8 and download with yt-dlp using these arguments --downloader ffmpeg --hls-use-mpegts -o path_and_or_name_to_video_file.mp4 (of course you need to download and put ffmpeg in same folder with yt-dlp)

Site feel empty without ernie’s uploads ;(

oh, no more ernies videos :frowning: yeah so sad. just when kurochan was back on monster stuff :slight_smile:
