Most of the time, when a person buys or finds a product from DLsite and uploads it elsewhere, one or two things occur...

1. He/She will share not only a download link, but also a DLsite link to the product for it's description and source

2. Won't bother to rename a file that has been bought

Google is known to archive web links in it's search engine if allowed to by the site's owner and in turn, allowing instant access to a product via Google and that's where the following method occurs for obtaining a DLsite product without having to wait or wasting money (if available that is)

Take this product for example

[Lilith / Pixy] nuye- Kagami Visual Works - [digital]


The product number for this work is "RJ073723" as can be seen in the link (You could have if Eng DLsite didn't change some stuff). All you have to do is type or copy/paste the product number in to the Google search engine and look it up.

Chances are, if someone has not bothered to censor out or remove the product number, uploaded the work and time has elapsed of at least 5 hours or more, (I'm not sure on the average) or if a public download engine the person used like megaupload or rapidshare allows Google to add a "used" link, you can find dozens to hundreds of links to the specific work you are looking for thus significantly shortening the time it would take for someone to answer your request here. The only downside is that most of the time it will give you links to sites claiming to be legit when they aren't and try to get you to download malware.

This method is also an easier alternative to finding a product instead of searching up it's actual name due to the name being something that can be found in a common sentence thus lengthening your search time.

You can also try the following...

1. Add "dlsite" as well as the products name to the search for easier finding

2. If available on a forum you frequent that may have allowed google to archive it's site, add the forum's name to the search

Edit: Nevermind, you meant a thread.

Excellent tips (i always used to just search the full names or with just by game maker name and most of the results were bs). Thanks

Sometimes adding "hash" to the name of the thing you're searching works too for some things going around on japanese P2P. Searching on hash databases of japanese P2P programs is usually more effective than the clients's own search engine.

DLsite went through an site update so this method might be harder to use, I'm not sure.
