When you clicked on a title, you`ll see a bunch of information - Title, genre, perhaps even a picture of the anime, and more stuff. But what we're looking for is below: A listing of the Episodes.<br>
When you clicked on a [[animeentries|title]], you`ll see a bunch of information - Title, genre, a picture of the anime, and more stuff. But what we're looking for is below: <b>A listing of the Episodes.</b><br>
When the page is loaded, you`ll see tiny orange '+' signs; one in the first line [[image:howto-mylist-all.gif]] and one for each ep.<br>
 
Whenever you click on one of those in front of the episode-titles, you`ll see one or more files by one or more groups. You can already see some of the file's info there like filesize, group name and an ed2k-link.<br>

After that you`ll find yourself in another screen, where you can add a little personal info (where you got the files, and on which [[Filestates:cd|cd]]/[[Filestates:hdd|hdd]] they are stored) - you can leave all the fields empty and just choose either "watched" or "unwatched".


After that you`ll find yourself in another screen, where you can add a little personal info (where you got the files, and on which [[Filestates:cd|cd]]/[[Filestates:hdd|hdd]] they are stored. There are also other [[Filestates]]) When using [[Files:Generic files|generic files]] consider setting the correct [[Filetype|filetype]] - you can leave all the fields empty and just choose either "watched" or "unwatched".
