1.  Technical Problems...

(1.1) I am having problems downloading some files.
----- There is really nothing I can do about this. Specifically this question addreses those people who are able to start downloading but suffer from time outs. My only advice to you is to try downloading at a less busy time of day or switch to a better ISP.  This problems is most definately on your end, not mine.

(1.2) File does not work?
----- There are two types of file errors you may encounter when browsing this site. The first is a 'server does not exist' error. This is not serius. Just try back later. If the file is consistanly not found then let me know. The other kind of error is a 'file not found' this is bad. Let me know immediately.

(1.3) Will you unzip the movies and mp3s?
----- All the movies and mp3s are zipped. That means you have to unzip them first before you can view them. I zipped them with WinZip.  If you are having problems unzipping them get an updated versian of WinZip. Some AOL users have problems downloading them. Get a real browser like IE 4+ or Netscape 4+.  I can not unzip the files because I need to conserve space so don't ask. I will not email you unzipped or zipped files either. Some Mac users say they have problems unzipping the files.  There is nothing I can do about that.

(1.4) Why are some movies are down?  When will they be back up?
----- I know some are down.  This is because simplenet decided to take away their 'unlimited' policy.  I am trying to find a new home for them and I will get them back up as soon as possible.

(1.5) How did you make the movies, sounds, images? How did you get the episodes, OAVs, etc?
----- I have a video capture card for my computer which allows me to capture all the video and images.  I use my sound card to capture sounds.  I tapes the episodes when they were airing on Sci-Fi channel.  I got the OAVs from a friend.  I got all my action figures from friends.  Check out my special thanks page to see who contributed what.

(1.6) Format of Images?
----- I only have jpgs and gifs.  Because those are the only kind that display on browsers.

2. Questions about the show..

(2.1) What time and channel is Ronin Warriors on?
----- I regret to say that it has been over 10 years since it aired in Japan, over 2 years since its US airing on FOX networks, and over 1 year since its US airing on Sci-Fi channel.  Basically its been canceled for a while.  If you would like information about how to bring the show back to US television then check out Rescue Our Ronins!

(2.2) What are the proper spellings of the characters names?
----- Only a few characters names have an offical spelling (meaning they appeared in the title of an episode). These are: Talpa, Ryo, Saranbo, Saber Strike, Anubis, White Blaze, Sun Deveil, and Kayura.

(2.3) I have heard about nudity in the show.  Is that correct?
----- It is indeed correct.  In episode 30 (Talpa Turns the Tide) you can see Kayura nude as she changes from her warrior outfit to her kimono.  I'll try and put a movie up of this scene eventually.

(2.4) What does Kayura look like? 
----- I had to post this question because I am still seeing people put up pictures of Nadia saying she is Lady Kayura.  In case you are wondering who Nadia is, she is a character from OAV #2.  She never even appeared in the TV series.  The image on the side of this FAQ is of Kayura.  Just so we don't get any more confusion I present these two links:
Kayura Pictures
Nadia Pictures

3. Merchandise Questions

(3.1) Where can I get tapes of Ronin Warriors?  Of the OAVs?
----- Check out the RW/YST Merchandise section.  I have compiled all the information I have about getting tapes and other merchandise there.

(3.2) Where can I get Ronin Warriors posters? toys? etc?
----- Once again I refer you to the RW/YST Merchandise section. Also check anime stores, anime conventions, and other places.  I have seen the Ronin Warriors action figures sold at Kay-Bee, and heard roumers of them being at Wal-mart as well.

(3.3) Do you have Action Figures, Tapes, Merchandise, OAVs, etc. for sale?
----- None of my action figures or merchandise is for sale.  Ronin Warriors or Otherwise.  Sorry.  I cannot make copies of tapes or oavs.  Check out the RW / YST Merchandise area for further information about getting stuff.

4. Miscellaneous Questions..

(4.1) Can you send me movies, images, mp3s, sounds, etc?
----- I do not have the time to send people these things.  I have put everything I have in the download area.  Please look there for them.  If any of them do not work, please tell me and I will check them and fix them.  If you have any requests please tell me and I will add them as soon as I can.  I will send images provided that you have a VERY good reason for requesting them.

(4.2) What does ???? mean?
----- Check the glossary.  If it isn't there ask me and I'll add it.

(4.8) Can I use your pictures / sounds / movies / fanfics for my site?
