Ok long story short I've been searching all over the Internet for something in an effort to download it, legally if possible, for a looooooong time and until recently have been coming up with nothing. I'd actually given up the search until I came across this site called nowdownloadall.com which seemed to have exactly what I was looking for, almost suspiciously so. Trouble is, they charge money for their service and I have a few other reservations. What I'm asking is, has anyone heard of this site? Is it trustworthy?
All my instincts say I should avoid it, but at the same time the nostalgia is killing me.

What do you want to download?

If it's free, it's generally not legal, you know.
That is a long and complicated story. I left out the details to avoid getting flooded with "TL:DR" posts. Besides it's not important, what I want to know is if this site/service can be trusted. If it's bugging you that much, all right I'll tell you. *deep breath* I'm a Dragon Ball fan right, and as far as dubbed versions go everyone knows that the franchise was dubbed for uh... America by Funimation studios, yes? What may be less well known is that sometime around 2001 or so, another dub was produced for broadcast in Canada by The Ocean Group out of Vancouver B.C. which coincidently coincided with when I first got into the franchise, so at first it was the only dub I knew of. Once the only TV channel in Canada the carried the shows stopped carrying them, I sought to acquire the episodes on DVD, (I had already seen most of 'em, but I had become a enthralled, go figure) I also played a few of the video games. It was then that I noticed some marked differences between the some of the voices and dialogue and the music in the episodes I found on DVD and some of the video games (in the video games it was just the voices) and what I remembered watching before and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Upon doing a bit of research I found the answer, which I already explained above, two different dubs. The problem is only the Funimation one is commercially available on DVD and apparently through torrent too. I've scoured torrents looking, I didn't care if it was legal, I mean apparently what I desired couldn't be acquired legally; but all I ever came across was Funimations work. I even tried emailing YTV (the channel that used to carry the shows) to see if they'd sell them to me (it was my cousin's suggestion), all I ever got out of that was a generic auto reply.
So there you have it. That's what I've been searching for, the dub of Dragon Ball Z & GT (and the original too it possible) as done by the Ocean Group.

never heard of the site, but I would trust it as far as I could throw it, with would be not at all sense it does not exist. and I doubt that you're going to find anything besides funimations, it's the most widely viewed and popular of the dubs.

Ok so now after doing my homework on this subject. I came up with nothing useful. ):
I did however once have a vast resorce of DBZ episodes for download. But I never knew of the multiple dubbings. And therefore can't really say if they're of any use.
I will have to bring my old PC back to life after R.I.P.ing. But sure I'll have it checked out for ya... So long as you don't expect quick results.

Also might I add. If you plan on doing the epic pilgrimage that is experiencing the Dragonball saga, then it really does help the epicness along if you go through the origional Dragonball before Z or GT.
I'll pm you with results when i get any~

Edit: After just a TINY bit more homework on the subject I found that there was only 50 or so episodes released by these chaps... IE sounds like the whole project flumped.

Yes I know all about following the proper progression of the series. You're talking to a dedicated die-hard here. I've seen most of the original Dragon Ball series except for 2 sagas. I blame that on the afore mentioned TV station and their annoying habit of reverting to reruns... er well you know what I mean, at the worst possible times. I've seen every episode of Z & GT.
I'd actually given up the search and resined myself to collecting those digitally remasted season collections that Funimation has been releasing that had the option for viewing in English with original Japanese music. I only happened to stumble across that site by accident.

Oh and fortunately I've done more research on it and Yes Funimation initially contracted Ocean to dub the first 50 odd episodes of DBZ and the first few movies, but that contract was dropped and Funimation redubbed it themselves shortly there after, this was sometime around 1994/95. However as I already mentioned, the Ocean Group also did a dubbing for broadcast in Canada (and the UK and some other places too) sometime around 2001 or so.

...Thanks anyway.

Ah, I think what you're looking for are the episodes and content that was seen as too mature?

I heard there was a BOMB of material cut out by funimation allright. I don't suppose this is your secret agenda behind all this? ;P

I found one episode by blue ocean btw xD
And it was supposedly aired in Ireland too... But I don't ever remember it :S

Does it give you four "torrents" with different bits of health?

Do not trust this site.
Apparently they have this thing of pretending to have the files you want up until the point they get your money.

No it was mostly nostalgia. That, and some things in the Funimation dub drove me nuts, most notably is Buu's voice. Funimation made him sound like a some kind of castrated school boy. *shiver*

That's kinda what I thought. I knew it was too good to be true. I did find it awfully suspicious that they could match my search EXACTLY.

Oh well the sight is bullshit if it does give the four torrents. In google (do to a heated debate with friends) "can you see neytiri's nipple in avatar" and it came up with "can you see neytiri's nipple in avatar torrent".
