3. What is Streambox VCR?
! WARNING ! : PLEASE NOTE THAT STREAMBOX VCR IS ILLEGAL TO USE IN THE UNITED STATES SO DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE US!!!!
Streambox is a program that can be used to download offsite download links, like the f4 music videos, but doesn\'t work for the Meteor Garden episodes.
The following instructions for download and usage are from OnlyF4:

1.Download Streambox from http://www.geocities.com/aphrael07/StreamBox/StreamBoxVCR.zip
2. Unzip the contents into a single folder (let\'s call it fldr).
3. Inside the folder, there should be 3 main files: - fr_svcr1b31_crack.zip
StreamBoxVCR1.0Beta3.1StealthMulderFix.zip
vcr.exe
4. Unzip "fr_svcr1b31_crack.zip" and "StreamBoxVCR1.0Beta3.1StealthMulderFix.zip" into \'fldr\'.
5. Now there should be two more folders inside \'fldr\': -
fr_svcr1b31_crack
StreamBoxVCR1.0Beta3.1StealthMulderFix

6. Inside the folder "fr_svcr1b31_crack", there is a program called \'fr_svcr1b31_crack.exe\'.
7. Double click on that program. Under \'Drop target file...\', enter the path to \'vcr.exe\'. Click \'Start\'. You should get a dialogue window telling u the crack has been successfully applied.
8. Streambox is now installed.

Using Streambox
1. Double click on \'vcr.exe\'.
2. (This being the first time you are using the application, you will need to register your account.) You should encounter a registration window. There\'s 4 main fields that need to filled in: -
Name
Email
Password
Confirm Password

Ignore the Http Proxy thing. After this, you can use the Streambox application already.
3. In Streambox, under \'View\' -> \'Settings\'. Under the \'Time\' tab, check \'Unlimited Attempts\'.
4. Now, copy the ftp/mms link you want to download. In Streambox, click \'Edit\' -> \'Paste Link\' -> Paste that link you have copied under \'Location\'. Enter your desired file destination & file name. 'Protocol' should be set to 'Auto'. Click 'Ok'. Streambox will start downloading the file itself. When the file is completely downloaded, the status will show 'Received'.

4. What is Faithful 4ever\'s short url?
http://f4.azn.nu is Faithful 4ever\'s short url. If this url fails to work, please use our MAIN url. However, it seems like the redirection seems to work almost all the time.

5. How do I download the AIM buddy icons? It won\'t work!
Downloading the AIM buddy icons are simple. The instructions are on that page. Anyway, all you have to do is click on the buddy icon and in a minute or so, a pop up alert window will appear asking for your confirmation that you would like to change your buddy icon. Click \'Ok\' and the AIM Preference window will appear on the buddy icons section. Click \'Ok\' and that\'s it!!! If when you click on the icon and you are directed to "Page Not Found" or a similar page, then you don\'t have AIM installed in your computer. Even if AIM is not running, when you click on the buddy icon, you will be logged in...or you should at least.

6. How do you use the wallpapers?
Its simple. Once you find the wallpaper that you would like to use, choose the resolution of your computer, either 1024 X 768 or 800 x 600. When the wallpaper loads, just right-click the wallpaper and choose "Set as Background Image" (if you have Internet Explorer 6.0) or "Set as Wallpaper".

7. Why don\'t you have MP3s available for download on your site?
First of all, it takes up a lot of space and we are hosted for FREE by our kind host who pays for the domain. But the most important reason is that distribution of them are illegal. I don\'t know all the details but still, support F4 by buying their CDs. Hehe...however, we do provide links to other websites where you can LISTEN to them. The links are in our download section.

8. Where can I download F4\'s MP3s?

11. Is the news posted on Faithful 4ever TRUE?
We can\'t guarantee anything. I\'m sure we all know that sometimes, or a lot of the times, (I don\'t know...) reporters twist the story in order to attract readers. Some things are just rumors and some things are true. That\'s up to you to decide. We will not make up any news or rumors. We post what we find.

13. Can I post the translations that you have translated? (This includes lyrics, news, dramas, etc.)
You MUST ask for permission. Once you recieve permission, you must credit us on the page that you post the translations. Another option is just to hyperlink to Faithful 4ever.

14. Can I post all your drama translations/screenshots/midis/quizzes/lyric translations/etc.?
NO. You may never take ALL of anything on this website because we worked really hard to translate, gather information, takes screenshots, etc. For drama translations/summaries, we do not want you to ask for more than 2. This is what we get asked the most. As for the other content, you can email us about it. We also didn\'t translate Meteor Garden I or Meteor Garden II episodes. It was translated with a lot of hardwork by Mandy. We have posted them on Faithful 4ever with Mandy\'s permission so please ask for her permission if you would like to post them. Of course, when you do recieve permission, and I\'m sure she\'ll tell you this, credit her and not Faithful 4ever!

15. Even though your site is working, sometimes some of the content doesn\'t work. Why?
Some of our images and animations are hosted on free webproviders so when these webproviders are down, you will not be able to see the images or animations because they are not hosted on our host\'s server. Also, free webproviders only provide a certain amount of bandwidth per month/day/hour. Sometimes, the page will be back up in an hour, sometimes, the next day.

16. How do I download/use WinAmp skins?
Instructions are provided on the WinAmp page. Click [Download] under the skin that you would like to download. Download it to your Winamp Skins folder (C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins - This may not always be your skins directory) If you have Winamp version 2.04 and above, you do not have to unzip the file. If you have a version older than 2.04, than you must unzip it. When you unzip it, the files will reside in its only sub-folder.
Once you\'ve downloaded, if you have Winamp2, while Winamp is running, press ALT+S and select the skin you would like to use. Or you can go to the Main Menu > Skins and choose the skin you would like to use. In the newer Winamp3, the keyboard shortcut Alt+S does not work so you can just go to the main menu and click skins. Then, choose the skin you would like to use.

17. Can I be an affiliate of Faithful 4ever?
If you have a fansite that is dedicated to F4, Meteor Garden, Hana Yori Dango, something related to one of those, you can apply. However, we won\'t guarantee that you\'ll get accepted. Because we already have many affiliates, the chances of us accepting more is pretty low, but you can always try^.~
