    I use WBFS Manager because its the simplest. I don't drag and drop files I just click on the Browse button and find them after you have loaded the drive. If you download a wbfs file then you need to convert it to an iso as WBFS Manager won't load wbfs files though you would think so with a name like that. It does convert them back to wbfs as it adds them to the drive.

    Many say Wii Backup Manager does a good job but I don't think so. I always use WiiGameConverter_GXS if you Google it as its very simple to use.

    You have to format the drive to wbfs which means it can't be read by Windows thats the only disadvantage. It does show you the drive size and how much space you have on it along the bottom.

    My problem is that when i press the browse button it doesnt show the files ive downloded i have been launching the files then moving them to the desk top where i am putting them in a folder then i drag and drop into the wbfs manager, which is the best files to do this with as i have only been succseful with 1 files and i havent been able to do it with say a lot of rar files also where the best place for the games as i am using piratebay. Thanks again

    I don't know why your Browse button doesn't work as it remembers the last folder used unless you delete/move it afterwards. The Browse button is just a common dialog button which looks for specific file types to open, *.iso and *.rar. I assume it must extract the iso from the rar first. If its a multiple rar then it must use the same folder the original rar came from to find the others.

    We can't give links where to download these files from.

    Well if its in use that means its still downloading something is using it so wait for it to finish.

    So you download with azure?
