http://bakabt.me/torrent/147544/D.Gray-man.html <- for those Forum-stalkers that do not leave the confines of the forums.
i have looked into the links htears has provided but i'm coming up either dry or dusty.
i've done a few so far.
htears:
Did you try the fserve laplacian in #lurk @ irchighway.net ? It has the official files ( + names ). If you don't know how to use a fserve, see this and this.

As anyone could easily tell, laplacian does NOT have the original file names (using the file list in one of htear's previous posts in spoiler tags as reference). It would be a true miracle if all those groups followed the same naming pattern. For example, Whatever names their files like this (see their bot list):
--- Quote ---DGray-man_Ch153[Whatever].rar
--- End quote ---
or silvermask & Franky-House like this (see e.g. here):
--- Quote ---DGrayMan_174__silvermask_FH__.zip
--- End quote ---
and so on and so on. Different groups even don't spell the manga title itself the same way. I also doubt that Timcanpi, Timcampi and Timecanpi are 3 distinct groups. :P So much for laplacian having original file names. See, laplacian even doesn'seem to have the original files - Whatever releases in RAR, laplacian has them listed as ZIPs (I don't assume he's as stupid as to change all file extensions to .zip).
Hunting for original files AND names would be really hard in this case - so many groups, some are inactive, some removed their releases after DGM became licensed ... Waste of time, in my experienced opinion (having collected hundreds of GB of scanslations through years) the important thing is to have best possible releases, properly tagged with the group and packed in a way in which it will be easiest to read.

i think i've said on this topic here (or a comment somewhere on my request for D.G-M) that i'm attempting to use subfolders/scanlated images to name the archives. remember, a number of these groups, a: dropped D.G-M, b: died, or c: have D.G-M as a previous project but no longer carry a list of file names/sizes.

I knew some ****** like you would point that out. IIRC( except for the previous comment ), i've always said that laplacian has 99% of the times official files. I myself have dealt this issue with many manga. But the mods/others were always there to help me. And to remind you, i remember saying that laplacian changes the file names ( if you look at some of the earlier comments or the quide ).
As for the reason why i said such a comment was that i know the official names are tough to find. But the ones i found on laplacian are the closest to the original( barring some cases ) and the mods may approve it. But as you pointed out, the original files/names can be found on the scanlator's bot ( for some chapters ).
Also, i've always said that laplacian is your last option if you don't find the official files on scanlator's site/forum/bots( refer to guide ). I was assuming that a10112 had checked all the scanlators site/forum/bots. If he didn't check it, its not my fault.
Btw, instead of arguing with me, why don't you argue with the mods? Psyren will be more than pleased to give you an answer ( if he's around ). All i am trying to do is give a10112 the best advice possible. I don't read shounen but i am still trying my level best to help him. And you've collected hundred's of GB of manga, haven't you? Why don't you help him ? According to you, all my rules( which are the rules set by the admins/mods ) are lame and should be ignored so that the users can upload whatever they like( which may be far from being original files ). Most people who upload manga here follow rules ( Dille, midhras,other recent uploaders ), so you can't say that its difficult to follow them. And i've always said that mods/others are always there to help the uploader if he faces difficulty and if the task is close to impossible, the mods will allow exceptions. But this doesn't give the uploader the right to ignore the rules and be lazy.
