Something I've noticed is the exact same files will get skipped if the release group puts them on nyaa as a batch (which is more and more common with the decline of broadcast TV and the rise of anime being dropped onto streaming services in 13-episode chucks), whereas they wouldn't if they'd been put on nyaa one-file-per-torrent.
Used to be that a massive torrent was always an after-the-fact batch, but this is less and less the case thanks to Netflix.
The question has certainly been asked before. Unfortunately, I don't know of any good way to synchronise updates (the consumer-level sync tools typically don't work well for mass distribution).
Using the database dumps, it should be possible to build a tool to retrieve all files and sync them daily, but this does require someone to write such a tool.
I wanted to know if AnimeTosho would be able to upload all their extracted archives of subtitles/attachments/etc somewhere (like maybe Google Drive, Archive.org, or maybe something like SyncThing). Along with Kitsunekko, I think AnimeTosho is probably one of the largest and most important archives of fansubs on the internet today. There are so few places one can find archived copies of subtitles from multiple groups for the same series, most general subtitle websites barely have any anime subs available. And seeing how just recently a lot of the old DDL links for series are going to disappear, it made me aware of how precious this data is and how easy it is to lose it. Loads of the original torrents these subs/attachments came from are long since dead, and this site is one of the few available sites to download them from.
To preserve all of this important data I'd love to see (and I'm sure others would too) a complete archive of all the available subs/attachments, downloadable as one large compressed archive that gets updated maybe once every other month or so (Kitsunekko offers a similar downloadable archive), or some sort of folder we could sync access to with SyncThing (or some similar software). Its kinda like asking for a really useful piece of software to open source itself, so that way in the worst case all this valuable data doesn't just disappear and the work can continue.
Anyway, thank you so much for running such a useful website that I literally use every day! Keep up the good work! ^_^
Skipping policy: Since our bandwidth use and backlogs of shows waiting for ddl-links are both up quite a bit, I don't see AT increasing the torrent skipping size any time soon.
Help out?: We appreciate your appreciation, but we're good for what we want to do. Thanks anyways.
Really appreciate your site and have been using it for years. Are there any chances of increasing the file size of the skipping policy? Any ways I could help out?
Looks like a bug in the mkvextract being used here - thanks for reporting. I've updated to a newer version, so hopefully that fixes it. Newer extracts will use this newer version.
that's strange. i am on current version 64-bit. mkvtoolnix-gui throws parsing error on the Dummy element tag. i figured it might be something to do with the software admin might be using. but if he too is using mkvextract then idk why mkvtoolnix-gui refuses to open xml on my end.
hey admin i download attachments regularly from here, the chapters have a dummy element entry because of which mkvtoolnix-gui refuses to open it. i have to manually remove it so that mkvtoolnix-gui accepts it. a couple of examples https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/file/johnny-eng...mkv.788279 this one was uploaded today https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/asakura-te...9.n1307443 this one was what made me finally dig into this some others that i downloaded did not have the dummy element entry
the media files themselves i downloaded then self-extracted chapters using gmkvextractgui and mkvcleaver for comparison. in all cases the chapter files opened fine with mkvtoolnix-gui and they didn't have dummy element entry.
I talked to the owner of Anirena and this is what he said:
"If I know what IP range they are connecting with, I could check if they got hit by a IP block, I had a lot of torrents non-Asian being posted on AniRena, and I block these ranges from uploading. When they can provide the IP range they use to scrape, I can put them in a whitelist. It might be for them not a reason, for me it is. If their IP is situated in the IP range a spammer was active with, then they were collateral damage so to speak."
if you can provide the above info here then that will be good and if you cannot comment it here then you can drop a mail on:
Jeez.... Such infantilism... I call for a cessation of the pugnacious misanthrope ways . No need to languish and self-immolation. We can all be more amiable and surmount.
Haha, propaganda simply does not work with autismos. The chans are like the killing fields of the paid shill. There was one that cracked a was screaming about how at the end of every shift they'd feel like they made some headway into manipulating you lot, then he'd come in for his next shift and it was all back to square one, nothing sticks with you lot, you're probably too dumb for propaganda to work, or too smart, or a bit of both...
TF are probably just ramping up any assumed drama for clicks, but you are right in thinking that they would be a target for infiltration, and that infiltration could be used to generate propeganda. The number one goal of propeganda is almost always to convince your enemy to give up. Convince them that the fight is already lost, and that their actions are futile. In such cases it is wise to be on the lookout for drama, intimidation, fear and in-fighting as these can be used to lower morale.
AT has nothing to do with what gets torrented and anyone who does probably isn't reading AT's tech support pages. Your best bet would be to ask for info at the previous dub provider's website, KaiDubs https://discord.gg/JUFynz5
I only pay attention to events. To me, interpreting style is a compound joke. One of the many problems with psycho-babble is it has nothing to do with the actual facts or events or even a reasonable interpretation of facts and events. It's just one person's attempt to interpret the supposed motives of the writer, which don't really matter to me anyways.
A system like the one suggested could actually turn a profit as long as it maintained exclusivity, i.e. as long as it was the main goto for old files. It would work even better by sticking to certain catchment groups, in this case, anime.
Says a guy responding a whole 6 mins after the post hes responding too. If someone here responds to a post right away its suspect, but a whole six minutes later is... Kosher?
? The article reads like its anti-file sharing. Do you think this MPA of yours doesn't have the ability to take control of a site like that and start writing oohwooscaryyoubetterwatchout style articles? The fact that the tone of the article is all oohwwooo scary bad guys and written in a child like manner is a dead giveaway - A standard psyop manipulation technique is to talk (/write) as if you are talking to a child. It can induce responses in certain people that allow the theme of what you are saying/rriting to sinkdirectly into the persons subconscious. You should look into it, it could save your life. Most other people reading this are probably immune to such tactics as the nwo sith control techniques really only work on the weak minded. You can see these techniques use daily on any covid segment of any major news outlet.
Concerning Hakata Ramen torrents, I found some examples and admin checked them out. He found that we were being blocked by their primary host, for no reason he could see. Unless they fix it or start posting on Nyaa or Anidex, some of their torrents won't make it here.
