So apparently Solidfiles isn't closing down now, though it all sounds kind of shady to me. They were complaining about losing money, now their offering free premium, better free speeds and less ads? fishy.

If u want another reason why i would like the torrent removed is overloading the server. Before anyone starts to complain or take apart my comment, this is from KBaraka and the rest of the staff. And my bad on download speed, the bandwidth would go do, leading to an overload if enough users were connected to the server. Yes, servers can handle a lot but, they all have their limits.
Reading the comments on that release: "Literally no QC, Aegisub keeps crashing so I had to write on notepad. Fix it up because it's probably super shitty. Can't even \n wtf?!"
Someone will probably do a proper upload when it gets past v.-2
Then restrict H1 torrents' tracker to UID based announce url. So only ppl from H1 accounts can dl them and u can ban that UID if someone shares your release outside H1.
By uploading H1 releases to a public tracker, you're reducing the need for ppl to support you by clicking on adf.ly links posted on H1. It doesn't matter that AT processes H1 torrents (automatic), because you already screwed up by uploading them to public torrent sites.
Hibike Euphonium 2 special 6 isn't on this site since it was never uploaded to Anidex or Tokyo Tosho but Nyaa.si has had it. Is it possible to fetch this? Thanks
That's right. hi10anime's server speed should actually increase instead of decreasing. It's obvious that the problem lies somewhere else. You know, money talks (⌒_⌒;) But at the end of the day, XLordnoro has some rights to request removing of the disputed file, IMAO.
It's funny that you talk about rules and permission when some of your encodes are done without the consent/knowledge of the original group. One of them is my release of Chiba Pedal ep. 5 and 6.

No, of course not. I just like people to support the site directly and since i didn't upload it, it violates the rules we have.
Only a select few are allowed to upload their work for hi10 on different sites like AT or TT

Here's somescreen shots of my post for hi10 with the edit view, only possible by staff and a pic server side showing that the original is stored on the server for hi10.
The CRC, filename, and file size are the exact same, not to mention it points directly to the server's location with the webseed. An anonymous user wouldn't be able to create the webseed and get it to properly seed from hi10's server unless they have access to it (knowing the location where the file is stored).
I'm happy to remove it, as long as you can provide something to show that you are the original submitter (more than just an anonymous comment that anyone could make).
However, I can't understand your reasoning here at all. The listing here has no effect on speeds of your server.
If the torrent stays active here it will cause the download speeds to slow down the server for hi10anime. I'm the one working on the series for hi10 so if people want to download my version please visit: hi10anime.com and search sukasuka.
Duplication between Anidex and Nyaa.si isn't really a problem, unless the poster actually generated two completely different torrents and posted it to both sites.
It's more re-posts where the submitter has created an entirely new torrent to the original (presumably because the original torrent has been lost), and due to the way torrents work, causes a completely different hash to be generated and can't be matched (de-duplicated) with the original. AniDex doesn't seem to have many of these, but there's a lot more on Nyaa.si.
What I can consider doing, is just fetch from a whitelist of users for now. Would anyone be able to list some posters I should fetch from Nyaa.si?

I want to thank AnimeTosho for simply existing. In an uncertain time for anime fansubs you're an important repository of information, not to mention a place that always seems to have DDL or links to series whose torrents have been abandoned. You're a great asset to every anime fan and I'll continue supporting you in any way I can.
May I ask how you're using the feed? If it's a torrent client, one would think that it'd be appropriate for the torrent client to scrape the trackers for the seed/leech count. If you're using some typical RSS reader, I presume you want those stats in the 'description' field (where DDL links are listed), I can understand (there's is a slight issue with it potentially being out of date, depending on how frequently the reader scrapes the feed, but I suppose it's probably not a big deal).
I've reduced the min infix length from 4 to 2, so the above should now work. RAM usage is 3x higher (T_T) so will need to see whether it gets kept though...
I've added a hidden parameter (I'll come up with a UI for it later) to enable it. After doing a search, add "&qx=1" to the URL to switch to Sphinx matching mode.

Hmm I get your point but I don't know, its such a crucial piece of information if you are trying to download something via torrent. Thanks for such a quick reply anyway. kudos for the site.
Tor uses layered encryption. Only the connection from the exit node to destination is unencrypted by Tor (but may still be encrypted, e.g. if you're using HTTPS).
VPNs have the exact same issue - it only encrypts from your point to the VPN server, and not beyond. VPNs and SSL are completely different and one shouldn't affect the other. If you're getting certificate issues when not using VPN, perhaps your ISP/network is attempting to tamper with your connection.
