@admin I found something that might be interesting for animetosho:
Former Qiwi and Ranoz founder here, built both platforms myself from the ground up (before leaving due to bad platform management & care of the former partner and current owner), now back with a new & better development team to do things the way they were first intended to (build a reliable & superior file host).
We just launched Rootz.so, three weeks ago with my personal team of developers, fully focused on user feedback and experience. You’ve probably already seen some links in recent repacks of popular websites.
What Rootz essentially offers:
- File size, storage and bandwidth fully unlimited for backstage users. - 25gb maximum file size & unlimited uploads for anonymous users (anon files get deleted after 7 days of 0 downloads). - Unlimited bandwidth for uploaders & downloaders. - Zoom uploader support & Remote upload feature. - Permanent files, no expirations, no deletions for registered backstage users (must go through application, easy and fast). - Ad-free downloads (soon we'll likely add ads without banning adblock but funding is unlimited so it's not really required for now).
If you’re active with repacks uploads or got any questions, just drop a quick PM here or on Discord (@rootzso), will take minutes to get set up on the backstage ;)
TT has gone up and down a lot the past few months, it's usually just a few minutes of downtime most of the time, sometimes longer, never longer than an hour in practice, but it always comes back up, it's just they have some issues on their end.
Both of these are x264, which is a software encoder ran on CPU. The settings aren't necessarily that good, but streamers give it lots of bitrate so it works fine.
Bait? Sounds like facts to me. All the releases found here use hardware encodes as a source. Some software encodes are better than others and filtering can only do so much.
Yup, Erai, Subsplease, Varyg and others are all hardware encodes as well as BDs. It must be fun to be an anti-hardware snob with all the limited choices of what to DL. There are tons of poorly encoded software releases also.
Unfortunately they don't explain why NVENC releases "should be avoided at all costs" - it'd likely be much more informative if the comment did that. Even better, cut out the "should be avoided at all costs" part and let the reader decide.
Did you just admit they are right? Mhh yes, you just did. lol.
Also less downloads compared to what? Their number of downloads, which means nothing anyway but you mentioned it so let's look at it, is already super low, heh.
Care to explain in what way those comments are not useful? They make unaware people that those releases are made with NVENC and should be avoided at all costs.
"[INDEX]" comments are not really helpful. "ashamed" "trash" "tricked" are very poor descriptions of the problems with these files. The fact that Nyaa removed these files is the only strong indication of real problems.
Adding crap like that would make the site slower. Next you will be wanting a fancier interface that would slow down things even more. This site is fast and clean. I prefer it the way it is.
VARYG uploads to TokyoTosho seem to not include "multi-audio" in the name, and for uploads on both Nyaa and TT, AT prefers the latter. It seems like VARYG's presence on TT is inconsistent, leading to mixed naming conventions across their uploads here.
You can try to work around this using a search that combines both naming schemes (or just perform two searches).
(maybe I'll modify the search to look at both Nyaa and TT titles, though that could itself cause some confusion)
