Admin is alive! And should be enjoying a nice vacation at the beach but isn't! How wonderful!
I'll add a little speculation, for any interested: If I were running TT (and I am not) I might take the opportunity of a bit-torrent disruption to take down the site and re-configure it as Nyaa did, to avoid the legal liabilities of running a bit-torrent tracker. Not too long ago in a major case involving Pirate'sBay, the high court in Sweden ruled that running a bit-torrent tracker is by itself a violation of copyright law. So Nyaa re-configured to avoid that liability.
If any want more detail, Daiz, aka Underwater, aka Nyaa Moderator, aka "Slimey", wrote a good summary of the legal and technical issues. You can find it at the Underwater site.
err.. i don't really get what you say Anonymous... T^T so in other word the site is stop updating until unknown time..? (somehow i feel this english is wrong, forgive me for that -__-)
I am around, if anyone was wondering. I am completely unaffiliated with TokyoTosho, so I have absolutely no influence on what goes on with it.
With it being down, there's really not too much I can do about it. I've been waiting to see if it will come up soon, but it hasn't so far. I'm considering adding Nyaa support and disabling TokyoTosho for now, however, this requires quite a number of changes for it to work, and I'm rather busy, so this can take a while.
Here are a couple of facts: 1. The last day that admin commented in this feedback page is the last day that files were updated here. Being that it is summer and vacation time for many, it is possible he went away for vacation. My alternate theory is that he was taken out by a drone rented by the US Dept of Commerce.
2. The day that TT went down is the exact same day that the makers of bit-torrent went on "strike". Here's the news as found on the TorrentFreak.com homepage (a news site about torrents):
July 16, 2012: "OpenBitTorrent and PublicBitTorrent, the two largest BitTorrent trackers on the Internet, are on strike. Both trackers are going offline to protest the unresponsiveness of the makers of uTorrent who were asked to introduce a simple protocol enhancement that would save the non-profit trackers thousands of dollars. As a result of the protest, many people are having trouble downloading files on BitTorrent."
If unrelated, that's one heck of a coincidence! Now I have some hope that everything may return to normal. But it's just a hope that these two possibilities explain our current situation.
Can AnimeTosho monitor Jishaku Toshokan for now? (with Anime only, EN only, 18+ filtered)? I can posts some torrents from nyaa and this would make AT work again during during TT's downtime.
yes comfun does it for usenet, maybe it might be more effective to leech from usenet and then upload to ddl but you'd need ipv6 for that or pay for an account. see http://fanzub.com/?q=@poster comfun
I do not know when TT will come back online. Even if it comes back, it will miss some torrents released since yesterday. You can head over to otakucop.com for now for your HTTP/DDL links.
come on , he's a thug character on Sword Art Online, sci-fi like accel world, buat waaaay better and emotional (Personaly..) you should watch it Yogicat-san i really recomend this anime, even though there is only ep 1 for now -__- anyone know when Sword Art Online aired in japan??
FYI from FFF-peeps fansub: "Today, we’re releasing our latest endeavour, peeps, an automated 8bit re-encoding script.
We’ve asked for feedback on IRC on more than one occasion, and monitored torrent download stats between 8 and 10bit files. Roughly 30% of the leechers still prefer 8bit over 10bit when given the choice. The demand for 8bit is still present. However, our previous method of encoding did not fully serve the 8bit community.
The new encodes will be compatible with hardware players, the PS3, and most mobile phones. It is fully hardsubbed, so playback issues with softsubbing will be eliminated. You can expect all FFF releases to be re-encoded within an hour or so. However, we’re not just stopping there. We’re going to re-encode releases by other groups and we’re doing every airing show. That includes Gundam AGE, Suite Precure and shounen shows like One Piece, Naruto and Sket Dance.
Over the next few days, we’ll gradually release the backlog shows that already aired before we started the script. All re-encodes will be available via torrent, DDL and XDCC on our IRC channel."
I suggest Firefox users should use addon RefControl to prevert MF or other hosters detecting where the links come frome. Basically it will fool MF with false referrer or no referrer at all, to reduce chance of its banning the whole site from using it, and bypass prohibition on already banned sites.
Opera has a similar feature built-in: to disable sending referrer information, hit F12 to launch the quick preference menu. Here, uncheck the option “Send Referrer Information”. But I don't suggest permanently disabling this because of protential problems.
(I heard) Chrome also has a similar addon. (But saa~, I only use Firefox)
No (see above) but they may as well be as there's rarely ever a successful upload. Do a search for Peejeshare on the home page - there's still some links getting made.
They still get uploaded to, but they're failing very often (largely getting disk space full errors). I kind of do wonder how well they maintain their systems...
