U can include Jumbofiles or DDlanime.. the links in DDl anime will not be deleted.. since it was meant to download anime.. also jumbofiles is safer than mediafire..links will not be delted that quick.. Please consider them
It's been mentioned a few times in the past, and I've got it on my consideration list (along with some other hosts).
Difficult to answer your question exactly. The script records where it got up to, so resuming should start from where it left off. However, some files that have failed to upload won't be retried, as the script deletes files that it's done with - I expect that most files aren't in this situation though. If you want them now and don't mind torrenting though, might be a good idea to go ahead :)
I seem to have found the issue with Mediafire - I'll admit that it's a careless mistake of mine when adding upload-to-account support, where I forgot to fully restore the internal state of the Mediafire uploader after an upload, causing most part 2 links to fail. So now the server will try to process through its upload queue then I'll resume the updates when there's less load.
How bout ifile? Its kinda like mediafire with its support for d/ling more than 1 file at a time.
Btw when the updates come back, will it include the missing stuff from when it got disabled to working again or just the new ones? Just asking so i can just torrent them now while there are still alot of seeders. Tnx ^_^
Really sorry for the issues guys. Have been really busy IRL over the weekend so couldn't attend to much here. It also seems a failsafe I put in place didn't activate and I have to check if anything's been broken as a result.
I really want to get Mediafire working, but it looks like a bit of a dire situation with MF failing on some files, but not others (which makes it difficult to identify the problem). Interestingly, it seems that .002 files (that is, the 2nd part) have higher chances of failing. UploadSeeds seems to have a very high failure rate, so I'm canning them.
If I can't get Mediafire figured out soon, I guess the interim solution would be to skip Mediafire and use Jumbofiles/DDLAnime instead for now.
No, the waiting time should be just 60 seconds, unless you (your IP) has downloaded something from there not long ago. Why not consider create a free account. That ought to help.
Jumbofiles is definitely much much more stable now than when it was last used here, it seems. Instead of less than 100 KBps I now get consistently in MBps range from Jumbofiles. So with mediafire no longer a viable option, maybe it's time to give Jumbolfiles another go considering it does not have wait times and offers resumable downloads even to free users.
To my knowledge, all of their servers are located outside of the US's jurisdiction, so they do not plan on being compliant with DMCA takedown requests.
Yeah, to be quite honest, I don't like the skipping either. Ideally, everything would be mirrored over, and it's something I'm working on. There's just currently bandwidth constraints that I have to work within at the moment (not to mention unstable hosts making things more difficult).
If you have an idea for a better detection algorithm, I'm all ears. Thanks for your suggestion otherwise.
You're just trying to be an arrogant little snot instead of paying attention to what I'm saying here. First, I already know there are other means and places to get these things, so that has nothing to do with anything. It was a suggestion about how to improve this particular site, if the goal is indeed to give more convenient access to BD encodes through filehosts.
Second, it's not about a lot of files, as I explained in my original post. For instance, their latest release of Hanasaku Iroha only has three files in it, a single volume at 720p, but still gets seen as a batch. Three files is not what I'd call a lot; it's only the episodes from one disc. I can certainly live with that, and get it through links elsewhere or not from a filehost at all, but again that has nothing to do with what I'm trying to say. It would be easier to just get them here, which might make this site a better, more convenient place, which is what I thought this page was for.
Instead, you just want to say, basically, "hey look at me, I'm not a dumbass and a crybaby like you who thinks this is the only place on the whole web to download anime LOL XD!!!1" Get it through your head already, I'm only talking about what would make this site a better place to get BD encodes, and only because that was stated as the primary goal of this site.
What difference does that make? Nearly everything here either already has or eventually will get DDL links in other places, but not always as quickly, and usually only on one or two of the newest and least stable filehosts.
"I find most of these other sites tend to only upload files from a small number of groups (possibly to get their posting up as fast as possible) and almost never upload releases such as those sourced from a BD, which was why I decided to start up AnimeTosho."
However, there's one issue:
"AnimeTosho does not upload all files posted - it skips the following: ... * Whatever the script considers to be a 'batch', over 1.5GB in size"
This causes a problem, particularly with Coalgirls, where a single volume with three episodes even at 720p can easily exceed that. Yes, I realize they're notorious for bloated encodes. However, they're also prolific, and release BD encodes for many series that nobody else bothers with. Couldn't there be more intelligent batch detection? I don't use torrents very often, but it seems like many batches are marked as such, and the only things I could see having a batch of two or three files would be OVAs of that length. Other than that, I love this site!
