Thanks for reporting that.
I'm unable to upload to Clicknupload at all right now, so I'm guessing it's a problem on their side unfortunately.

@Admin
Almost none of the files have Clicknupload as an option for last 25rs. Maybe needs a reset?

Yeah, the verification doesn't actually do anything here.

I can't imagine how it could.  Your browser can probably keep track of your logins and passwords.

Aha, this explains why I didn't receive the activation email just now when I updated my email address. I assume that it doesn't matter if the email is verified or not?

The host is blocking outgoing SMTP, so no email functionality works unfortunately.
It's probably easier to just register another account, if that helps.

I was trying to recover my old account here, but i'm not receiving the e-mail. Tried yesterday and today a few times and nothing, checked the spam folder as well.

Ooh, I see - they were newly posted to ADex/TT, and then skipped because they were originally posted to Nyaa. They don't all have Nyaa links here (and when they do, I don't usually look at the ADex/TT links), so I didn't make the leap. Duh.

Seems to be fixed now.

There seems to be an issue with storage, starting around 18:16 NZBs or Torrent return a 404 when you try to download them.

Yeah, it'd be clearer if the system could specify a reason - something that could be improved if I ever get around to it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Reposts are skipped, which applies to all the examples given. Usually there aren't many; the recent postings aren't typical.
Original Nyaa links to the examples you gave:
https://nyaa.si/view/6707
https://nyaa.si/view/14714
https://nyaa.si/view/14713

Yeah, I've read the FAQ, which calls out the cases of 'too big' , 'remux' and 'duplicate'. None of those seem to apply to the links above (which I don't care about, just pulled from the front page), so it might be nice to know what skip criteria applied to any given torrent.

On a related note, while skipping BD remuxes is sensible, it seems DVD remuxes get skipped too, which is perhaps a bit harsh.

You can read details about what gets skipped here in the FAQ.  Basically, AT just fetches new torrents, not copies of old ones.

What's up with all the old torrents from 2008-2010 (e.g. https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/db-_bleach...vi.1769978 ) showing up from Nyaa lately (and getting skipped)?

There are also a bunch of torrents getting skipped for some reason from ADex/TT (e.g. https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/d-o-m-o-ma...-6.d545308 , https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/magical_fa...-5.1769979 ) that seem new but may be related to the above.

It would be nice if a more specific reason was given when deciding to skip a torrent (too big? duplicate? batch?), because sometimes it's not obvious.

I generally wouldnt post news like this here but since it is regarding a Japanese animation studio
Trial date for Shinji Aoba trial date set for September 5th 2023.
Ruling set for January 25th 2024.
For those that don't know of him everyone in Japan knows his name.
He is charged with mass murder via arson of Kyoto Animation Co. killing 36 and injuring 34 (on July 18th 2019)
Kyoto Animation has released a lot highly rated of fan favorites.
Shinji Aoba was apparently upset that the studio for stealing his work. No clue if they did it or not. Even if they had done it doesnt warrant what he did.

Thanks for looking into this more. A few things:

* you can remove the '?s=#' at the end of the URL to remove (not render) the subtitles
* pixel-identical PNGs can have different sizes due to the compression used (the screenshot renderer here actually uses a fast PNG compressor which likely results in larger sizes than the typical PNG encoders (i.e. opposite to what you're seeing))
* you can do a pixel level comparison and examine the differences
* note that PNG uses RGB colour, so the YCrCb 4:2:0 -> RGB renderer can vary the output (e.g. different chroma upsampling, rounding, dither etc) - in some respect this can be considered 'lossy', though it's ultimately unavoidable (since a to-RGB conversion needs to happen somewhere). This means that you can get slight differences depending on the renderer

The renderer here uses libswscale for colour conversion, using a bicubic chroma upscaler with the 'full_chroma_int' and 'accurate_rnd' options. Everything else is default.

You can post an example comparison to demonstrate what should be improved if you wish.

Hello Admin,

After you added the correction for BT.709, I do see a huge difference compared to before as the screenshot appears less altered.
Though, I still wonder if there isn't some loss because the "lossless" extraction of a frame on my side makes a way bigger png than the one from AT's screenshot ?

I thought that maybe it's due to the hardsubbing of the image ? Or maybe some extra compression of png files from your server ?

I appreciate what you did already and I hope we can figure out how to make it look even more "like it".

Thanks again <3 !

Oops, I responded to the wrong comment.

I can see that you have a particular way of approaching things, but hopefully you can see that others may approach things differently. I appreciate the input you bring, but I don't see a large enough issue to warrant further changes at this stage.

Thanks.  AT's only MAL connection are their website links are copied from the anidb page.  Those links should be functional again whenever.

Admin: You may well know by now, but MAL has been hacked (again) so if you have any background calls to their API they're probably going to start failing if they haven't already.
Just FYI.

And sry for being a bother, but this does indeed concern in the end also all that post to new ones. Also generally someone might have even a better idea. But thanks for telling me to go away, is it supposed that way?

What aggravation? Maybe I've been missunderstood? And I dont get how it still cant be clear that there are improvements that could be made for newcomers rather than even in the very nicest words basically tell "your post is a waste of effort and time, there are sources you could have read, go elsewhere", while the current implentation to prevent that can easilly be missed and seems useless in those cases. Guess I am speaking some foreign language.

Most importantly, usenet has nothing that I want.  I don't know how it entered the conversation, but I'm not interested in anything anyone has to say about it.  

But enjoy talking to each other.

Being bothered by comments is bad.  It would be better for some people to use the mirror site and avoid pointless aggravation.  If you want to help someone by responding to their comments, that's fine.  If you don't want to, that's fine too.

I think there is a difference in some heavy difference in some small text one is unlikely to read and some readable oneliner, probably bold, green, popping in to confirm a change. So I dont agree with the missuse of "nothing important"

I said maybe - I can't remember. But if - it was def. after writing already. And that's the point. Elsewhere, if you got s.t. to read on before, you typicall have a checkbox at the very least. I think it's better to not have that but you should be able to read helpful info before you're going to send it. I hope that point is clear?

Idk maybe its also helpfull if the text would be above the Msg. May no additional line but the infotext turns green once writing. I am bad at ideas what could actually be wise on design, just ideas throwing in.

As you point out, the problem with placeholders is that they disappear the moment you enter anything. And I don't see a "thank you" line really clarifying anything - as you say "nothing important, right?".

You yourself said that you saw the text, just chose to ignore it. Which to me says that it's quite visible as it is, it's just a question of user motivation.

Personally, I don't ascribe that much importance to the text at this stage. If commenters not reading it becomes a major issue, it can be addressed then - I don't see any need to do anything now.

Hm, I dont rly think so. Well let me explain what I thought back than: "I simply didnt take note of that text. Maybe took note of it when searching for submit button. But I mean it so small, nothing important, right? Who cares. There is nothing I have to confirm to agree to. I've wrote all that already so lets give it a go." The changes would probably not lead to any differnt behaviour.
As placeholder it would be directly visible no matter if the window is small, you might have visual problems, ... whatever as it will be same place/size as your main text/what you're about to write. And the script (well terms might be even too harsh, may "Thank you for understanding what the comment section is for" simply s.t.) to inform you that there is some usefull info -in case you imediately did click and start to write-, which might save you the time to ask, wait and get a reply that might demotivate you.

Usenet has been around longer than any other file host/archive. As well as more diversity than any other when it comes to what's saved on it. All accessible to every member.  But it seems to have the least amount of advertising. That or google is trying to hide it from net surfers because it has more than any other host does.

My DeBrid is totallly anon. all users stay behind their firewall making sure were completely masked. subscribers can keep files for 500 torrents stored on account, regardless of file sizes. and can acess them thru a streaming app if desired.  $30 for 10mo. It's hard to let go  But now that i've got fiber optic (500MBit down/up)  looking to get a usenet account. Still haven't decided on which one. Anything long term can't be rushed.  Choice is important.  

Thanks for pointing that out. The first two are now marked as deleted to reflect the source. Unfortunately the third is still available at source, but hopefully your comment is enough to warn users.

What are you looking for exactly?
Appreciate the offer, though I likely won't take you up on it. Still, if you provide more details, I can evaluate it more wholesomely.

In general, I make a point of not taking on too much. AT isn't about satisfying everyone's wants - if it's quite feasible/doable, it might happen, otherwise I strongly suggest others take on the job.

If you're looking for the Usenet upload script, it's freely available here.

ADMIN  !!!

Its up to you, but these have been pulled from NYAA already.  The dub audio is off by 7 seconds due trimming its funi logo from the video but not the audio. The original audio is fine Once is a mistake but 3 times in a row. Thats....

Thanks for always looking ut for us

Thanks for the suggestion. I've slightly adjusted the styling - does that work better?
I didn't really want it to be too 'in your face', as it's meant to be more of a gentle guideline.

I don't recall asking for your input

Usenet doesn't count as an archive to me.  At five years expected file life it is neither fish nor fowl.

Usenet has two strange qualities:

1. The only download method where members try to recruit.
2. The only download method where advocates aren't willing to do anything.  Seems like it would be easy to rent a seed box and upload if they wanted to.

The anon hopes you have don't pass scrutiny for me.

There are methods to stay completely anon, but that's not the point here. Usenet offers retention unseen on any other place, it is by far the best archival tool for everyone, not the most accessible, but if a ddl link is dead someone with access to usenet can just redownload and share once again.

Yeah sure, educational. But I think that line is pretty easy to understand, still many do ask: "Anime Tosho provides a mirror of torrents and is not the source. Please understand that uploaders/submitters may not read comments here, so you should check the Source Links section near the top of this page if you wish to contact them"
Also "Expired links do NOT get reuploaded as files are deleted after we process them" is quite clear. That "told to" is the problem. Is it nessecary to sush others away on their first post here, quite the many times hours latter with a simple that doesnt belong here, while it had been clear on the lines below?

Of course there will always be those not reading anything regardless how much you might even would force them. But again its quite invisible at the very least on desctop, phone is some zoomed in but you might just see it once you search the send button.
Also note that this could be added to feedback page too, as ppl ask, though I admit rarely here. But it probably would need a slightly adapted text on what the feedback is for.

I believe well over 90% are here for ddl.  I wouldn't ever use a paid service and leave a trail like with usenet.  One day I plan to walk away, anon to the happy end.

offering to help with the usenet stuff actually ensures longevity as those files will rarely get taken down, unlike a ddl service (even a self hosted one)

I think the mirror is an education issue, not font size.  I don't know if there is any better way to explain it.

On other fronts, I think people are pretty aware and compliant.  For example, when told about reuploads they don't continue to request them.

there are also problems like losing ddl services.  Many ddl are not available now to AT due to it's current load.

It would be better if you thought about offered your own private ddl from your own website.   Others have done than in the past, like Tibb.

admin san can u please up the limits of downloading. more than happy to provide a bandwidth server with big enough storage
also please post the script on how u upload the whole folder without zipping it with pars n stuff

Yeah, the problem is expecting first users reading through FAQ is probably a bit too much. And the infos on episodes are actualyl short and informative but just not visible enough. So they simply ask because they dont understand at is only a mirror.

I like your optimism about getting people to read and comply with instructions under any conditions, but I believe those who do do, and those who don't don't.

Instead, the value of the instructions  and the FAQ are to give quick definitive responses when needed to those who don't. (example: reupload links? No.)

Just thought about compatibility too: https://caniuse.com/?search=placeholder probably ie quirk for current text bit bigger would prob. be enough. Note there are few limitations on placehholder esp. compatibility wise. Check f.e. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7312623/

Question: Could the infotext on comments be made more visible? Ppl barely read that unnoticeable as it is. I mean I didnt read that too back then resp. even read the faq before. ^^ Now simply making it bigger would move the submit button further down. I am against a have-read-checkbox (while moving the text below). So best option might be to put it inside the message as placeholder? (additionally maybe a short script with a green line like: "Thank you for complying with these terms, on further questions please read the <link>FAQ."
Maybe it will help on what to posts and not waste time on.

I've put them through again, so they should come through now.
Thanks for the report.

Thanks, would you be able to request changes for these two files?
https://anidb.net/file/3200619
https://anidb.net/file/3200922

Thanks for the request. Forcing links to open in a new window/tab has become somewhat less desirable as it takes away user choice.
If it helps, you can also open them using middle-click, which will put it in a new tab on most browsers.

Understandable request but this can be really subjective to people and admin might not approve it. What solution I can offer is clicking the scroll wheel instead.

I use that everywhere but ymmv if you use trackpad or mobile

Hi Admin

Most of the NZB's between 18.00 and 21.38 were not generated yesterday. Any chance you can run them again please?
