I'm not really a fan of doing that unfortunately, as I try to minimise usage of these types of release-specific rules (to maintain my weird sense of mirror objectivity). Probably similar to your unwillingness in using a VPN.
I'll think about if there's some way to do it, but I make no promises. Appreciate the suggestion nonetheless.
I already tried most nyaa proxies, they don't work even half the time some don't even allow the rss(I've been a year I've been looking for alternatives to nyaa as I'm not willing to use an VPN to access nyaa and my ISP refuses to change my ip). Would it be possible to just block AT from indexing TT Erai-raws releases? That way you don't have to change how anything works, I've asked them to stop uploading to TT because of this(they also upload arbitrarily, some times they upload the 1080p version only, some times only the 480p and other times they just skip uploading a release) but the problem is just some rando uploading them is enough for AT to index them and change the name so even if they stopped uploading them to TT it would just take some anonymous person to start uploading them and ruin it(example https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/erai-raws-...n.1722381)
That's unfortunate. Do any of the Nyaa proxies like this one work for you? (do try to keep search requests to a minimum though)
AT used to mirror TokyoTosho exclusively; Nyaa was added later, so TT data was preferenced for consistency. I'm somewhat unwilling to change this as I'd either break consistency or need to go through 11+ years of past entries. I do get your point though, so thanks for raising it nonetheless.

But why does it take time for Erai-raws to release a multiple-subbed Netflix anime Isekai Ojisan? When other animes they upload them as fast as anyone?
You mean using directly nyaa? Nyaa it's awful for automation and they're very ban happy if you make too many search requests (my ip was banned 1 year ago and still is because I made too many requests when I was trying to make sonarr work with anime, asked them like 3-4 times already for an unban but they've said they can't do anything and that the ip banlist gets cleaned every 3-4 months, which is obviously a lie). Would you consider changing it so it uses anidex/nyaa release name in case the torrent is hosted there, it makes no sense that just because the torrent is uploaded afterwards to TT a proper release name is changed to the torrent name and breaks consistency
Is not a sonarr problem, I only want to download the episodes that include certain languages so I need those tags. As you can see the languages included change from episode to episode because they rely on crunchyroll and if CR is late with some language sub they're not included in the first release, they use to release later a second release with more languages
I use Erai-raws because they include multiple subtitle languages unlike SubsPlease which is english exclusive, the tags they're using on the release name represent the languages used and I need them because I only want to download from erai-raws when a release include the languages I need, otherwise it will default to a different release group

The inconsistent titles you refer to don't interfere with AT's identification of the series or episode, so what automation are you having trouble with, just to be curious? Is this yet another sonarr problem?
What about ep9 having 7 languages listed in title but ep10 have only five, is that also a problem?
I already asked on discord but there's an issue with erai-raws releases and tokyotosho, erai-raws has decided to use a release name different than the torrent/file name so they can include the languages of the subtitles the file has without making the filename too long(long filenames lead to issues). The problem is if one of those torrents that have a different release name are uploaded to tokyotosho too animetosho decides to prioritise tokyotosho's torrent name over nyaa's release name, breaking automation software and making shows have inconsistent naming on their files(since not all torrents are uploaded to tokyotosho, meaning some are using nyaa's release name and others are using tokyotosho torrent's filename). Example https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/search?q=erai-r...fuufu ijou , you can see how episode 9 for example doesn't have the language tags because it's been uploaded to tokyotosho but episode 10 do have them
Not entirely sure, but peers can also be found by querying a tracker. Of course, DHT can work too, so the 'tr' parameter isn't mandatory. My guess is that querying a tracker can be faster, work in cases where DHT doesn't, or if DHT doesn't know of any peer nodes.
Can you clarify more about how the tr parameter in the magnet link is used? I thought peers are found via DHT lookup of the infohash to get the full torrent metadata, then connect to the trackers listed therein. What role do trackers included in the magnet link play in this process?
The ones AT already has work great for me, at the full speed of my connection. And as the FAQ says, there's a cost to adding any more bandwidth to AT's load.
