can u release a sql db on torrent file with magnet links? however i seldom use the ddl link...
while the rarbg site shut down, there is a sql file contents necessary data, and it's still working after 3 yrs.
thanks, i really like this site.

'Cry' is certainly an interesting interpretation - the way I see it is that I made some criticisms of how Nyaa operates, yet I don't see you refuting any of them.

I agree that Nyaa has been running for several years now and I'm grateful for those years of service. It's also worth pointing out that AT wouldn't be what it is without them. The fact that they're so prominent is also a testament to their doing a good job.
To be clear, I don't dislike them at all - it's quite the opposite actually.

My intent is not to "bad mouth" them, it is to point out issues I think need to be raised (or perhaps "cry" if you prefer). If you think those issues are illegitimate (or inaccurate in any way), please do let me know - I'm happy to be corrected or discuss.

Regarding nekoBT, I imagine the owner would be willing to at least consider any suggestions you have, so I hope that you're willing to share with them why you think it's the "worst site ever".

I apologise for "running away because of lame excuses" - I do hope this doesn't happen to Nyaa, but considering the way they're operating, I don't hold much hope. Regardless, I don't think it's a bad idea to have a backup plan in the (however unlikely) case it does happen.

Please feel free to post your responses, I have little interest in deleting any half reasonable comment.

It sounds like some power system blew at the host, which took them several hours to replace.
This site doesn't use Cloudflare in any capacity.

Sorry for the downtime.

If the browser isn't getting a "fast enough" response, you'd get a connection error, not a 504.
HTTP 504 is a response sent by the server, in other words, the user is connecting successfully to Nyaa and there's no fault with the ISP. (and if the user is connecting via HTTPS, it's not even possible for the ISP to send such a response without triggering a certificate error)

DNS doesn't sound like the culprit here, unless Nyaa has configured it to send different responses (which seems like an odd thing for them to do, so if someone does fix the issue by changing their DNS, I'd be quite surprised).

    

thank you for your service

    

anyone has a discord or something or knows a channel where we can talk and find alterantives for anime etc?  especially for people like me who relied on the direct links here :(

Put in the words "Dual Audio" or "Dual" after the name you're searching for and it'll only show file titles with those words in it. I also have [Yameii] search bookmarked, [Yameii] only uploads English Dubbed anime.

Was it DNS? It's always DNS.

Alas, my solution for AT's departure is just to use nekobt. I only ever download torrents, and I'm a dub-only (come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough!) downloader, so I'll greatly miss the qol of having series summaries and links to sites on them.

Is there any way I can adjust my filter there to include English or dual audio? Do I need to make an account there or something?

Cheers

So long. And thanks for all the sushi.

Welcome back! Was it cloudflare being down?

nekoBT is the worst site ever, I will never link them to any of my services. Cry all you want about Nyaa, at least they are still running after all these years and still providing service to the users, not running away because of lame excuses and bad mouthing others just shows who you really are.
Feel free to delete my comment.

I genuinely thank you for this wonderful website!
Good luck

It indicates that the browser isn't getting a fast enough response from the host, which means that the ISP is blocking the traffic, most likely because of DDoS Guard, and causing it to timeout.

It's easily fixed by using a VPN/DNS.

DNS blocks usually don't result in HTTP responses, so that sounds unlikely to me.
If I were to guess, there's something between DDoS-Guard and Nyaa's servers. As this doesn't happen to everyone, perhaps either one of DDG's endpoints has connectivity issues with Nyaa, or Nyaa are dropping some connections, causing a timeout at DDG.
But ultimately Nyaa is better suited to diagnosing the issue, not that I think they'd bother.

I've heard users having some success when using a VPN.

Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!

You're DNS blocked, probably, maybe.

Good luck to you, and thanks for everything.

HTTP 5xx code indicates a server issue. Client issues are denoted by a HTTP 4xx code.
It's possible that the code is wrong, but it's not a user's duty to fix that.

Getting error 504 means it's a problem I. Your side.

Lmao keep dreaming

nekobt will take over someday (hope), they just need to fix the phone ui though

I hope you have better life after this technically shutting down😁

I wish it wasn't closing down, this has been a comfortable friend in my life. I am really going to miss everything about Animetosho, this is the BEST anime website ever, and I've been cruising anime sites since the early 1990's, the ease of being able to check before downloading something if DUAL means my native language, knowing if the subs are just signs and songs or if it is complete subs. I really appreciated the links to AniDB, MAL, TVDB or Wiki (en), it made a big difference.

I hardly ever had an issue with any download due to your cache policy. There is notheing negative about this site, this is where I stumbled into Overlord, DanMachi, TenSura, Eminence in Shadow,Yuru Camp, Rent-A-Girl, Yama no Susume), Seishun Buta Yarō-Aobuta), Jigokuraku, Mirai Nikki, The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Log Horizon, Sword Art Online, Durarara!!, Blue Period, Welcome to NHKL, Eden of the East, Summer Time Rendering, Solo Leveling....

My heart breaks to think of life without Animetosho.

The account registrations being disabled is likely intentional, so isn't something to "fix", at least, as far as Nyaa.si owners are concerned.
What should be fixed is the messaging - clearly "temporarily unavailable" in not the case* and it'd take like two minutes for someone to replace it with a clear, accurate message. I've seen plenty of people assume "temporarily unavailable" is accurate, wondering when registrations would be open again.

<rant>

Which highlights the key problem of Nyaa.si - the owners simply Don't Give A Fuck. They've got no reason to deceive, and it doesn't appear that they have some distaste towards newbies (other than not wanting to deal with them), they just simply don't care about the site they're running.
No one should be surprised if Nyaa.si just suddenly disappears one day, without warning (just like what happened to the original NyaaTorrents). You might not want to hear this from someone that's shutting down their own site, but I don't see Nyaa ever posting about their decision to shutdown before it eventually happens.

And disabled registrations doesn't "just work" - not allowing new contributors is a broken system. The effect clearly isn't immediate, it's just something that causes a slow gradual decline. In communities, people come and go, and if you prevent people coming, you've just got the natural attrition of users leaving.

People really shouldn't be content with the status quo because "it works". Not only is this an incredibly low bar to set your standards at, if this was universally accepted, there'd never be any improvement.

What's unfortunate is that it's hard to get attention to problems until they actually blow up. I can't say that Nyaa.si will ever "blow up", but in my opinion, the community's over-reliance on one site (whose owner hardly cares) is a problem that too many are apathetic towards.

I'm really hoping that nekoBT can eventually be a worthy alternative. More options is a benefit, not a drawback.

* I'm aware that the top of this page has "temporary" in the description, but it's at least qualified with "somewhat", and ultimately no-one cares about the precise message here anyway

Why do gay men have higher car insurance ?


Because they keep getting rear ended !!

i just got into the site after years just to realize it's gonna die soon ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡

good luck and thanks for everything dear anon, your site will be truly missed (ಥ﹏ಥ)
