seems like the site stopped uploading new entries

I don't mind scraping anything here, as long as you're not too aggressive with it.
One request per minute sounds very conservative - going faster shouldn't be an issue.

If you're going after attachments, I suggest targeting the .xz files, as there won't be duplication there (the .7z packages are just the .xz files joined together).

I don't know if you're after the subtitle text only, or the fonts/chapters etc as well.
I could create a one-off batch of the .xz files. You'd obviously have to deal with updates subsequent to that.
At time of writing, all .xz files total 138GB. If you only want subtitle text, the size would be much less than that.

I have a question. There's already a page with AnimeTosho database dumps, and it has a lot of useful metadata.

But if I want to make a search engine (open source) for anime subtitles, am I allowed to use the subtitle attachment files from Anime Tosho?

While you make it easy to download the subtitle files, I'm reluctant to just start doing it because that would be nasty on the server bandwidth. Even if I limit downloads to something like 1 request per minute, it would probably take several months at least (I'm just eyeballing here, haven't even done the math), so incremental updates would probably only be realistic after an initial bulk import.

So that's why I'm not sure if this use case is allowed at all. And I'm asking here because I couldn't find the answer about this in the FAQ or the dbexport page.

If it *is* allowed, is there a better way to do an initial bulk download of the attachment files that doesn't put too much strain on the Anime Tosho servers? E.g. a torrent, an Internet Archive link, etc (I couldn't find either with a quick search).

If bulk downloads like this are *not* allowed, would it be possible to mention that in the FAQ or the dbexport page?

Thanks.

Nah, you're fine.

No, but I prefer anonymous uploads.

I personally don't really believe in "unlimited storage", which I find typically means "an undisclosed storage limit" (same with "never deleted" promises).

You are right. Sorry, for spamming the feedback area with this bs. Are registered accounts totaly out of the question for security reseaons/mass deletion? A registered account on datanodes.to has unlimited storage compared to the free tier (while both are non deletion). Still I am not sure about them. If they DMCA hard, it's not worth it. I will keep my eyes open for alternatives.

I appreciate your posts, but don't feed the troll.

You still got the guts to reply after making yourself a clown with your comments?
Calling me angry for calling you out for you false accusations and defending myself/trying to reasoning with you paranoid psycho, man you are a pitiful person for not recognizing your own mistake and stopping this bullshit.
I am still waiting for your file hoster suggestions. If you want to talk some more, come to the animetosho Discord server.

I didn't know the akirabox hosting marketing department was this angry.

You think I work for Akirabox when I suggest  Vikingfile, datanotes and pixeldrain as alterantives to Akirabox?
You must be out of your mind. I just want good file hosters that keep the files as long as possible. I don't care if it Akirabox or any other hoster as long as this goal is reached. Take your pills man. Go on and suggest any other file hosters that have a non deletion policy (and offer free deals+ are used on warez sites).

Do you think I work for Akirabox or what?
Absolute yes, no need to argue. Your language style is commonplace, cheap marketing.

Do you think I work for Akirabox or what? I just filled in the first name that came to my mind.

But I am the same opion as you. Uploading to Akirabox doesn't really offer any big benefit if it's used with a "visitor" account.
That's why I recommeded the free premum deal eather from akirabox or vikingfile/ (datanodes) to have the files for as long as possible. Websites like gamedrive.org use them and it seems to work fine.
