Thanks for most of the above comments about this.
I've put in a bit of a simple heuristic which hopefully is enough to discourage the behaviour (will have to see how it turns out).
I'm not too fussed about the bandwidth usage (thanks for the concern) as long as people don't blatantly abuse it in the future. Okay, bandwidth is the reason why only one category is fetched, but if the behaviour stops, then it doesn't really matter that much.

Does anyone know why the sudden influx of non-English translated torrents? Because it doesn't appear to be just one group...

I've accepted that there'd be fakes, viruses, people using this as a torrent to DDL service or deliberate/accidental mis-postings, so I generally don't mind it much as long as it isn't a big issue. And as we're a fairly small, not widely known, site, actions targeted explicitly to AT doesn't happen too often.
To be honest, I really have more interesting things to tend to than to eradicate the site of stuff that probably shouldn't be here. But of course, if people decide to blatantly abuse the script, then they're essentially forcing me to block them.

I somewhat fear AT becoming more widely known - it basically is one way to invite abuse. Fortunately I've managed to keep us low key enough for a while.

hey dude....
i now you angry....
respect other country.....
i'm from indonesia... it's not about my country it's about a fansub group....
using anon and flaming is the best thing u can do

@Admin: can you disable splitting for Mega? :)
i mean don't do part1, part2 when uploading. upload mkv as it is as one Single Mega link.

this will allow me to generate Mega Premium Link from here > www.generatorlinkpremium.com for Anime Movies
i can then remote upload file to my Encoding server in just few mins :)
its not a problem downloading .001 & joining mkv. problem is when uploading mkv from my Computer.
if i start uploading 2GB Movie from my Computer, it will take almost 3 days to complete upload :(
only if connection doesn't break in middle of it which it usually does break every 4-6 hours. :(
i live in crap country that can never offer decent internet connection anyway :(

if its ok with you, please upload on Mega without any parts :)
Mega doesn't have upload file size limit.

If you're feeling generous (which is really awesome of you!), I'd rather you donate to the many out there more deserving, such as:
- fansub groups which ask for it
- file hosting sites (okay, maybe they can survive themselves via ads, but ones like AnonFiles could probably use your help)
- those involved with producing the anime in the first place (though arguably these studios seem to be fairly profitable already)
- other charitable groups

I could accept donations and just route them to the above, but I really don't see the point and don't want to have to manage this.

Yeah, good point.

1st option still wastes bandwidth since he got to download it to check.

I also thought about that 1st option of yours. I don't really mind all these non-english stuff but I hate how they are being too cocky. Hopefully, we'll hear from admin soon.

Non-English-Translated Anime: Two Suggestions

Admin's goal has been to have an automated anime site that required no human moderators and little supervision.  And it's been a huge success.  But the current automation relies on some good will and can be defeated by those who want to (if you blocked "Lulu-Subs" then you get "Lulu-$ubs" then "Lulu-Sub$, etc.).  

If admin wants to limit this site to English-translated anime (which I don't know that he does or doesn't):

1. The most fool-proof automation I can think of would be the criterion itself -an automated system that samples the ass subtitles file and does a language-detect, similar to how Google-Translates does.  Possible?  Difficult?  I don't know.  No doubt difficult at best.

2. Rely on external non-self-reported filters such as Nyaa's Trusted category.  We'd lose a lot of anime offerings that way, but keep the main listings.  It would cut down on link generation needs in a big way, which admin might welcome.  Current programs by main-stream fansubs is more than enough of a load by itself anyways.  I think this is the best solution, if a solution is needed.  Too bad though.

Of course, if various groups want to show they can defeat admin's intentions, he might eventually agree that an automated site can't be done after all, and pull the plug on AT completely.  Who knows that he wouldn't?

Despite anyone's discomforts with Non-English listings, this is admin's party alone.  Whatever he wants is fine and we are grateful.

Lol, you are the one who can not help himself. Racist lowlife? That awful racist grammar on the indo subs is obviously from you as well. Talk about double standards, i am happy to be banned if you are as well. Goodbye sociopath,crude troll,child. Enjoy your wieners.  

AT appears to be getting flooded with non-English material right now.  This may pass.  As a temporary measure, users can set the Nyaa filter at the top of the homepage to A+/Trusted to find English-translated downloads, or download only from known groups, or check the ass files before downloading.

Offered as a help for now, not a solution.

I don't want to go on like last time, when admin had to say we should stop, then you still couldn't help yourself, you are a maniac but well i had my laughs, go on and rant all you want, i won't reply to a racist lowlife like you anymore. Have fun and don't forget to take your drugs.

to quote you : ' I have been through tough times as well and know it is hard.'  'I am on medication, just as you should be.'

PS i know you will reply with insults, then maybe apologize again, then ask the admin to remove the comments and to bann me or both of us then come back with more racist insults towards me, you really should seek some professional help.

Well, have a nice day my beloved lying, racist cunt.

MPD (and possibly schizophrenia) is what you have, get a doctor if they are able to help you out. Probably not as you will be sat tapping f5 repeatedly while drooling onto your keyboard.

Now go on your usual rants, then use another nick to make it look like someone els is backing your point, then come back again and insult me again, then come back and say you are sorry you were drunk and forgot to take your pills, then come back and insult me under another name again, like you always do.

You invented the name for your mother after the SS raped her and left a defective retarded son like you . The Allied nations won ww2 as well not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of...rld_War_II  not Russia . Get an education Nazi because you did zero but murder Jews, kids, and women in ww2. Now fuck off , you are a shit stain and a waste of time. Go back to school , if they still teach bout genocide.You're a fucking moron and should go and dive of a bridge . "

That is what you said to him, and now you call him a racist. You are one delusional retard.

Then don't read my comments you idiot, btw you are the one always starting the fights, you cuntface. Mr lying, racist using yet again another name but still too stupid to use spaces on punctuation marks.

Now they are flooding the site with their indonesian shit encodes, just to piss us off i guess. Asocial retards, no wonder Indonesia is such a underdevolped country, no respect no nothing.

More concerned about the guy acting like a racist ,foul-mouthed hater, mentioned by HizuPiko. No user comment filtering is added and needs to be implemented on IP's ,or a back-up site address with comments removed. I don't want to have to read an illiterate idiotic trolls comments every time i use the site.

I wonder what is admin's course of action towards Non-English entries that are intentionally altered so as to abuse the system? Although i got no solution to offer, but i believe prevention is always better than cure. Maybe discussing it with Nya and TT mods would be more appropriate. (Just my thought)

~Edited~ I propose a possible solution to this is actually for the group themselves to include both English and their native subs in their releases then technically it would be under English subbed anime.

Are you stupid? What is there to check, i am telling him to stop wasting bandwidth of this site by uplaoding indonesian fansubs here, if somebody is rude there it is kkhendrik who even says that he doesn't care, and i didn't insult him once... but i am tempted to insult you now.
