Erai do what they do, and IMO they should just stick to that, theres no need for one group to take all the pressure after horribles absence. Plenty of groups around to share the load.
I did hear that they had seen some (hopefully minor) intimidation tactics, their donation accounts being whackamoled and so on - When you're getting flak its a sign your over the target - There are evil fuckers out there that wanna stop our access to our anime, copyright assholes, and just plain assholes. If you wanna help drop some donation bucks on some subgroups , servers don't pay for themselves, and some groups, including erai do some DDL options
Haven't seen many {erai-raws] releases on here in the last few days, anyone have any info on this? I'm probably being overanxious, but with HS taking a backseat I'm a bit worried about our subbers
Hi admin, I don't know if there were some issues but some of the releases from Hakata Ramen have been skipped from being fetched from TokyoTosho. Were there any issues with the torrent or something happened with the site?
Thanks for the info. It looks like the provider's server is glitching a bit (giving invalid NNTP responses). I've added some workaround and re-enabled stuck uploads to retry. Will keep an eye on whether it works.
I have noticed that since a couple of days there are some missing NZB on the site. I checked on the newsgroup directly the files are uploaded, but without any PAR and the CRC / MD5 don't match so the file was apparently corrupted during upload(For example : [SubsPlease] D4DJ First Mix - 04 (1080p) [DD7084F0].mkv). I don't know if it's linked to the current extra load or if there is some issue / timeout with the NZB script.
For shows such an archive already exists called Usenet. AT uploads everything they process to it and downloads are available for years. You can get an account to access it at https://xsusenet.com/
I remember years ago you could look for a rare show, and after a half hour or so of 'google-fu' you'd find some blogger that has a link to a fansub, uploaded years before, and you'd click it and it'd still be available. It'd take an hour to download at something like 50kbv/sec, but it'd be there. Nowadays you click a link for a show that was uploaded 3 months ago and its already hooked. "We're sorry but the file you're looking for is no longer available..." Maybe we could somehow croiwdsoure serverspace for a massive library to ensure the largest possible collecxtion of our anime, especially the rare stuff, is always available.
Okay, scrap that. Turns out I'm lazy, and pulling filename info is more effort than I can be bothered with, so you can have the source links instead (colouring will depend on your RSS client).
Thanks for the suggestion. In general, a host is added if it's popular enough amongst users here. Users can respond here on what they think of the file hosts. See also "Will Anime Tosho support uploading to [some file host]?" on the FAQs page.
If you're willing to do the work, you can grab a copy of the attachments and attachment files DB dump. The page tells you how to retrieve the actual files, one by one, based on ID. The collection starts from 2014-04-03 and should contain most releases. Current total size is around 76GB.
If it's only got one file, I can add the filename. Personally feel a little iffy over the source info - mostly trying to keep the RSS stuff minimal. Maybe I'll consider some URL parameter which will display more file info, like on the /view/ pages. Hopefully the filename is sufficient for your needs.
My name is Ahmed. I'm one of the team well-known filehost Turbobit.net and Hitfile.net. We would like to cooperate with you, so i would like to ask you about the conditions and the cost to become one of the filehost on your site or ,even better, the unique filehost on your site. ecurity: Our team, as well as the storage, is distributed worldwide.
Would it be possible to get a dump of all subtitle files for all torrents on Anime Tosho? I'm considering putting together a corpus of anime subtitles.
Do you mean that you're hitting 503 errors when doing searches? If so, could you post the IP of the server (use this if you don't want it to be publicly shown)? Thanks.

Can I buy/donate for a golden api key? I use a seedbox on a shared host and am ip limited sometimes. I believe there are 100 people on the IP per server (ultraseedbox). Sometimes I can't use sonarr to search at all for 12 hours+
Thanks for the feedback. The filters shown on the main page aren't saved anywhere in the current design. You might be able to work around it by bookmarking the link with the filters applied.
I think that article focuses mostly on organisations/businesses. There's a common thread in programming where newbie developers struggle to understand a code base (or the intricacies of why it's complex), so are likely to recommend rewrites when they're not appropriate - the article is likely targeting that demographic. This doesn't really fit here, as I'm the one who's written all the code, so I'm well aware of its shortcomings. So nothing to worry about :)
Thanks for the info. My intention wasn't really to change the way the site works much. AT is a mirror, and I intend to keep the main listing similar to how sites like Nyaa do it. There's certainly UI tweaks that could be made, and various cleanups in the backend code which would be nice to have.
Thanks for the suggestions. I think the biggest thing is whether people are motivated to donate time for such a project, seeing as I can't really offer anything in return.
1. There are four ways that people use this site to download that I can think of: Click-ddl, Click-torrent, Scrape-ddl, RSS. For scrape ddl, the current plain text setup is ideal. Face-paint of various kinds could make it worse, certainly not better. For RSS, I don't know if there's anything within reach to offer them. For the clickers, I don't think you can't really help or hurt them.
2. I appreciate that AT hasn't tried to squeeze into the spaces of MAL, AniDB, etc. There should continue to be a place for those sites. I don't think users are looking for more functionality than AT already has.
If a re-write would be about make it easier for admin to admin and what effort that would be worth, I don't know.
P.S. Maybe enforcers are drawn to bust slick sites first.
I'd suggest maybe get a group together and use Laravel (a framework) for rewriting the site. Did this once for a company and it was very easy to use as all basic stuff is already there. You could let other users do this by uploading the current website to a github or any other VCS, then there is easy to see what pieces of info from the DB you use where.
As I said it's just a suggestion, and you can just it however you want. Really like this site but it sure could be easier on the eyes and maybe easier to find different functions as it expands.
Thanks for the offer. This site is completely custom (no framework) and doesn't use Bootstrap. Not sure what you mean by 'blades' (a Bootstrap thing?). The code here is rather old and unwieldy, so I've had the idea of a complete rewrite in the air, but it seems like a daunting task which I don't really have the spare time for unfortunately. If others are willing to do most of it, I could coordinate something, but I'm not sure there's that much interest.
@admin: What framework are you using for the site backend? Check out bootstrap, if you can edit the blades.. new user here but I could help with some UX design.
