I mentioned it before, but to reiterate, the change has absolutely nothing to do with NeoLX.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not sure how often uploaders check comments here, and this site doesn't really track uploaders (particularly difficult given many Nyaa uploads are done as anonymous). I'll table it for now to see how much interest there actually is on this front.

It's designed to encourage you not to fill it with "Anonymous".
Alternatively you can register an account.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I think a key issue is how to make such an interface work.
If someone has ideas, they're welcome to implement this themselves though.

It used to be like that until NeoLX complains about it, now here we are.

This can possibly be improved by providing a comment feed page filtered by uploader. I'd comment on nyaa but nyaa has long since disabled registration. I am not an uploader.

Please pre-fill "Name:" with "Anonymous", it's annoying to type that.

I know it's far off-scope, but having tools to (git) diff subtitles from different releases would be useful, and you're hosting them anyway.

He's clearly your fans since he can't stop using your username. or maybe a creep.

Hello, can I ask you to stop using my username? Thanks!

The owner of gamedrive started using the hoster, so I can post a link from him.
Here is one:  https://www.rootz.so/d/RNH7I

I got the info about the host from the thread on cs.rin ("recommend hosts"). Here are all the infos I found from there.

GAMEDRIVE admin: no limits for Backstage users using from last few weeks. The owner used to run ranoz but split up with the other owner

SJB cs. rin mod: 1) Now, no ads, works great, fine - seen it before though - Will you be moving to the same ad network as Ranoz & the others? (the mediafire/mega.nz fake download virus')
2) Will you have any scammy buttons (Ranoz 'Try repairing this fine' is a lie plain & simple) that lead to the above ad network as well?

Answer from rootz: 1- We plan to eventually add advertisement, we're working on our own system and no it won't be scammy weird dangerous viruses. Funding is wide so ads aren't required at the time.
2- No, we won't do any of that. We're completely aware of everything that was done wrong in both those platforms and we're here to do it right

Try to provide an example link, whether the download method is easy or difficult, if it is difficult of course, your host will not be accepted.

Thanks for the info.
I generally avoid uploading to brand new hosts, but if users here find it useful, it can be considered.

@admin
I found something that might be interesting for animetosho:

Former Qiwi and Ranoz founder here, built both platforms myself from the ground up (before leaving due to bad platform management & care of the former partner and current owner), now back with a new & better development team to do things the way they were first intended to (build a reliable & superior file host).

We just launched Rootz.so, three weeks ago with my personal team of developers, fully focused on user feedback and experience. You’ve probably already seen some links in recent repacks of popular websites.

What Rootz essentially offers:

- File size, storage and bandwidth fully unlimited for backstage users.
- 25gb maximum file size & unlimited uploads for anonymous users (anon files get deleted after 7 days of 0 downloads).
- Unlimited bandwidth for uploaders & downloaders.
- Zoom uploader support & Remote upload feature.
- Permanent files, no expirations, no deletions for registered backstage users (must go through application, easy and fast).
- Ad-free downloads (soon we'll likely add ads without banning adblock but funding is unlimited so it's not really required for now).

If you’re active with repacks uploads or got any questions, just drop a quick PM here or on Discord (@rootzso), will take minutes to get set up on the backstage ;)

Cheers!!

TT has gone up and down a lot the past few months, it's usually just a few minutes of downtime most of the time, sometimes longer, never longer than an hour in practice, but it always comes back up, it's just they have some issues on their end.

Maybe someone here will reupload for you if you mention which links don't work. Be specific.

Of course, I say something and it's working again. Ha. Sorry for the false alarm.

Seems to work fine for me?

I hate to be a nuisance, but it seems it went down again.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is not a file host.

Anything on a DDL service is impermanent. Use the torrent or download from Usenet.

links doesnot work(files removed)

ah, its back for now...

try monit for auto restarting services, maybe that can help

fuu tokyotosho is down, maybe you could build some mirror like how you did with nyaa ;)

Sorry about that - don't know why it fails like that. Hopefully it'll work better now.

Onion site down again? Error: Onion site not found.

Seems to be down again.

NTA, but you're an idiot. SP and Erai release untouched official video, they don't encode anything, and official video is encoded with the software encoder x264. In the case of amazon they sometimes used a hardware encoder, but it's an exception rather than the rule.

Both of these are x264, which is a software encoder ran on CPU. The settings aren't necessarily that good, but streamers give it lots of bitrate so it works fine.

Is there anything to be gained from attacking someone whom you believe is not interested in listening?

Stop spreading misinformation, kid.

You're not sane.

Bait couldn't be more obvious.

Bait? Sounds like facts to me. All the releases found here use hardware encodes as a source.
Some software encodes are better than others and filtering can only do so much.

Is there even anything to be gained by explaining something to someone who is clearly not interested in listening?

Bait couldn't be more obvious.

They the kind of person who believes that any and all digital formats are inferior to analogue ones due to compression.

Yup, Erai, Subsplease, Varyg and others are all hardware encodes as well as BDs.
It must be fun to be an anti-hardware snob with all the limited choices of what to DL.
There are tons of poorly encoded software releases also.

Arguing with stupid people is fascinating.

So are you going to share your understanding of encoding to someone you claim doesn't, or are you more interested in gloating?

Unfortunately they don't explain why NVENC releases "should be avoided at all costs" - it'd likely be much more informative if the comment did that.
Even better, cut out the "should be avoided at all costs" part and let the reader decide.

Did you just admit they are right? Mhh yes, you just did. lol.

Also less downloads compared to what? Their number of downloads, which means nothing anyway but you mentioned it so let's look at it, is already super low, heh.

No one cares. If they did it would have less downloads. Cope.

Most people wouldn't notice or care.

There is always a smarty pants. Now correct my (ttYppO).

correction - some removed or cashed and others remain active

Tell me you understand nothing of encoding without telling me you understand nothing of encoding

So you hate NVIDIA products and software. Why do you think everyone should agree with you and join your panic party?

They make unaware people aware of the fact* that those releases are made with NVENC and should be avoided at all costs.
(typo)

Care to explain in what way those comments are not useful?
They make unaware people that those releases are made with NVENC and should be avoided at all costs.

> "[INDEX]" comments are not really helpful.
> This release is NVENC

Pick one

"[INDEX]" comments are not really helpful. "ashamed" "trash" "tricked" are very poor descriptions of the problems with these files.
The fact that Nyaa removed these files is the only strong indication of real problems.
