unable to find sxales' torrent for zeta gundam on the site, despite it being uploaded to nyaa.si before. file is missing or not being mirrored correctly idk
Below is a batch script I run for attachment renaming that I want to pass on. It's intended for season batches so you need episode folders with .mkv as a suffix. After running, user is prompted to select the track number of the sub file. Makes new folders, "chap, font, old", sub files are copied and renamed to "episode folder name-original name", chapters are copied to "chap" and renamed same as subs, attachments are moved to font and renamed to "episode folder name" and everthing else is moved to old. Script(copy everything below and save as a .bat file) @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:: --- Track Number Validation Loop --- :GET_TRACK_NUMBER set "found_track_in_any_dir=0" echo. echo Please enter the track number for the subtitles: set /p track_num="Track number: "
:: Check all episode folders for the existence of the specified track for /d %%d in (*.mkv) do ( if /i not "%%d"=="chap" if /i not "%%d"=="font" if /i not "%%d"=="old" (
:: Check for a file matching the pattern "track[number].*" within the folder for %%f in ("%%d\track!track_num!.*") do ( if exist "%%f" ( set "found_track_in_any_dir=1"
:: Use GOTO to break out of the directory loop immediately upon finding one match goto :CHECK_RESULT ) ) ) )
:CHECK_RESULT :: If the flag is still 0, the track was not found in any folder if "!found_track_in_any_dir!"=="0" ( echo. echo Error: Subtitle track "!track_num!" was not found in any episode folder. echo Please enter a different track number. echo. goto :GET_TRACK_NUMBER ) :: --- End Track Number Validation Loop ---
:: Make new folders if they don't already exist if not exist "chap" mkdir "chap" if not exist "font" mkdir "font" if not exist "old" mkdir "old"
:: Main script, requires episode folders with suffix .mkv :: Folder name = episode name - .mkv for /d %%d in (*.mkv) do ( if /i not "%%d"=="chap" if /i not "%%d"=="font" if /i not "%%d"=="old" ( echo Processing folder: "%%d"
set "episode_name=%%~nd"
:: Move attacments to font\ and rename if exist "%%d\attachments" ( ren "%%d\attachments" "!episode_name!" move "%%d\!episode_name!" "font\" ) else ( echo Warning: Attachments folder not found in "%%d". Skipping. )
:: Copy selected track and rename (we know this track exists from the validation loop) for %%f in ("%%d\track!track_num!.*") do ( if exist "%%f" ( copy "%%f" "!episode_name!-%%~nf%%~xf" ) )
:: Copy chapters to chap\ and rename if exist "%%d\chapters.xml" ( copy "%%d\chapters.xml" "chap\!episode_name!-chapters.xml" ) else ( echo Warning: chapters.xml not found in "%%d". Skipping. ) ) )
:: Move original episode folders to old for /d %%d in (*.mkv) do ( if /i not "%%d"=="chap" if /i not "%%d"=="font" if /i not "%%d"=="old" ( move "%%d" "old\" ) )

lol stop pestering the admin, don't you realise they're busy in the background working away to bring us our anime? They're fkn legends, what more do you need to know?
Thanks for raising that. It seems like that one actually did 'work', or I've got a bug somewhere. I've adjusted that one, so hopefully it does what you expected.
Oh, interesting! Are you more into action-packed anime, or do you prefer slice-of-life ones? What’s your all-time favorite anime series? (If you say One Punch Man, my condolences lol.)
Glad to hear that this site is useful to you, and thanks for your words of support!
whats the lore behind this site, what made you want to do it
I don't think there's much lore here. There was a site I used to use around 2010 for DDLs, Anime Take, but they only uploaded one release. I wanted something that'd mirror all releases, giving DDL users access to the same releases that torrents provided (for new releases) and figured that it'd be possible to automate such a process.
continue it, anything cool planned in the future?
I'm happy to provide a service that others (including myself) find useful. I don't really have future plans - for one, I don't want to expand the scope of this project too much. An original goal was long term viability, which means low maintenance (via heavy reliance on automation) and low cost. Doing too much increases the maintenance burden (as well as development time).

hi admin
i usually post monthly 'thank u admin' posts since starting my journey on anime
benefited a lot from here for sure, maybe one day i'll pay it back (safely of course)

I could, but generally prefer to avoid using cookies whenever possible. I'd generally recommend just bookmarking the URL with your desired filters set.
Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy.. it’s also rooted in ancient traditions honoring the dead, much like a modern echo of remembering those who came before us.
Ah I see now, thanks. It looks like it's done via the tag system, which makes things complicated.
I really don't want this place being for anime discovery - AniDB does a much better job at that - so I'd recommend cross checking over there. Sorry that that's not what you wanted to hear.
Despite the many arguments in the chat, and sometimes with the admin, I congratulate you on your policy of no ads on the website. Keep up the good work.
What I mean is to use the tags from AniDB that indicate which country a show comes from (at present, AniDB lists Japanese Anime, Chinese animation, and Korean animation, and in turn AnimeTosho shows all of them together on the main feeds). On AniDB, there are checkboxes on the season charts that let you toggle any one of these regions so that, for example, you can only see Japanese Anime - or only China or only Korea or any combination of the three.
It would be nice to do the same thing here, especially on the Series sort page. So that when I'm just browsing to see what's been uploaded recently I don't have to double-check where something is from. Sometimes I will see entire pages of Chinese shows because there was a mass upload from someone. No complaint, I'm just not interested.
I an't put pictures here. If you go to the Season Chart page on AniDB, then look at the righthand options bar you will see checkboxes under Region, you can turn on and off shows from an entire country that way.
It would also be cool if this was an option saved in one's profile. :)
Torrents aren't posted at a steady rate, so there needs to be enough capacity to handle spikes. Also, you need to over-provision, otherwise when something breaks/slows down or when you need to pause processing for upgrades etc, you'll never be able to catch up if normal operation requires 24/7 maxed out bandwidth. Batches processed here are done at lower priority.
With the number of files processed increasing, files getting larger over time, and the fact that bandwidth capacity hasn't improved at all here for the past ~8 years, I don't see any increase in processing capacity any time soon.
The primary goal of this site is to mirror the latest episodes to DDL services; everything else is largely an extra. Batches are not a goal here (they used to be completely skipped, but I figured I could let some through). Sites like releases.moe have very different goals in mind, and you'll likely find AT's aims don't fit in there particularly well. If you want something more closely aligned with their goals, I'd suggest either starting your own website for such, or encourage/collaborate with other interested parties to do so.
I also don't plan on expanding the scope of this project - I'd much prefer others handle stuff AT doesn't target. In my opinion, having more websites makes for a healthier environment, over relying on one/few providers.
