Calling torrents "going back to what will feel like the stone ages" is crazy. Torrents are literally the backbone of piracy.

nyaa deleted lots of pages, the mirror site is really necessary.
really sad to read this message.  just hoping there will be a mirror site with a complete magnet database.
this site is really good, saved me lots of time to find the complete series of old anime.
thanks for your service.

The anon @11:50 yesterday said "not all come here for ddls" and you missed their point by further replying that you don't care about torrents, since your "server" can't handle them. Now you simply ignored them by saying "yeah, that's what I'm sad about". lmao. Get real.  

...what? That's the point. That's what I'm sad about. Wtf?

Would the admin intend to remain as a developer for the usenet tools? I'm asking because I'd miss it if he wouldn't.

and where do you think usenet gets their content? torrents. once this site stops fetching new releases, it will also stop uploading to usenet.

My server is automated so the main advantage for me is that with the Usenet downloads I don't have to worry about maintaining a ton of additional torrent seeds. I already have to do that for my other content, so having 80% of my anime not require it was huge. I had Tosho prioritized over pretty much everything else.

I don't miss the DDL, I rarely use it..I will miss the convenience of finding torrents from multiple sources on one site (e.g Anime Tosho). Also, I can download the subtitles/attachments without having to download the torrent itself. Now that's handy.

I see a lot of people saying they'll miss the DDL - I'm going to miss the Usenet grabs. It's just so, so much more convenient and it's going to seriously suck going back to what will feel like the stone ages when I fall back to my other sources. Ugh, I'm going to have to source storage for all of the seeding it's going to require.

Thanks for all the hard work. It'll be missed.

I'll provide a downloadable copy of all the data once updates stop so you (or anyone) can get a copy of the history.
The website will remain up past May.

LMAO nice attempt at impersonation

no mention of an current incidence or maintenance window on https://status.nekobt.to/ but you can follow hours of downtime there...

not feedback for at but what is happening to nekoBT, dose anybody know?

True works are precious, rather than someone taking them for their own personal gain, its better bury them together.

Hi admin. Seems like subs & attachments extraction stopped - "Sorry, the 7z package could not be generated - this may be because attachments have not yet been fully synced". Screenshots are not available too. Please look into it ;)

I'm still sad about Shiru taking my project and making it more popular, like Hayase is my baby... It's just a few "fixes" here and there, nothing more.

The admin already said no, he doesn't want to do it. He wants to retire and I say let him be. You should respect his decision.

Hello admin. Please teach somebody you know and trust to run and maintain this site. You can retire and relax after working for 15 years, but please don't let this beautiful website die. It has preserved release history when people still used to do hardsubs! I know AniDB exists, but that isn't the same as AnimeTosho.

nah, anyone can just simply put whatever name they want, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the same person, for example, I didn't make any comments in this thread https://animetosho.org/view/geckyzz-ma...1290779661

but someone did using the name "brain404" . your comment proves nothing but a creepy behavior.

Now that's just stalking.

From 17:36 to 21:26
You're online quite often

Cope literally means deal effectively with something difficult. It's crazy if someone finds that offensive. again, your site your rules.

Users here can't understand a simple fact that when this site stops fetching new releases, they have to torrent the shows themselves unless a new site like this one appears.

But you post stuff like "cope" and seem to enjoy winning arguments against strangers over the internet.
Now I don't have issues with someone being chronically online, but I'd appreciate it if you could be more amicable.

For subs : https://www.kitsunekko.net/

Thanks for the journey, AT. I wish you all the best. To those who's looking for a site, maybe this one will help you.

https://everythingmoe.com/

yeah, exactly how I feel when people can't torrent, I already give them alternative to watch streams, it's just maybe too hard for you to understand that and it shows.

now, you're just talking out of your ass, if your claim were true, I would have posted responses under every comment asking for a fetch, do you see me doing that? nah, because I'm not chronically online.

Projecting much?

No... I saw too, seems this guy really hates people begging for torrents 'please fetch' or anything.

Stalking much?

Now from dubmeme into ... pity.

Just like you're annoyed by named dubmeme? kekw

Some people just have too much free time, what I don't understand is why they keep spending their time on Anime Tosho commments section, lmao.

[removed - insulting]

You're just annoyed by named Dubman, I've always noticed. You still use nickname Dubmeme kekw.

Clearly, you only read my first sentence, with that level of literacy, I wouldn't worry about your comment. It's just a trash take.

Provider restrictions are the reason many people can't torrent, even with a VPN, changing settings, etc. many countries implement this.

I think people should learn2torrent now, so you won't end up like a whiner. Can't torrent? well, there's always streaming for you. Cope.

Dat you NeoLX?  The only people that complain are crappy uploaders who don't like comments about their crappy releases.

Without comments you take a risk of grabbing bad files. If you don't like the comments then just don't read them. It's not like someone is forcing you to read them.

What I was thinking and hoping for is that when the time comes and someone is able to create an AnimeTosho successor - I think someone said this before, but we still need an operations like this but without the comment section for each page.

The biggest pleas from the majority of us right now is still being able to come to a site like this to simply DDL certain anime episodes that we're looking for after the respective torrents get posted and processed. And of course, all other components as well like anime subtitle files, etc.

so long, and thanks for all the fish

Yes, you could separate the uploading component from the AniDB tagging. You could also completely skip downloading/torrenting, at the expense of not being able to do hash based matching (though that often doesn't work too well).

I do plan on releasing all code relevant to this project.

Appreciate your kind comments.

Thank you for running AnimeTosho for all these years.

I understand the shutdown of the AnimeTosho, but I was wondering if the website episode indexing feature could continue operating without DDL. For example, maintaining the episode database and parsing releases from sites like Nyaa without hosting or uploading mirrors.
Many users rely on AnimeTosho for its unique episode indexing and release history. I always went to have something like MangaUpdates or NovelUpdates but for anime episodes .
Also, do you have any plans to release the source code for the website? i love to keep a private copy for private use and as part of my internet history.

Thank you again for all the work you've put into the project.

the best

Thank you so much for al your work throughout the years! I've been lurking an dl from here for at least 5 years. This was my go to as it was easier to search with a no frills feel of the old internet. Though disappointed w the decision, I can understand. Hoping someone can take up the mantle. If you all have suggestions of other similar sites, Id appreciate it

RIP

If only that was true...

Shiru is always playing catch up with Hayase's features, and they pretty much write none of the code. They just forked old Miru, slapped some dogshit JS on top of it, and call it "better", and whenever any actual problem shows up they go "oh yeah its bugged in upstream, idk how to fix it", and wait for Hayase to fix the bug in their dependencies, so they can take the fix/update to latest version and be happy after doing no work. They also still use Miru's old API for metadata, and the fact that hasn't been taken down yet is insane. Gotta love the constant code stealing from Hayase too, they even got DMCA'd over it once, then went "oh yeah we'll talk to our lawyers", after which they compiled with the takedown, lawyer probably told them "wtf you're stealing code what did u expect" lol

Now it all works just fine, thanks!
