The things like "Trusted/A+" release is just useless, I still don't get why Nyaa applied that shit in the first place and it was incredibly biased. There's a ton of shitty releases with "trusted" status there.
My suggestion is, if you see a group that you familiar of, just assume it was good release for you.
Is there any way to distinguish quality/reliable torrents? As in something similar to nyaa's 'trusted' feature.
Aside from all the obvious Horriblesub stuff, even if not everyone agrees, I can at least reliably watch but when it comes to stuff outside of airing seasonal, I've had to take several gambles with random torrents for things like OVAs, specials and other shows not being simulcasted.
Actually, I appreciate many of these efforts. There would be no sense in ignoring a base script and translating from scratch. DDY's Flying Witch and Maid Dragon I think of as examples of making something better.
And we get an OP and ED translation, which I also appreciate.
Don't forget they also heavily advertised the use of magnet links in-between Nyaa going offline and Nyaa.si being used, and they still link magnets on their sites. So there is a good chance that a lot of their downloads aren't being counted on Nyaa.si because of it. That and like one of the other 'Anonymous' mentioned, Old-Nyaa didn't count actual downloads, it counted each time the 'download' torrent link was clicked. So it could easily been inflated and by no means was an indicator of actual downloads made via the torrent itself.
This would be better suited to be asked on our IRC channel, blog, or forum tbh... Even if I do check here. Anyways currently we don't have any plans for it, but it could happen, so I won't say it's a definite no.
Changed for what reason? Do you think anyone would edit and re-post with Horrible's name trying to improve something without taking credit for their efforts?
Or are you worried about malicious changes trying to harm Horrible's brand?
I've never heard of either happening. Those who do a "CR-Mod" (Cruncyroll-modified, editing to improve Horrible) always take credit for their efforts and give it their own brand name.
CRC, btw, is easy to fake and no protection against fraud. It's only a check on garbled transmission, and the torrent hash already provides a check on that. You'd need a more substantial file hash check to detect fraud.
You seem to be very concerned about getting 'authentic' (from named source) files. But I haven't seen any fake Horribles or fake GJM or fake Commie or fake FFF or fake anything else, so I don't understand your concern.
CRC matches from where? Most release don't contain any CRC hash in the filename. And unlike scene, fansubs don't include .sfv/.nfo file in the torrent.
- Show on the download page (not the file list) whether the CRC matches. - Create a trusted flag where you compare the torrent uploader with the group in the filename. Maybe also a trusted+ page for well established groups. - Create a second rss feed for stuff after it is done uploading to all hosts and shows download links to multiple files.
Awesome :) Many thanks for fixing. Also seems like AniDex has added a few more categories now - don't know if the scraping needs some modifying: http://puu.sh/vQwtB/4b218cefd1.png
I never knew that "Gimme more catgirls" link was to the forums. Just clicked on it today after a few years of using this website. Always thought it was odd I didn't find a forum here. Only to find its disguised lol.
Always wanted to express gratitude and say "Thank You" for keeping this amazing anime website running and in the pure format that its in. No bullsh*t. Just the right amount of anime to cause your eyes to bleed from never ending days of no sleep from bingeing.
Also really appreciate the multiple file host site links....great for multi-file host members.
FFF, Kaitou, Glue, Commie, and HS apparently are backing/using Nyaa.si or will be soon anyways according to what they've said. While it seems DDY and Asenshi might just stick to minglong. Most of the other groups seem content with sticking with Anidex at this point from what I've read or been told: Tsundere, GJM, Catar, LostYears, Kametsu, Doki, Kantai and I believe SallySubs. It remains to be seen, and obviously things can change. Seems like a lot of it has to do with what features Si intends to replicate from Nyaa or create and how soon they'll get their site to not be so featureless. But of course some groups are simply not going to utilize it because of who operates it. Same as those groups utilizing it are mostly doing it because of who operates Anidex, rather than because of any real valid concerns of either. While Nyaa.Pantsu has basically been abandoned by every group at this point and seems to have rescinded itself to being another scraper that simply automates adding content from all the other options similar to TokyoTosho/ShanaProject/etc.
Ok, so it seems I was just the unfortunate bastard who submitted something when maintenance was being done and thus it never got fetched. Have put it on to TT.
LOL what? where did you get that from? All major fansubs groups not associated with Nyaa, has always used Minglong and will continue to do so. Stop spreading lies, Herkz!
Sadly, it's not gonna happen, some renowned big fansub groups have sided together and decided to not support nyaa.si, exactly because it's run by HS & co. If you look closely at what was uploaded on nyaa.si recently, you'll notice that only one fansub has made an upload there. They really are avoiding it like a plague.
