Wow. "Bloated file size" , "No more raws", 720p anime??? Reading the comments here makes me feel like we are going back to 1995. An here I was hohnesy thinking it was 2017. BIG WOW.

u mean bots. dcc will always be there.

lol?

>visiting website to get cmd > copy-pasting the cmd

Spoken like a true n00b.

/msg botname XDCC BATCH x-y

With these chapters I can do an amv without copyright problems

It's so simple that it actually does nothing.

hate those links that give you another link that give you another link that give you another link.

It can be simple. Nyahahaha!

I don't see how it's annoying. I'd much rather put in a one line command for an entire series batch:
/msg botname xdcc batch 45-67
and let it automate downloading it all without me needing to be around.

Rather than sit at my computer waiting for file host countdown till I can download a second episode and manually input a captcha to get it started.

One pretty much automates everything for me, the other requires me to sit there, wait, and input stuff. So which sounds more annoying?

And most people tend to idle in IRC 24/7 like anyone would do if they used Skype/Discord/OtherMessengerServices so it's not like you're having to go through the motions of connecting to the channel every time you want to download something, nor do you have to 'set up your client' anymore than the initial time you install it. As for setting it up, all the major IRC Networks tend to already be on the Network list... so all you gotta do is click connect. No real setup required.

XDCC needs to be obsure and annoying.  It's what keeps it safe.  If it became easy to use, it would get killed quick.

Okay, then. DDLs and torrents are still less annoying than XDCC, anyway.

Fair enough.

I'm glad you put "illigal" in quotes the second time.  What they do may be perfectly legal.  It depends on the laws where they live.  The only thing you know is whether what you are doing is legal or not where you live.

Okay, keep telling yourself that...

For anybody who've never heard what IRC is, DLing from XDCC is annoying as fck.
Opening IRC client > setting your client and shit > visiting channel > visiting website to get cmd > copy-pasting the cmd > DLing process-done.
On DDLs or torrents, you can do it in with just few clicks.
Don't expect anyone to know IRC these days. That shit is too old.

Whats such a pita about it? It's literally "click filename on parser, copy command, paste said line in irc channel, enjoy".

Not much different than using filehosts which usually happens like "copy filehost link, paste link in download manager, possibly type in captchas or wait for bandwidth caps, enjoy".

Edit: Uh, I mean I was talking about "illegal" fansubs being dying here.
Less and less fansubs subbing cartoons each season.

Yes, official ones like CR, Daisuki, Funimation, etc. HS and other rip groups rips their videos-subtitles from them.
Not illegal fansubs like Commie, GJM, Chihiro, etc, etc.

amount of subbed anime is increasing every season by english licensees, compared to 3-4 years ago.

Learning XDCC is pain the ass, but pretty useful if you already know how to do it.
So that you won't whining and waiting again to get DDLs.
They're always available and won't die except the owner decide to kill them.

Thanks for the info. :)

I ain't talking about piracy in general doe.
I was talking about fansubs rn.
How many fansubs do you think still active right now compare to at least 3-4 years ago when 4 groups could works on the same project?
The thing that would never die is fanrips. A ton of ripping groups beside HS came out like BudLightSubs (probably dead right now), CReep (also dead), AnimeRG, Erai-Raws, and many others who provide us free cartoons in the fastest way.

or just use #intel channel. it's the google of xdcc files

most group give easy to understand guide to download their stuff through IRC
I haven't got to the point that I can explain how it works, but basically
you just need an IRC client (I'm using HexChat),
find out the group's IRC channel,
copy paste the command line needed to download what you want.
p.s. don't let your dreams be dreams
refusing to learn using IRC will just be limiting your resources

-_- http://horriblesubs.info/irc-guide/

that's only the thing I don't know how to dl in IRCs

coz some animes doesn't have complete BDs, I think?

HLS ≠ RTMP

I see

Nah, piracy will never die.
Just the public sharing.
Now you need to work harder to find what you want.
Some say we're going back to IRC + DDL age.

I don't think so.
I've compared the encoding settings for their [Erai, AnimeRG] respective 720p releases for Renai Boukun 09 with HS 720p and they all seem to be slightly different.

why?

like AnimeRG-releasebitch

Erai-raws are just straight CR rips, no encoding has been done. =)
They just rip the higher quality version that HS hasn't been doing.

Although being relatively new, Erai-raws looks promising to me. Though they only encode new shows.

Beatrice is actually usually pretty good... and it's not bloat if the size is actually required which is almost always the case.

lol, yeah.

so the answer is no :/ Ohys suck at quality, and others have bloated size

Since fansubs and anything related to it is dying and pretty much every group is dead, Leopard-Raws is your best choice for on-going shows. SOFCJ if you watch One Piece.
For BD group lol. Pretty much non-existent right now. ReinForce and Beatrice's probably your choice if you want meh quality encodes with bloated size. Ohys if you want standard size, but I can't guarantee the quality.

Who have the best encode for Raw with the standard size?

Thank you ramen.

You're in luck. Awhile back I've uploaded that release to
http://kbagi.com/Ramen2nd/another-2012...ime-508221
for my brother.
Tho to download from there you need to make an account first.
inb4 Google translate should be enough if you don't know Indonesian. I've download stuffs from sites using language I don't/didn't know. Chinese, Russian, spanish, japanese. If you're desperate enough, language shouldn't be a barrier. :^)

can someone reupload this https://animetosho.org/view/underwater...tch.658946

I like how the banner ads don't link to anywhere in particular.

I know

I see

Nyaa.si is the new Nyaa. Forget everything else.

a copy of nyaa's corpse

Yeah yeah
