AT doesn't attempt to maintain active links.  Once our links are dead you'll need to find another source, like irc or an archive like http://chauthanh.info/ or ftp offerings, or fansub ddls, or another user willing to share.

Hello, I don´t know if this goes here. I used to love this website but lately all files I try to download are invalid or deleted. Do you have any system for checking or reporting on this things? Is there any way to reupload the dead links? Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately we're mostly just a "dumb mirror" and I intend to stick to that for now.
I think you'd be better off taking your concerns to Nyaa/TT as well, especially since we have no control over influencing seed/download numbers.

I may implement some default filtering of ISO files (should be considered raws, in my opinion) but it's not high on my priority list at the moment.
We did use to list Chuthanh links here, but site changes on their side broke my parser, and I never bothered to fix it up. I may list some more external resources in the future.

Your example is really interesting, with a re-encode getting 10 times the downloads of the original?!  I think maybe that's an artifact of the original coming out incrementally as well as batched, but no way to confirm that since the incremental torrents have been deleted.  But even so, 55K downloads of the deadfish re-encode is notable.

The short summary is that you know what you want and it bothers you if other people want something else.  Two solutions: 1. Start your own website catering only to your own preferences.; 2. Appreciate what you appreciate and let others appreciate what they appreciate.  Catering to the market is smart business.  Trying to police the universe will give you ulcers.

Making fun of the poor?  Remember this day when disaster strikes.


What sort of whack-job knows to the penny what he paid for something 5 years ago?

Better have the nurse check your medication.

wow, you're a retard.
I bought my PC for about only $454.752 (yes, it was kinda cheap) in 2010. Specs -http://i.imgur.com/0P4rJFV.png
I can play H264, 10-bit & HEVC just perfectly even the 1080p encodes as well on my so-cheap PC.
Even f you could afford $30-40 for internet every month, then you can surely buy a new better PC, no? (Assuming you're a loser & have 20-30 year old PC with XP/ 2000/ 1998 & on, that is...)

Hi admin,
can you ban kami, AnimeRG, Noobsubs, project-gxs. etc? They are nothing but spamming losers who're just exploiting your bandwidth by making shitty lq re-encodes that no one wants  & sometimes even begging for donation for taking others' work, ruining the quality, how stupid does it sound? Also, aren't there already Deadfish & Hi10 who's already doing pointless stuff just that? I have often seen comments here saying that most of the times they're out of sync too...
The more you allow/ fetch/ upload them to 30+ hosts for each file, the more number of pointless re-encoding groups will only keeps increasing over the time.
They are the evil people who are killing the anime torrent & fansub community.
For example: Softsubbed high quality DVD-Rip Remux - [ASN]_D.Gray-Man_001_-_103_COMPLETE_[h264-480p_AC3] 6 seeders 3 leechers 5282 downloads
while a re-encoded hardsubbed low-quality crap of the above - [DeadFish] D.Gray-man - Batch [DVD][480p][MP4][AAC] 18 seeders 14 leechers 55177 downloads
Seriously WTF is this shit?

To be honest, it's for your own good.
Also can you ban salvotnt?, all of their torrents should belong to non-english translated anime category. they are deliberately exploiting nyaa & this site.
Also here's another suggestion, can you do something about automatically skipping torrents with .DVDISO /.VOB/ .IFO files
& also can you skip all the re-encode torrents over 3-6 GB. It would save you a lots, lots of bandwidth.
You can also redirect any noobs to awesome sites that archive high-quality anime archiving sites like http://chauthanh.info/anime/, https://bakabt.me/
otherwise what's the point of fetching 1000s of useless torrents?

Thank you so much for the info. I haven't thought about trying a player with internal decoding. It looks indeed like the screenshots.

The screenshots are just dumped from mplayer, so decoding would use its internal codecs, and since it's never rendered to a screen, bypasses any GPU/driver quirks.
GUIs around mplayer, like SMPlayer exist, if you want to try it. Whilst they'll bypass many system codec / DirectShow filter issues due to internalised decoding, it'll probably still be affected by the GPU pipeline.

MPC-HC 1.7.10 is released

another codec whore

huh? y do u want jpeg?

try visiting 2ch/4ch

u don't look around much do u?

what adaption? 70% of my collection is x265.

so we established that anon is an idiot

[Commie] Haikyuu!! [BD 720p AAC] wasn't skipped. The torrent is listed as English-Translated Anime, despite having some additional content.  Based on timestamp, it arrived here an hour and a half before your comment:
https://animetosho.org/view/commie-hai...aac.942148

I think I figured it out, after a proper calibration, it looks as close to the screenshots as possible.

PS. I do have the enhancements turned off in my driver and my usual setup is very similar to nyaa's playback help (MPC-HC/LAV/VSFilter/madVR).

Thanks for the help nonetheless.

Do you have an AMD GPU on Windows? If so, it's very likely due to "enhancement" video setting in AMD Catalyst Center.

Do you use MadVR as output renderer?

I compared screenshots from my own player to the ones here, the colors in mine look a little warm and washed out compared to the ones here. I would like to achieve a picture similar to your screenshots which is probably how it's supposed to look like. I did a lot of Googling, tried a lot of different codec packs and settings, but I couldn't get it to look quite the same.

Could you please tell me what kind of (if present) renderer/decoder/filters/player is used to take screenshots and if it's on default settings or not? Thank you very much for this wonderful website.

admin, can you fetch this nyaa torrent:
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=7561...s=5866a612

probably uncheck the 'Live Event' files since it is what make AT skip this torrent >_>

Nesting 7z won't happen because it's quite hard to implement. I might be able to separate stuff into subfolders though.

this would indeed be the best idea

Category corrected, added to AT at
https://animetosho.org/view/mongee-you...kv.n754479

In that case, I would just stick with attachments from individual files. Aegisub's fonts collector doesn't always run in the way you would wish it would sometimes.

The fonts would be de-duplicated (so "overwritten" I suppose). This would make the download smaller. For playback, you'd just need to stick all the attachments in a place where the renderer can find them.
Any particular need for subfolders?

I passed your observation on to the torrent author.  It's better to fix things at the source.  The AT update bots would probably eventually deleted it otherwise, even if added.

Please add:
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=754479

(Wrong Category, it's English)

You mean a 7z of all the 7z'ed attachments of the torrent?

Thanks, I missed that. I was indeed not looking there. XD
I suppose lots of ppl dl the subs because they have raws that are better than the releases, or just need te subs and don't have bw to waste.
A per torrent 7z for attacment would be nice, ony thing would be be to take care and not overwrite stuff like fonts attachment from diff episodes, but I suppose sub directories can solve this.

btw, if you're specifically interested in this show, the OP and EN lyrics are better in this release:
https://animetosho.org/view/shepardtds...0p.n750676

although both releases apparently use Ryuumaru's subs.  Don't know why or what other differences in text between them.

I'm kinda surprised at the popularity of subtitle links, and they were tucked away because of this.
Perhaps I should introduce a link to a package containing all attachments for a torrent, which should be easier to find...

As rdruffy says.  Here's an easy rule to remember: The subs are under the preview pictures.  If you aren't looking at the preview pictures, you're not at the right place.

Click for individual video release and check the subs there.
The batch release (more than one video) has different downloading menu format.

This link which points to episode 01, has the subtitle download.

I noticed a bunch of torrents doesn't have their sub extracted and served as 7z like usual.
For example: "[Tsundere] Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou", 01+02, 03+04, 05+06 have no subs.
Those are supposed to have subs. What's happening?

sorry to be a bother, i was just wondering if anybody knows where i can possibly try looking for dubbed pokemon episode releases?

Torrents are prefered.

There are both kinds here right now, and my quick survey shows more png than jpg.  It used to depend on the storage location, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  Instead, it probably reflects some internal rules at imgur and the other place about file size or picture characteristics.  For example: https://animetosho.org/view/horriblesu...mkv.939494

previews are: 1. jpg, 2. png, 3. png, 4. jpg, 5. png

Many similar examples.  In Firefox, hover over the thumbnail and look at bottom left of screen for image location and type.

How about making screenshots png instead of compressed jpg?

Man, it's so confusing with all Anonymous users. If you decide to speak, at least pick a name pls!

Thanks for correction and the info.
I thought they're same since the name is same, never know the developers are different.

Gonna look for that orangepi, seems nice :D

And, yeah, licensing is always troublesome issues, though there are several vendor adoption listed at x265.com

Just a correction, x265 isn't developed by the same people who developed x264. x264 developers allowed them to use the name and much of the code base.

The current licensing of HEVC is turning away a lot big players in the video distribution market, so whether it replaces AVC as a standard remains to be seen. Even Intel are hedging their bets by implementing VP9 decode support. Nonetheless, hardware decode support currently exists in a number of recent products; older hardware players won't be so fortunate.

For those looking for a cheap hardware HEVC player, you can set up a US$15 dev board which has a hardware HEVC decoder: http://www.orangepi.org/ There are also pre-made boxes for a bit more, e.g. http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/10/26...ng-for-32/

Is this the future? I don't know, but the anime community has typically experimented with new formats and encodings at the expense of compatibility (or convenience, since transcoding to another format is always possible). Whether you're for it or not, at this stage, probably depends on your luck with the hardware you happen to have.

It' a year I hear the "HEVC is here to stay" thing, no group uses it for releases, exept experiments here and there.
Maybe it'll later become the standard, but not today, since there's no big benefit for current anime, exept encoding taking way longer.
Wait. Just wait and enjoy current content with solid codecs. ;)

also, complain all you like because hevc is here to stay, untill something better comes along and you'll be here to cry a fucking river all over again lol

Thanks, "Surely", but it doesn't sound like you've looked into this much.

lol not "any" but it surely doesnt need a 14nm cpu lol

So according to you, any software codec can make any hardware platform perform, like magic.  Good news!  Any cpu plus a magic codec and you're "good to go".

You're shitting your pants about file size.  How bizarre.

lol "Engineering committee", just install an appropriate codec pack and youre good to go. here, been using these since 2006: http://shark007.net/win7codecs.html

The recommended minimum bed for 264 is i3-2000, according to the 264 Engineering committee.  I can verify that platform does play all flavors of 264 smoothly under Windows, but so far does not for the 1080p HEVC profiles.  It jitters, drops frames, drops subs, drops audio.

And a lot of anime fans have hardware that isn't even up to the higher resolutions and profiles of 264.

Exactly where the minimum watchable hardware specs will fall for HEVC remains to be seen.

Nice to have your assurance that if it works for you, it works for everybody, but clearly that's not the case.
