Or, you can gamble your luck and try some Anime Tosho voodoo magic. My 8-ball says that your desires may be fulfilled if you paste the following into your address bar, hit Enter, and reload the page. javascript:void(document.cookie='ant[theme]=121;path=/')

I doubt you'll find many website owners out there who actually plan to shutdown their website, and I don't consider myself different in that regard. Anime Tosho launched mid 2011, so we're nearly 5 years old!
There are questions/requests that get posted around here every now and then - anyone is welcome to help out with these. Or providing bits of related/interesting information can be useful.
Or, if you prefer coding, there's the PAR2 and NNTP clients that we use to enable NZB generation here. As I'm the only person currently maintaining those projects, contributions are certainly welcome.
I've also just updated the FAQ section with pretty much what I said above.
You guys are awesome, thanks so much <3. Being a coder myself, I can only imagine how much work and time goes into this. Is there any way for an everyday user like to to help/support this site?
But, if it's really the fact that Mr. Tibb is already not here, I hope he's happy with how, or where, or what he wish. And I perhaps can not thanks him (or her?) for what's been provided to us.
And there is one that uses it own private server instead of public download services. They offer faster downloads for members that donate: http://chauthanh.info/
It's not likely unless Mega changes their policies back to what they used to be in the beginning, which is unlikely. Now they require accounts (or surrogate accounts from multi-hosts). These free accounts are limited to 50GB each. Our traffic is 100 - 200GB per day. It's likely they created this policy specifically with sites like AT in mind.
Once you cleared it up, it turned out your position was the most extreme and cynical one that it is possible to hold on this subject, no imagination required.
I think you altered your previous note a little, and now I understand. You're saying the remakes category is meaningless and Nyaa's rules are tools to justify their favoritism for certain people or groups.
I wouldn't exactly agree or disagree. I think there is more to it, like rising or cyclic apathy, and how their probable list of favorites has been shrinking over the years, (Can it really be called a "cartel" anymore?). However, Nyaa has said many times in the past that they are a private organization and not a public utility and therefore can do whatever they want. I think they should feel honored if others want them to be more than that, but they're certainly within their rights of ownership.
Taking the most cynical view, I have mixed feelings about the possible ultimate effect of such a remakes category. On the one hand, anything that encourages the fansubs and original fansub content would be fine with me, however meaningless it may be as information to the consumer. On the other hand, anything that may discourage BD providers is not good as far as I'm concerned. I don't know where the balance should be.
Sorry, but I can't figure what you're trying to say. You seem to be hinting at some hidden meanings behind these things. Well, that would make life interesting.
To me, the fairness issues here don't seem complicated.
As for my credentials, I've been in the fansub scene a loooooong time.
According to Nyaa (via a certain moderator of NT), the remake category is to protect the credit of the groups (read: some certain groups) that create contents (read: and outrightly deny that of anyone else). It has lost its usefulness long ago. It seems that you don't know that, as expected of someone not in the fansub scene.
And what you just said is clearly irrelevant to what I said.
Substantively, uploading a torrent as a remake should mean something. And tagging files as if they came from a particular group should mean something. You're suggesting, in the negative, that original files with their original file names can be categorized as remakes if the torrent author wants to do so. Policy-wise, I don't see how that could do anything except create confusion and make the remakes category a meaningless classification.
Basically, like the user on Nyaa, I'd like to know if this is a re-encode. If it is, I'd like the file name to reflect that. If it's the original file with it's original file name, I'd like to know why the torrent author wants to classify it as a remake.
I don't like to propagate files that are falsely labelled, and Nyaa has frequently deleted torrents that have inappropriate tags. Horrible deserves it's branding.
>Specifically, this torrent was submitted to Nyaa as a remake, in which case it shouldn't use the HorribleSubs file names There is no such rule. Are you confusing with the rule of torrents must be marked as remakes if the files are reuploaded with non-original filenames?
Your link refers to: [HorribleSubs] World Trigger ~ Batch 1-73 [480p].mkv ~ [WolfPack]
This torrent appears to break Nyaa's rules, so I thought we'd wait for it to be straightened out, rather than create and waste links that would be deleted if Nyaa deletes the torrent. Specifically, this torrent was submitted to Nyaa as a remake, in which case it shouldn't use the HorribleSubs file names --you can't make a file look like HorribleSubs released it if they didn't, basically. The torrent description is ambiguous as to what it contains. The question has been posed on Nyaa as to whether or not it's a re-encode. No answer by the torrent author so far.
Horrible has been doing their own batches. If this is just Horrible's files, I'd prefer to wait for Horrible's torrent, at which point we would probably delete this in favor of HorribleSubs official release, if it is really not a remake of some kind.
Even though I had seen it here yesterday. Tried searching but no luck. Can you provide any help?
***************************************** ***************************************** Hi Anon,
Pardon my entering your note, but I didn't want this to get lost in the discussion below.
I think we waited long enough for some answers from the torrent author but answers don't seem to be coming. Nyaa hasn't deleted it, so here it is. You can find it at: https://animetosho.org/view/world-trigger.978575
I wouldn't have thought the US could execute arrest warrants for copyright violations by a German citizen living in New Zealand. We live in a strange world.
I think that this is really no different to how the rest of the internet works. Taking down content, once it's been distributed, is usually an impossible task as demonstrated by the efficiency of uploaders, torrents and magnet links. Not to mention automated scraping services and caching systems which often make automated copies of content which may be removed. I'd also like to point out that the DMCA is also a US-only law that does not necessarily apply to the rest of the world, so a newgroup provider needing to be in strict compliance with it may not even be necessary.
Really appreciate your concern and suggestion though, and it is certainly under consideration.
Here at AT it looked like Nyaa maybe was down for a bit, but we're running torrents from both now. ------------ Update: FFF said someone started up another DDOS today while they were trying to seed a torrent. I assume the attack is aimed at Nyaa. A nujmber of TT torrents are secondary Nyaa listings, so if Nyaa stops so do they. I have no info on Bakabt.
Expect on and off interruptions in service if there is a DDOS in progress. ------------------------ It looks like the DDOS, or one DDOS, is aimed at the FFF site.
Is it just me or there's a whole problem with the torrent at nyaa and tokyo tosho right now? None of them is downloading, not to mentioned accessing Bakabt is unavailable at the moment.
Basically, I think it may come down to this: You can say that you tried, and that should be good enough to anyone who is fair minded, I hope. The problem should then move on to the non-complying system managers. But if the material in question is not actually going to be removed, and if you are a large and identifiable provider of anime to Usenet, well, I have my concerns. After all, they would really rather focus on major players rather than put out brush fires.
Quoting Wikipedia: "Removal of copyrighted content from the entire Usenet network is a nearly impossible task, due to the rapid propagation between servers and the retention done by each server. Petitioning a Usenet provider for removal only removes it from that one server's retention cache, but not any others. It is possible for a special post cancellation message to be distributed to remove it from all servers, but many providers ignore cancel messages by standard policy, because they can be easily falsified and submitted by anyone.".[27][28]
The question is whether under such a system one can achieve clear technical compliance for DMCA. Otherwise, it would be a matter for the courts to decide.
I'd say that sending a takedown notice to a usenet host is quite an effective means to remove unwated content (assuming the host complies). Of course, that's only one host - to deal with multiple hosts, you just need to send multiple takedowns.
