I have the gg version and it's a riot. A bit bawdy, nice artwork.
I'd love to get this DmonHiro's polished up BD version from yuki, if you're willing. It's from 2011 but Nyaa says it still has 8 seeders today. -Wow, it just went up to 9 seeders on a refresh.
I checked AT's listing and only found a few episodes of the BD ever came here.
Oh, I tried to decompress on a "portable" 7zip I got on a key, and it works there... So I investigated the program directory... and I found that there was a .dll leftover that was being loaded instead of the right one. :P
Seems like I discovered what was causing the issue, I tried with a "selfmade" portable 7zip and it was able to open it.
For reason unknown there was a 7z*32.dll in the 7zip program directory that wouldn't be removed when uninstalling and was being loaded instead of the right one, causing the issue I reported; I deleted it manualy and pooof 7zip started working (unzips the file)! I reinstalled 7zip again, just in case.
That dll was a real 7z one, legit and clean, just in the wrong place, maybe some z7 update went wrong. I suspect windows may have reported it as being in use during a reinstall, so it wasn't deleted.
Lately windows is more annoying than linux (at least fixing permissions issue there is easier). Anyway all is fine now.
What does "7z.exe i" (i = info) output? Does the list include format "7z" and codec "Swap4"? (this is the coded used by the 7z file in question, as revealed by "7z l file_137400.7z" [l = ell = list])
yes, got a new file to try since I deleted the old one. I suppose you use a cli / unix tool to compress the files, can you please let me know the complete parameter list? I want to try some test here. The thing that puzzles me is why I have no issues with spanned archives.
No virus nor malware, I'm pretty good at keepig thet crap out. Tried every thing, from different builds, betas, alphas, older, 32 bit builds. Nothing. I may try other utilities, but I like 7z and don'tplan to change it (issues happens only on this site). Sadly, unzipping from the program windows fails too. Thanks anyway for your help.
FWIW the file works fine for me, too. No problem decompressing it with p7zip 9.20 64 bit (command line version). MD5 is 63f145d0045758b90120e11366cb5c33 as well.
That file looks fine. I presume that this is a different issue from what you previously mentioned? (failed open vs crash)
Anyway, the file works fine here. I'm not sure what your problem could be. If you have another computer, or a virtual machine installed, perhaps try it on there.
We try not to change file names. Probably better take this up with groups that do this, or Windows applications which don't fix up file names. (just for your information, only Windows has those file name restrictions)
Do be aware that we are primarily only interested in English releases, so if other languages take your fancy, AT isn't really the place for it. I've pushed the file anyway, but won't be extracting the audio.
Random always makes me think virus/malware. I assume that you regularly check with signature-criterion and heuristic products. I expect you know their limits.
I hope the reinstall does the trick.
What else: 1. If you're using the 64-bit version of 7-zip, uninstall and try the 32-bit version. And vice versa. (Don't have both installed at the same time. That created problems for me some years ago.) 2. Try other zip utilities. I don't know if Winzip or Winrar or others have kept up with the latest 7z format. 3. Unzip from the program window, not the right-click context menu. Once upon a time that made an occasional difference.
HW is fine, I have trusty tools for checking that kind of issues, so I'm sure it's not HDD, nor RAM. (better stuff than windowze builtin stuff anyway) File is saved on D:\, so no char limit is possible; also, longer named (spanned) files have no issues. (that's why it's puzzling, if it were a costant thing it would be easier to triage) Will try a reinstall, but I don't think it's a corrupt exe, more like some bug in the 7z compressor/decompressor pairing.
Thanks for all the specifics. First of all, I downloaded the link you included and it unzipped and played without a hitch: Akame ga Kill! PV1 -a strange concept. I hope "Hidamari Sketch Kill" is not forthcoming.
So it works for me and others (no other complaints I know of) but not for you. The question, of course, is why.
In terms of fixes (apologies if I'm repeating myself) the two most common unzip problems I find are:
1. trying to unzip with something other than the current version of 7-zip:
2. Windows has a path limit of 255 characters expressed as a file inside a folder inside other folders to the root. I hit that limit now and then with long anime titles. To see if that's the problem, create a "Ziptemp" folder in the root directory of the drive and try to unzip there. After unzip, move the contents where you want them.
When things crash or act weird and inconsistently, I've found it's often that 255 character limit.
3. Any zip utility can get corrupted. Un-install and re-install.
I think the md5 as you describe it eliminates the download manager or download process as the problem.
I don't see how it could be a problem at our end if it works for other people.
I'll leave the hex editor stuff to admin or others.
P.S. If you haven't yet, you might want to check the integrity of your drives. All drives fail eventually, and sometimes have sporadic problems as they go. (Rt click on drive letters, properties, tools, error check -probably).
Again on .7z issues (was offline for a long time and didn't see previous answer) Downloaded http://d-h.st/ebs (devhost), md5 is the same as devhost one (63f145d0045758b90120e11366cb5c33) Trying to open it makes .7z crash on open ("This program has stopped working..."); happens only on some AT .7z, other .7z are fine, also most >1GB spanned archives are unaffected. HxD output here: http://postimg.org/gallery/8r8vxdc0/e5b6a171/ I hope it'll help solving it, I suppose in the future archives will be used a lot more ;)
For your information, that's Tibb's website. However, I think it may depend on the available width in your browser - if there's not enough, the size column gets wrapped and you have newlines inserted between files.
I want to thank both of you very much. You've given me some good solutions and toe-holds to other ideas. I had worked up a scanner that updated a merged pivot spreadsheet (to keep it light), but it was lacking in so many ways.
My friend has 16 TiB collection spanned over about a dozen so so HDDs. He uses a DC++ client to catalog the data and uses the file list made to find the anime he wants. The file-list is in XML format.
I also use it.
Downside is, since those clients are made for sharing data, they hash all of it which takes a lot of time (took me two days to hash 2x4 TB + 1x2 TB HDDs)
If you are going to use it, you'd need to open your client and open your own file-list. BTW I use DC++, although ApexDC and AirDC are lighter.
You could always assign all your drives to the same letter, provided you don't have more than one plugged in at the same time.
It's certainly an odd setup though. With single hard drives up to 6TB available these days, most people don't need many, and there's usually not much of a reason to disconnect the few hard drives that you do have. And others just have NAS boxes.
If you never/rarely update the contents of a drive, using the DIR command, redirecting the output to a text file, suggested above, is actually quite practical.
Otherwise, there are a few technical difficulties with trying to make an application which does this, such as the overhead of scanning the whole drive every time it is connected, how to identify drives (as well as which ones need to be indexed, if they're constantly being swapped in/out), dealing with potential drive letter changes etc. Still, it seems theoretically possible, although I'm surprised that you say you can't find anything. A quick search for "usb hard drive catalog files" seems to turn up a number of results such as http://superuser.com/questions/759193/...-store-off
The problem so far with optical media solutions is they don't address the drives issue -- all just d:\ or whatever. And the others, so far, behave like Microsoft, from a conception of all hard drives attached all the time, detach drive --> remove data. Even Picasso. I guess I'm ahead of the curve or out of the mainstream on using USB drives. But I am surprised if I'm the only AT users with this problem.
Thanks anyway. If I have to build it from the ground up, maybe I'll name it for AnimeTosho.
I know there's a bunch of CD/DVD cataloging applications around to help people, with a large collection of archived optical media, organise and find stuff. It should be similar to what you need. I've never used any, but perhaps try searching for those and see if they work for you.
I have an anime collection that spans several USB hard drives. The drives are only connected when I'm working with that drive.
I'd like a single master directory on my laptop internal drive that displays the name of the folders and files of all the external drives even when they are disconnected, so I would know which drive to plug in to find a certain show.
It would be nice if this master directory could also sort by folder name, drive, or date.
Any suggestions? I've been looking around sourceforge and cnet, but gakk. I'm also wondering if OpenOffice could do it.
(Note: Win7 includes a library function that would be ok except won't retain/display the contents of disconnected drives.)
there're no ads on this site, does it happen only here? I think your browser might be infected with some toolbar or similar PuP stuff, better if you do a browser scan with avast or similar programs and update your browser, I recommend firefox though.
I think you're right about my browser being hijacked or something like that ... I opened my router page via its IP and got the same popup.. so it's my own problem, thanks for confirming that ..
I will format this pc asap and reply you again after that... sorry for any troubles I may caused you ^^
Edit: The site is clean on the portable version of Firefox .. I feel ashamed after saying all that lol..Thanks to all of you for helping me .. will start format this weekend :)
There are no third party ads or trackers here whatsoever. In fact, there are no third party requests when visiting pages on AT at all, with some exceptions: - older /view/* pages had images hosted on Imgur/Imageshack - /series/* pages pull images from AniDB
Apart from that, all requests should either be coming from animetosho.org or storage.animetosho.org domains. If there's anything else, I suspect your browser may be hijacked.
Try this - download a fresh copy of Firefox Portable or Palemoon Portable, close your browser and use that to browse this site. Do you get any ads with that?
it's not just that .. the virus site is arabyonline.com which appeared now when I opened the site and clicked on feedback link, it seems that the first click when you open the site makes the ad popup...here's another screenshot.. please remove that **** site, it makes the browsers get infected and cause many problems ...
Edit: I just figured it ... I can right click on one of the addresses in the adblocker list like what's in that screenshot and choose "block this item" then it won't appear .. hope so .. will reply if it gets blocked forever in future uses
I always use turbobit from the sites that upload on it. I don't expect the filehoster have problem but I asked because I had a popup ad, nothing major as .. maybe I had that problem from another site.. dunno
