None of this is particularly well documented, so I wouldn't be surprised if you had no clue a JSON API existed.

Can you post the last few lines of the traceroute, before it times out (11th step)? This gives an indication of where your packets are being dropped.

I also presume screenshots don't load for you here?

hey hey hey!!! idk if anyone's said this b4 but is there a way that someone could add whether the download is dub or sub? would be kinda nice to know for some of the series i like to watch in dub  𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ՞ 𐦯

That's super handy to know, thanks!
In hindsight I probably should've taken a look at the JSON API before posting, since it makes sense that it'd have more freedom to include anime specific data.

i tried all the steps in that article, the ping gives back timeout and the traceroute timeouts at the 3 step and then works fine until the 11th where it timeouts again

If you want help, you'll need to supply a lot more info.
See the I can't access Anime Tosho without using a proxy/Tor section as well, but for feed.animetosho.org

for some reason i'm unable to connect to the rss feed

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately 'anidbid' is not listed as a valid attribute for Newznab (and subsequently for Torznab).

AniDB IDs are returned in the JSON API (replace /api with /json in the URL).

To be more clear, what I'm suggesting is adding a <newznab:attr name="anidbid" value="#####"/>, where ##### is the anidb id for the the series associated with a given <item/>

Would it be feasible to add additional database IDs to the newznab/torznab feed? I'm working on a tool currently, and it would be a lot easier if I had access to the AniDB ID for a given item in the newznab response.

Hi, I found some database errors that need to be corrected:

tyvm! if I find anything else I'll be sure to let you know! I promise I won't go overboard, you just kinda disappeared after your initial message so I thought I was getting ignored lol

a thousand apologies and thank you

Thanks for pointing it out, but you don't need to repeat this like ten times - I get the idea.

please manually fix the database entry for that torrent so it goes under the correct series name.

the series label for whatever reason is missing. just fix it when you can bro tyvm

https://animetosho.org/series/kidou-se...gundam.718

yo the entry you've linked was uploaded but it's UNLABELLED within your database, and should be labelled under "Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta" like how these series are:

https://animetosho.org/view/hchcsen-mo...x.n1677237


the series tag is missing: https://animetosho.org/series/kidou-se...gundam.718

pls fix this asap

I see the issue, its not labelled in the tosho database as Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta. please label the show correctly and we're good

https://animetosho.org/series/kidou-se...gundam.718

It's older than the average user here.

At the time of writing, it's on page two of those results: https://animetosho.org/view/mobile-sui...c.n1366609

If it helps, you can try doing an ID lookup if you have a Nyaa link. That is, take nyaa.si/view/<ID> and visit animetosho.org/view/n<ID>

Why would people still be talking about that show?

Whuuuuut

Why do I not hear anyone talk about Omamori Himari?

I did try searching for the torrent here so cant say I didn't try

https://animetosho.org/search?q=sxales&page=3

but sxales' Zeta Gundam tortent missing from the search results

unable to find sxales' torrent for zeta gundam on the site, despite it being uploaded to nyaa.si before. file is missing or not being mirrored correctly idk

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (BDRip 1492x1080p x265 HEVC FLACx2 2.0x2)(Dual Audio)[sxales]

please fix as soon as possible

Below is a batch script I run for attachment renaming that I want to pass on.
It's intended for season batches so you need episode folders with .mkv as a suffix.
After running, user is prompted to select the track number of the sub file.
Makes new folders, "chap, font, old", sub files are copied and renamed to "episode folder name-original name", chapters are copied to "chap" and renamed same as subs, attachments are moved to font and renamed to "episode folder name" and everthing else is moved to old.
Script(copy everything below and save as a .bat file)

Looking at his avatar, Takopii no Genzai must be one of his favorites.

I appreciate the attempt at flattery, but I'm perfectly capable of handling this already.

thanks for looking into it, now it looks fine

lol stop pestering the admin, don't you realise they're busy in the background working away to bring us our anime? They're fkn legends, what more do you need to know?

It's the night before all saints day, which is a fancy version of the day of the dead

DiJoubo, I'm here!

I had high hopes for a nice green Froppy theme but ya, Youko best girl shout has merit

Youko!

Thanks for raising that. It seems like that one actually did 'work', or I've got a bug somewhere.
I've adjusted that one, so hopefully it does what you expected.

hi,

if the primary tracker is not working please show seeders/leechers/complete downloads count from the next best tracker, here for an example:

2025 Q4 style = Mustard

very cool stuff

fingers crossed it stays without issue

Oh, alright. Well, at least you’re enjoying anime, you’re not just doing all this to index releases without actually watching any of them, haha.

I don't really have favorites.

Do what? You mean like making a ridiculous comment as yours?

ALL MIGHT!!!!!

Do It!!!!!!

If were going rare then it has to be La Brava!!!!!!!!

Froppy!

Mibbe not Deku cos too obvious and 2 guy mascots in a row,

Legendary animu in it's final season Kamon animetosho!

Boku no Hero Academia for this seasons mascot-kara wen?

[TMI?]

Oh, interesting! Are you more into action-packed anime, or do you prefer slice-of-life ones? What’s your all-time favorite anime series?
(If you say One Punch Man, my condolences lol.)

Yes I do watch releases.

Do you watch some of the releases you're fetching or are you just interested in indexing?
