Hi i am new to NZB what is the server to use? i tryed animetosho.org in NZBGet, but i get "Connection to feed.animetosho.org failed: Error 10060 " am i missing something here?

I don't unfortunately.
You can try searching for guides, like this one to start off (be aware that many of them out there are ancient though). One thing that you may not find in guides yet could be important to you, are privacy implications - providers may attach info pointing back to you on posts you make, so consider that when making public posts.

The way advanced mean is not like that, as the world more modern, they use new hardware such as SSDs and the latest server devices.

There's no way they're still using 12 years old hardware.

Thanks for your many years of running this site admin! Going to miss the nzb mirrors for archiving posts!

Usenet is 12 years older than the Internet itself so it's not that advanced lol

Just a collection of computers can that talk using a protocol

Some might host anime if you pay them

It's easy to download, but you need a paid subscription and sabnzbd. And an indexer but everything here is on nzbking.

I've never used usenet, how advanced is this service?

Do you have any advice or a guide for someone who wants to post to public usenet?

> You don't care about piracy.

Neither do you if you personally have to set up a site.
I have several places I can get files from and will miss this site mainly because of the one stop shopping.
BTW, the admin wants to move on to other things he didn't say he was being forced to shut down.

I'm sure the admin has given it some thought but doing so would make who he is known.
Also he said he would release the files so someone can set up their own site, maybe you?
If not then piss off.

They are doing us a favour by killing the site and leaving us with no alternatives? Oh I am SO grateful. Nyaa is barely maintained anymore. Tosho is closing down. This is how CR wins. You don't care about piracy.

He could hand over the servers and meta-data to someone who can host the site? You know, instead of killing such a brilliant, important piracy archive. We used this site for years and now it's dying. This is how corporations win, when we shutdown and close off all our resources, pirates are left with nothing. How many more sites needd to die before you understand the gravity of the situation? If you want to pay for Crunchyroll, be my guest.

I will be missing this site too! Where can I get translated Donghua and Anime in one easy place.
hope someone can suggest alternatives.
You guys are the best and a thousand thanks is not enough.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this site.

You're looking for something trivial like this, going to work there, unemployed!

for so long a time,maybe more than 5 years i am using this webside instead of nyaa ,because the region where i was born and live is quite unic,anyway it also does not allow me to comment .
this webside have done a great work in this period,thank you very much and hope you success in the future.

Sites need someone to manage them though - they don't really just "run themselves". You can have different levels of involvement, but it's never really zero.
Even a pure community group on some third-party managed website needs management (unless you don't care for any moderation whatsoever).

I must have been blind.
Thank you for pointing me to your contact form!
I just sent you a message.

I mainly meant as a way to keep the site operational after your departure. But, I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than organizing a community group to keep it running when things break.

The idea is, since it's mostly automated, turn it into an anonymous self-run site with minor intervention when needed. You can depart and stop, and the community would take on the responsibility.

I know it's not likely possible (since setting up a community is extremely difficult) or will happen, but it's just sad when quality parts of the internet die off.

You can post here, or if you really don't want others to see it, go here.

I could not find a way to contact the admin directly.
Would someone please point me to the correct contact?

The updates process here is pretty much all automated already.
As for 'community run', I'm not sure how that'd work exactly. If it's basically people manually reuploading from torrents with associated metadata, I'm sure someone could set up a forum to accomplish that. It wouldn't be what this site does though.

As a hypothetical ... what would it take to change this site to community run or automated?

Is it money? Logistics?

No, it's unrelated. As above commenter points out, the feed is running in degraded mode due to the server running out of bandwidth. Search queries (those with 'q' parameter) are likely affected the most.
It should be back to normal in 2-3 days.

Thanks for raising the issue and sorry for the inconvenience.

From the top of AT main page:
"8th Feb 2026: The storage/feed/API server is quickly approaching its bandwidth quota (which resets in a week). <...> (some requests will fail) to conserve bandwidth until the quota resets."

Hello I'm seeing a lot of error 500 responses when trying to query the feed, for example:
https://feed.animetosho.org/json?eid=2...=1&q=1080p
will sometimes return

Internal error
Failed to connect to search server.

is this expected with the upcoming shutdowns?

But seriously, if anyone manages to see about creating a "successor" after this site's operations ceases torrent fetching/processing in May, *please* let all of us know. As I said earlier, I've been using this site to get the Aikatsu and Precure episodes in question when they post especially. IMHO, a resource like this is still badly needed.

> are interested in buying popunder ads from your site.

Sorry AT doesn't sell "popunder ads".

Your site is not ready, create pages, blogs, media, about, terms, contact us etc., so that it can be trusted.

Hi!
We run an advertising network, adsson.com and are interested in buying popunder ads from your site. Could you please share your rates and available GEOs?
Thanks, Luka

Guess my anime watching days are numbered. Time to take up being a boozehound again. Take what you can.. Give nothing back! *clink mugs*

Someone throw money at him until he changes his mind. *Throws money at screen*

Hi, there are some warez sites that i use to download full seasons animes in BD.
There is always a option.

Thanks Admin for spoiling us rotten for so long.

It's going to be a pain to find new anime and enjoy it in the future.
For non torrent downloads or direct net free streaming it's back to 720p or worse, good sites skipping anime they don't like, waiting  a week or more for new episodes, tags, pay only or throttled download links and sources being shut down constantly by the efforts of pay to view sites.

Those who have experienced free anime enjoyment almost exclusively thru Anime Tosho  are in for quite an unpleasant time once things end here.

Thanks again for providing one of the greatest of all time anime sites ever.

Thank you for all these years of fetching and backing up content.
I’ve been using AT since 2020, and it’s been a great help overall, dramas aside.

I wish you the best in your future projects, hopefully less time-consuming and more focused on what you enjoy doing!

At least you tried.

I'm sad this place is shutting down, but it's not a betrayal. The admin has been doing us all a big favour for many years. I'm grateful they ran the site for as long as they did.

Unfortunately no.

Is there a way you can just maintain the attachments (subtitles) for future uploads? I don't care about DDL or screenshots but I always used this site to quickly download the subs without having to download the entire torrent.

Add one more thank you to all the gratitude. The web won't be the same without AT.

<O

After Animetoshio down i will definetely gonna be missing some series that is not under the weekly schedule in the future. In fact i already miss one ova series by not using animetosho for this week.

Thank you. Just thank you. <3

Oh my god.. Admin, thank you for your long service. I am devastated, though. Almost like when another torrent indexer went off..

I pray that somebody creates something similar to AT. Thank you for everything. o7

fk it i know this is a fking ad, but gemini 1.5 pro? i guess the one pro i am using is 3, isn't this too old lol

Piss off, Roy. I've been here since shortly after he started this site. He in no way is "betraying" anyone.
I bet you're the type that says a group has "betrayed" you when they quit releasing. The admin has outlasted lots of groups in longevity and has done it at no cost to any of us. Do you expect him to be your "slave" for life?
