The inconsistent titles you refer to don't interfere with AT's identification of the series or episode, so what automation are you having trouble with, just to be curious? Is this yet another sonarr problem?
What about ep9 having 7 languages listed in title but ep10 have only five, is that also a problem?
I already asked on discord but there's an issue with erai-raws releases and tokyotosho, erai-raws has decided to use a release name different than the torrent/file name so they can include the languages of the subtitles the file has without making the filename too long(long filenames lead to issues). The problem is if one of those torrents that have a different release name are uploaded to tokyotosho too animetosho decides to prioritise tokyotosho's torrent name over nyaa's release name, breaking automation software and making shows have inconsistent naming on their files(since not all torrents are uploaded to tokyotosho, meaning some are using nyaa's release name and others are using tokyotosho torrent's filename). Example https://animetosho.org/search?q=erai-r...fuufu ijou , you can see how episode 9 for example doesn't have the language tags because it's been uploaded to tokyotosho but episode 10 do have them
Not entirely sure, but peers can also be found by querying a tracker. Of course, DHT can work too, so the 'tr' parameter isn't mandatory. My guess is that querying a tracker can be faster, work in cases where DHT doesn't, or if DHT doesn't know of any peer nodes.
Can you clarify more about how the tr parameter in the magnet link is used? I thought peers are found via DHT lookup of the infohash to get the full torrent metadata, then connect to the trackers listed therein. What role do trackers included in the magnet link play in this process?
The ones AT already has work great for me, at the full speed of my connection. And as the FAQ says, there's a cost to adding any more bandwidth to AT's load.
Ah, that's because it technically isn't really the source site.
Nyaa.si modifies all torrents submitted, as well as torrents sourced from the original Nyaa (which shut down in early May 2017). I'm personally not really a fan of their practice of modifying (all) torrents, though it does make torrents only referring to the shut down tracker work (without relying on alternate trackers/DHT). As such, I prefer to keep the original (non altered) copy that I have. Though I'm not against the idea of serving altered torrents, though may need to think a bit how to do it. But I'd prefer doing this than mirroring Nyaa.si's altered versions.
Interesting, didn't realize that you do bootstrap trackers via DHT
That's not quite correct - your torrent client needs to resolve a Magnet link into a .torrent file - this file is what lists the trackers, not the Magnet link.
wouldn't you have a very good probability the very first peer you found also came from AnimeTosho?
Sorry I don't quite follow... We don't run a tracker here, and have only ever been a mirror.
Interesting, didn't realize that you do bootstrap trackers via DHT. Still, I presume this is done only once, so, well, as a testament to the service, wouldn't you have a very good probability the very first peer you found also came from AnimeTosho? (and add AniDex itself to that)
> I don't believe tracker lists in .torrent files are ever updated at the source sites. But they are. As one example: https://animetosho.org/view/tsundere-n...ac.n824163 magnet, .torrent: http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce
It seems a release (maybe more than one, I don't know) got missed yesterday when scraping nyaa? https://nyaa.si/view/1609275 [Anime Chap] Futoku no Guild S01E09 - Uncensored [ATX 1080p] {OP & ED Lyrics} - Episode 9 (Immoral Guild), previous episodes have been scraped and uploaded properly. Any chance it could get added, it's the only version that has typesetting, everything else is SRT or unstyled.
but does not put it into the magnet links for some reason
To prevent links from getting too long (some applications have maximum URI lengths), only the primary tracker (shown in bold in the tracker list) was added to the Magnet link. (for newer entries, the Magnet links also include a few others from the announce list)
Note that the Nyaa versions of those entries have the Nyaa tracker listed as primary, so those are specified in the Magnet:
As a mirror, I'm generally against modifications to whatever is supplied by source sites. I think many of their torrents here list alternative trackers anyway, so clients will just fallback to those.
Can I beseech you with a suggestion to host their tracker for them?
I don't think that's even possible as I have no control over their domain.
If you're using Magnet links, the trackers you get somewhat depends on luck. The Magnet link just provides a hash (BTIH) that your torrent client searches for, to obtain the actual .torrent file. Note that the 'tr' parameter of the Magnet link is only used to help bootstrap DHT for obtaining the .torrent file. Once your client has the .torrent file, it uses whatever trackers are specified there, i.e. the 'tr' parameter likely has little effect on what trackers are used for the torrent download itself.
As for the Torrent files here, they're just an unmodified mirror of whatever the source sites supply. No trackers are added/deleted here, so what's listed depends on the uploader or torrent submitter. I don't believe tracker lists in .torrent files are ever updated at the source sites.
Some torrent indexers require uploaders specify the site's tracker as the primary tracker of a torrent, so when an uploader posts a torrent to multiple indexers, they may use the same torrent with a different set of trackers to each. Thus you can get different copies of the same torrent, pointing to different trackers, depending on which site you got the torrent from. When fetched via Magnet, which you get can be considered random.
I've been tracking individual tracker's numbers; DHT's in a separate row. ...and now I remember I can actually look the numbers up.
https://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce seems to always have near-max amount of seeds, but often it has 1-5, rarely 10 seeds less than udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce and, sometimes, http://tracker.minglong.org:8080/announce, udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce. Not sure about the other two, but https://stealth.si/ webpage states: > Random IP addresses are inserted into the peer list. So, assuming total overlap, I guess https://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce for nyaa is actually a very good default and "bring on all the trackers" suggestion is not that good. Sorry if one's wasted their time with this one.
All the above are non-nyaa entries. For Kobayashi-san and Highschool of the Dead, AnimeTosho lists nyaa.tracker.wf in the trackers, but does not put it into the magnet links for some reason.
The reason one of my torrents seemed dead appears to be that the single tracker AnimeTosho provides for it is http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce, which appears to be dead.
P. S. As a piece of major tragic news, Coalgirls are shutting down their tracker: https://coalgirls.wakku.to/10443/the-end-2-mostly Can open trackers be added to their releases? Can I beseech you with a suggestion to host their tracker for them?
No, seriously, I regret not recording precise numbers, but I'm yet to see a torrent where thus adding trackers did not lead to at least a few new seeds and I've had several instances of a torrent going from single-digit to tens of seeds; one time this happened is when I simply added nyaa trackers to anidex entry.
Some magnet links AnimeTosho has have much fewer trackers than original site appears to provide, and thus fewer peers. Example torrent: https://animetosho.org/view/cbt-nichij...o.n1340363 I've gone through my torrents and the number of seeds definitely increased. Turns out some of my long-dead 0 (0) torrents aren't actually dead after all! Sometimes it is an alternative posting on another source site that provides more trackers. So, why is that? Perhaps AnimeTosho can periodically re-fetch and merge tracker lists from the source sites?
