Hopefully this new server will work better :)

keep it up awesome work guys!!!

That's a relief, i'm going to continue supporting!

I'm looking to move to another host.
I generally try to work through with hosts, especially since I'm paying for cheapo ones, but this one's had 4 downtime incidents in 7 days, which I really think is unacceptable. This last time, apparently, they needed to restore a backup and screwed up permissions, meaning more work for me to fix things up (and I still don't know if there's some badly set ) :| Hopefully they'll at least be willing to refund part of my annual payment.

And sorry for all the recent downtime. Once I move over to a new host, it should hopefully be better.

Oi, you gave me a heart attack. I thought AT was gone for good! :(

Sure, gald to be of any help. =D

Gah, replication desynced for some weird reason.
Fixed now, thanks for pointing out.

The file listing doesnt seem to update, is there an error in the system?

I see.
No, I'm not expecting you to understand how the script is designed since you wouldn't even have the chance to have seen the code :P Ignoring the writing of a script, the issues I'm primarily thinking about are in regards to the amount of bandwidth that may be needed and how to detect duplicates. Nyaa's not so hard for the latter since most torrents on TokyoTosho link to Nyaa anyway, whereas this isn't so nice with other sites.

Sorry for that putty tat, you were never supposed to see... err, yeah that was just your imagination - you saw nothing!
Cheers for the tip anyway.

Yeah, some lurker/leecher is bound to upload their stuff in TokyoTosho. However, sometimes no one does it, so for those cases nyaa.eu is more accurate because they themselves (the groups or one of their members) upload it to nyaa.eu.

And about scripting for another site, I thought AnimeTosho is in "single mode" that follows only TokyoTosho, so I thought becoming "multiple mode" that follows multiple torrent sites was the big challenge. And then I thought after becoming "multiple mode" it'd be easy to add more sites to it; I didn't think you had to make a different script for every single site. Forgive me for talking in codes, but theoretically that's what I thought.

I thought I taw a putty tat. Thanks, anyway.

Since I'm nice, here you go:
https://animetosho.org/view/coalgirls-...lac.457734
https://animetosho.org/view/angel-beat...aac.457824

Here you go:
https://animetosho.org/view/angel-beat...aac.457824
https://animetosho.org/view/angel-beat...lac.457826

Shouldn't most of those groups end up on TokyoTosho anyway?
I probably won't ever do a script for a single group only though.

Yo! I don't really know the technical details but here I go:

I read somewhere in the comments about the possibility of including files from nyaa.eu in the future. It would be totally useful as many fansub groups (i.e. UTW, gg, WhyNot, FFFpeeps, etc.) use it directly.

When that time comes, can you please include http://tracker.anime-index.org/ please? That's Doki's list, which contains only their files. You can probably use this as a sample site/guinea pig if you need a site for the scripting for adding nyaa.eu because this is not as active -- after all, this is a tracker for just one group.

Thanks, man. Either way, I'll forever be a lurker of AT.

Oh okay, this only 'kay?
Maybe I'll give it a try later on - need to go to bed now.

Admin! Can you post the Angel Beats! 1080p Hi10p by Doki? You can post them one by one... not in a rush. Thx

I know they do DDLs, but they NEVER upload their avis to MediaFire (even though they could), which is why I love AnimeTosho...

EDIT: Oh and yes I have asked them before about uploading their .avis to MediaFire, they said NO.

Well, thanks for enlightening me. Now i can see the big picture and the constraints that u are facing. Also thanks for the alternatives, appreciate them. Hope this site can stay around. =D

I see. Unfortunately though, it's not quite so simple. Bandwidth is generally more limited by transferred amount (e.g. quota) rather than realtime line usage, because the server is on a shared pipe as opposed to a dedicated link (this also means I can't really gauge when it's "idle"). Unmetered dedicated links are expensive unfortunately, and I don't really have the funds for it :(
That's probably the main issue. There's a few other minor things, such as disk space consumption, but I think I could work around it.
I'll probably need a new server to handle batches (and a good one at that, considering how large they generally are).

Oh, and if I do enable batches, it'll be for newer stuff only; old batches won't get fetched (unless they're resubmitted). As for your suggestion to fetch arbitrary torrents, I don't really think I can be a free torrent fetch type service (which is probably bound to fail anyway - once people start finding it and submitting heaps of stuff for fetching, the queue will grow huge and you'll be back to week long waits). You'll probably get more luck begging someone on a forum or seeing if anyone will set up a free torrent fetch service for you. Perhaps even share a seedbox amongst a few people. Have never really searched for seedboxes, but you can probably find a decent VPS for around $5/mo; although most won't allow torrents, you might get lucky.

There are possible ways you can try looking into to get around ISP blocks, such as enabling encryption etc - do a search on that if you haven't already.

AnimeSenshi.com looks like they do DDLs - have you tried searching their site?
You'll probably get more luck asking them just to put up DDL links for you.
Otherwise request in their forums and see if someone is willing to help you.

That is the only free torrent to HTTP download service i know, but the wait time for me range from hours to days, worst is weeks. The queuing time is very long. I suppose is due to the larger number of files to be processed. Premium is something i can't afford unfortunately.

Torrific.com is pretty good. I usually use it.

You can leech tor 10GB/24h + 3min wait time for free account, $10/month for unlimited transferral.

Oh so it has to be on TokyoTosho, that sucks...maybe I should get AnimeSenshi to upload their .avi re-encodes to TokyoTosho as well then.

(doubt they'll listen to a newb like me)

Actually by torrents, I'm referring more to batch torrents that are relatively huge in file size (5-20GB) if they could be processed when the server is idling during off-peak hours so as to maximize the usage of the server. In view of this, i was wondering if you could setup a submit system where people can submit batch torrents(Anime/Recent) so the server can process it during off-peak hours when it is idling and would not cause any issues for normal operation of the site. I hope i am more specific and clearer in my explanation.

Basically i couldn't find many torrent fetcher services, even if i did, most of them are quite expensive by my standard and i definitely can't afford a seedbox. Also, the fundamental reason I prefer DDL to torrent is that my ISP has a set in place restrictions on torrenting so i am resorted to DDL for more efficient downloading of files. I'm just a poor lecher. >_<
