*brain fart* Why did I never think of using a strike-through? Thanks for that - done!

Files aren't uploaded to accounts, so no points get accumulated. There's a few reasons for this:
- most hosts limit the amount of storage space for accounts; whereas if you don't have an account, there's no limit
- reduce server bandwidth usage by using multi file uploaders (e.g. EmbedUpload); though I'm aware that some support uploading to an account
- reduce the likeliness of mass file deletion by the host - if it's all uploaded to the same account, deleting all files uploaded by the user becomes trivial
- payout from those host loyalty programs probably isn't worth the effort

As for costs, there really isn't too much. There's two main components to this website: an updater script (which pulls torrents and uploads them etc) and the front-end website script.
The update script is unlikely going to need more resources any time soon (I guess in the future, people may submit more stuff, but that'll probably take time), and even if it does, I can simply be a little more restrictive in what gets fetched (e.g. not fetch any torrent over 8GB).
The front-end website, if it gets much more popular, could need more resources, but it's fairly well optimised, and there's plenty of room for growth and further optimisation, so I'm doubting that'll be any time soon. By the way, I'm also being cheapskate in a number of places, for example, screenshots are hosted on free image hosts and don't consume any of my bandwidth XD

So thanks for wishing that this site stay around - I'm hoping so too, after all, I spent many months coding this and I'd hate to see it wasted. The servers + domain etc are quite cheap, and as long as I'm willing to fork out for them every month, things should be fine. If it comes down to it, I may have to resort to putting up ads to cover costs (which, considering how optimised the site is, should have no problems doing so) but I don't see that happening any time soon (plus I hate ads myself).
As for other aspects, I'd say the biggest risks may be:
- TokyoTosho goes away
- File hosts either disappear or make automated uploading very difficult (i.e. require a CAPTCHA to be filled in every time you upload something)
- Some other major change in sites that this script depends on

In the end, costs probably aren't too much of a threat to the lifetime of this website.

Instead of just red if an upload fails, how about red and a strike through, there will always be people who get confused but maybe it will lower the percentage over the years.

On a side note out of pure curiosity, do you break even through all the download points you accumulate from the file hosting services?  I am just hoping this site helps pay for itself down the road as I wish for its longevity.

Thank you sir, this is the most valuable anime source on the web.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Actually, this is going to be a tough one to get the auto-categorisation algorithm to differentiate between :/ I'll see if I can do a rough hack for now.

Sir, new releases of Hunter X Hunter should be (2011), not (1999)...

yea, I've noticed by the time that new color's contrast is better for me at least, so thanks for trying your best :P

New season needs a new look! :D

Thanks for EmbedUpload, it's nice to have a lot of mirrors.

P.S: your new color looks cool now!, dunno why it's changed, but it's better :D

:-|

I still prefer the orange look :)

I like the new color ^_^

awesome new look!! :)

Thank you for writing the above comment. I am also a leecher and I welcome you fellow comrade.

Thank you.
Don't worry, once you have given me your soul, it is I who decides its worth!
What do business people do well at? Extracting as much worth as possible from worthless objects.

I'm actually using bits of electronic signals which are sent across teh interwebs to upload to various hosts.

Thank you for starting this web site. I am just a leecher and i can only offer you my gratitude.

Nice site.
Did join today, and i wish anime tosho a succesful future.
i got no money and no children but you can have my (worthless) soul.

are you using php to upload to those other hosts or anyother language ?

Nothing was changed?
Anyway, just make sure you're clicking on the file link (notice "/file/" in the URL). I've been considering whether to put screenshots on the torrent contents page ("/view/" in URL) if there's only one file, but haven't got around to it yet.

Glad you've got it nonetheless!

Thanks!
Actually, I like TokyoTosho's lightweighted-ness, which I've somewhat tried to mimic here :)

thanks a lot :)
they show up for me now :)

They show up for me. :/

Awesome !
=)

Much more useful than popular sites like AnimeTake or AnimeFansFTW. We also get none of those resource-hungry scripts and Flash advertisements they have. I'm in-love with this site. Way to go!

could you tell me where the screenshots are for this one: https://animetosho.org/view/kyuubi-_fa...mp4.452877 ??
btw thanks for all your help :)

Screenshots still seem to be coming through. Some times it may fail because:
1) the image hosts are rejecting images when the script tries to upload them (this has happened a fair bit; usually due to either the connection constantly breaking or the image host is just stuffed up)
2) file couldn't be read or not recognised for some reason (should be rare)

I've randomly picked a few recent files and screenshots seem to be available. If there's a particular file you want me to look into, I can do so (though if screenshots aren't appearing, I probably won't be able to put them back up).
Thanks for the compliment :)

aren't you guys posting any screenshots these days ??
btw awesome work keeping this site updated :)

Thanks, it's back again :)

Should be fixed now. Sorry, I actually also forgot to restart the replication earlier.
