I'm using Sonarr and the RSS feed together, just had a weird error.

https://pastebin.com/raw/X38KyZHh (expiring pastebin warning)

My hot take is that the problem was caused by the rss linking http links to torrents and those redirect to https, I almost posted a comment about torrent downloads using https but skipped it when i saw it redirect to https. Maybe if the rss linked them to https from the start?

I don't know if this is Sonarr or the site being weird but posting just in case.

Is this a new error?
Unfortunately, the RSS2 specifications don't allow HTTPS referenced enclosures (or rather, requires a HTTP reference, but mentions nothing about whether the resource has to exist at the exact location specified by the URL).
Perhaps give the Atom feed a try?

If your theory is correct, then it may be the case that Sonarr isn't following redirects, which may be something they should support?

Maybe I never saw the bug since my other feeds grabbed the stuff I wanted..

That particular specification feels a bit outdated.. Back when only bank websites had https.
Also isn't it just redundant when there is no way to download the file via http anyway?

Anyway, Sonarrs problem isn't the https thing, its probably the 301 thing. Will send this along to Sonarr.

Speaking of Sonarr, did you ever consider a search API? Now that nyaa is down we need one more than ever.

RSS2 is indeed old. Atom is the newer replacement, and is what should be supported.

Speaking of Sonarr, did you ever consider a search API?
I'm looking to make improvements to feeds, and may get around to a search API. Depends mostly on effort and time.

Search isn't smart enough to correct spelling errors (missing 'n' in first link). The other characters don't matter.
14/05/2017 03:21 — Anonymous
So far Horrible's number of downloads on the new "nyaa".si is about 1/10th of what it was on the old nyaa.

(heh heh heh, pardon my glee but their numbers used to annoy some people.)

If it gets back to 50%, new nyaa is a success and worth re-integrating.

(Heybot 720p: 87 downloads... heh heh heh on Heybot.)
16/05/2017 00:24 — Anonymous
oldnyaa artificially inflated their download numbers. Even if a file wss never seeded, oldnyaa would report 100+ downloaded.
16/05/2017 00:41 — Anonymous
The 'download' stat on Nyaa was the downloads of the .torrent file not of the actual torrent, so whether it has seeds or not was irrelevant.
16/05/2017 00:54 — Anonymous
Most people used Nyaa rss feed to auto download new anime releases and most of them were hit and run leechers.

Don't forget they also heavily advertised the use of magnet links in-between Nyaa going offline and Nyaa.si being used, and they still link magnets on their sites. So there is a good chance that a lot of their downloads aren't being counted on Nyaa.si because of it. That and like one of the other 'Anonymous' mentioned, Old-Nyaa didn't count actual downloads, it counted each time the 'download' torrent link was clicked. So it could easily been inflated and by no means was an indicator of actual downloads made via the torrent itself.

Thanks for keeping this site running after years.
This site centralizes all anime torrent as anime torrent sites scatter now.

Only thing I miss here is nyaa like rss :)

I never knew that "Gimme more catgirls" link was to the forums. Just clicked on it today after a few years of using this website. Always thought it was odd I didn't find a forum here. Only to find its disguised lol.

Always wanted to express gratitude and  say "Thank You" for keeping this amazing anime website running and in the pure format that its in. No bullsh*t. Just the right amount of anime to cause your eyes to bleed from never ending days of no sleep from bingeing.  

Also really appreciate the multiple file host site links....great for multi-file host members.

Things I would like to see would be:

- Show on the download page (not the file list) whether the CRC matches.
- Create a trusted flag where you compare the torrent uploader with the group in the filename. Maybe also a trusted+ page for well established groups.
- Create a second rss feed for stuff after it is done uploading to all hosts and shows download links to multiple files.
15/05/2017 15:58 — Anonymous
CRC matches from where? Most release don't contain any CRC hash in the filename. And unlike scene, fansubs don't include .sfv/.nfo file in the torrent.
15/05/2017 18:43 — Anonymous
You seem to be very concerned about getting 'authentic' (from named source) files.  But I haven't seen any fake Horribles or fake GJM or fake Commie or fake FFF or fake anything else, so I don't understand your concern.
15/05/2017 20:18 — Anonymous: "Mirai"
Well just today someone uploaded a 480p Horriblesubs Batch and who knows what he might have changed.
15/05/2017 20:34 — Anonymous
It says WolfPack batch.
15/05/2017 20:50 — Anonymous
Changed for what reason?  Do you think anyone would edit and re-post with Horrible's name trying to improve something without taking credit for their efforts?

Or are you worried about malicious changes trying to harm Horrible's brand?

I've never heard of either happening.  Those who do a "CR-Mod" (Cruncyroll-modified, editing to improve Horrible) always take credit for their efforts and give it their own brand name.

CRC, btw, is easy to fake and no protection against fraud.  It's only a check on garbled transmission, and the torrent hash already provides a check on that.  You'd need a more substantial file hash check to detect fraud.
15/05/2017 21:25 — Anonymous
Here are the names of some popular CR-Mods: FFF, Commie, Doki, Chihiro, DameDesuYo, Everybody, etc.

Re-timing and editing takes time and effort.  People who do it like to get some appreciation for their work.
16/05/2017 02:46 — Anonymous
The fact that almost all of fansubs nowadays is just ripping official script is killed me.
And hell, mostly don't even bother to edit the base script.
16/05/2017 02:55 — Anonymous
Actually, I appreciate many of these efforts.  There would be no sense in ignoring a base script and translating from scratch.  DDY's Flying Witch and Maid Dragon I think of as examples of making something better.

And we get an OP and ED translation, which I also appreciate.

Little recap for your previous request:
https://animetosho.org/feedback?page=2...omment8869
16/05/2017 10:07 — admin
Thanks for the suggestions.

Show on the download page (not the file list) whether the CRC matches.
Do you mean the computed CRC matches what is specified in the filename? If so, I'm not entirely sure what the point of that is?
The only thing it'd indicate was that the uploader made a mistake?

Create a trusted flag where you compare the torrent uploader with the group in the filename. Maybe also a trusted+ page for well established groups.
I don't intend to manage any sort of "trust" labels, but if upstream sites incorporate it, I'll follow what they do.
I'm not too sure how useful that strategy is anyway, as I'm not sure that all groups necessarily name their account to be the same as their label.

Create a second rss feed for stuff after it is done uploading to all hosts and shows download links to multiple files.
This is a little tricky to implement, but I'll consider it.
16/05/2017 21:19 — Anonymous: "Mirai"
Thanks for your reply^^.

About the CRC matches: When the CRC does not match for me I first check if the CRC I get matches with the CRC your website shows and afterwards I check with the uploader which is a bit of a hassle^^. And yeah it probably is low priority due to the fact that it happens extremely rarely.

Trust labels would be a hassle at the start but you would have to make a database that has approved uploaders for different releasegroups (i.e. "hs" on TokyoTosho for the [HorribleSubs] tag).
16/05/2017 23:37 — admin
...which then has to be maintained for every new group/user that appears, which is, unfortunately, something I don't particularly look forward to doing. There's also difficulties with identifying groups from a name, since not all use a common format.

Have you really seen many (or even any) cases of 'malicious' editing, that haven't been 'caught' by other means, for example, comments?

Is there any way to distinguish quality/reliable torrents? As in something similar to nyaa's 'trusted' feature.

Aside from all the obvious Horriblesub stuff, even if not everyone agrees, I can at least reliably watch but when it comes to stuff outside of airing seasonal, I've had to take several gambles with random torrents for things like OVAs, specials and other shows not being simulcasted.
16/05/2017 03:11 — Anonymous
The things like "Trusted/A+" release is just useless, I still don't get why Nyaa applied that shit in the first place and it was incredibly biased.
There's a ton of shitty releases with "trusted" status there.

My suggestion is, if you see a group that you familiar of, just assume it was good release for you.

16/05/2017 03:57 — Anonymous
It's not useless when you got several people uploading the same show while some are clearly better in translation quality and have more effort put into it than others.

As stated, outside of mostly airing seasonal shows, it becomes a gamble in terms of quality, which wouldn't be an issue if the feature was implemented. Outside of horriblesubs, since all they have are rips of simulcasted shows, there aren't groups I'm familiar with handling every other series and most of the time, the ones I find are just one time groups/person just translating for that 1 thing.

Even if you're anti-nyaa or call it biased, it was more reliable than using a random users first attempt at poorly solo translating something. If someone wants to watch low quality translations, then let them, but let those who want to watch decent ones at least do so without having to dig through several unknown translators.
16/05/2017 04:07 — Anonymous
The only solution is to use only groups whose names you know.  And there's no feature that's going to provide that.
16/05/2017 04:14 * — Koby
Kametsu Forum | Kametsu Projects | Lost Years | #Kametsu@irc.xertion.org
Nyaa's Trusted-status was pretty much useless though because they didn't use it the way you're suggesting to signify standards or trust. It was used simply as another form of bias to give to certain people and deny to others regardless of merit.

For example, some of the green-label trusted groups just stole from the non-trusted white-label groups and claimed the subtitles as their own. *points at Hatsuyuki stealing from various groups* I actually brought this up about a couple releases I knew they had stolen, and people in the channel started making a huge list, apparently it had been an ongoing issue with the group for years and nothing was ever done about it.

While other groups were denied green-status for BS reasoning that didn't apply to the groups that had it. Like for instance, I was told having a single 8-bit torrent uploaded would disqualify you, yet plenty of green-label groups uploaded 8-bit encodes like HorribleSubs and Cornbreadman for instance.

Anyways point being is that, green-label didn't actually signify anything in regards to being trust-worthy or quality of the release, and often the better releases were white-labeled or even orange/red-labeled due to the way Nyaa's rules were setup.

There aren't enough options to make a rating system useful anymore.  There's usually only Horrible, or Horrible plus one fansub-mod.

"Anti-nyaa" wtf. Nyaa's still my primary source for old anime.
But there are 2 things I hate on old Nyaa:
First, those categorization.
Second, how toxic their moderators are.
I'm afraid if the new Nyaa is slowly becoming the old one.

Are watermarks something to complain about?  As I recall, the last version of Nyaa rules allowed watermarks except in re-makes.

Horrible's Anime Network, AT-X, all Japanese channels, there's going to be some full or part-time channel watermarks.

A subbing group adding their own group watermark, that's generally not been tolerated.  Not many have tried, so far.
