I've been wondering for quite some time now, maybe you are willing to answer them:
1) How many servers are you using?
2) How big are their pipes?
3) How much traffic does this site produce? (I would love to see some statistics <3)
4) Would it be easy to add additional servers?

I've got a big pipe.

AT currently runs on the following 4 'servers':
- updates/torrents processing
- webserver (animetosho.org)
- storage server (storage.animetosho.org) which hosts attachments, screenshots etc. also hosts mirror.animetosho.org
- 1fichier proxy (ddl.animetosho.org) for Direct links

The servers typically have 100Mbps or 1Gbps NICs, but I don't use dedicated bandwidth (i.e. it's shared), so actual maximum throughput can vary depending on usage by others, and the host may throttle the connection, and some have monthly quotas.
I assume that's what you mean by 'pipes'.

Webserver sends out roughly 1TB per month. Storage server somewhere around 1-2TB per month (can vary depending on what sites decide to hotlink screenshots). DDL server varies a lot.

Your last question is hard to answer as it depends on what the purpose the new server would be for. Ordering a new server is usually not difficult, whereas integrating it would depend on what one plans to do with it.

There's also a slight issue of what a server exactly is. Basically, you can have physical servers (aka dedicated servers) which can host multiple virtual servers (technically virtual servers can further host virtual servers too), which means you could create your own notion of what a server is, regardless of underlying hardware or service. animetosho.org and ddl.animetosho.org run on virtual servers, which I consider to be 'servers'.

Thank you!
Yes, that's exactly what I meant by pipes :)

As for adding servers (specifically for torrent-processing):
By server I meant ether a dedicated one, or a VPS.
For example, if someone went ahead and donated a few dollars:
Would it be possible to rent another server and integrate it into the processing-pipeline, without rewriting large chunks of code?
(once again: for torrent-processing specifically)
02/08/2018 08:01 *admin
Are you thinking about the possibility of increasing the number of torrents that can be processed?
The script wasn't really designed with multiple servers in mind. I suppose a key issue would be how the database would work - you'd probably need some clustered setup. If you could solve that, and a few other small things, such as file syncing (e.g. attachments) from multiple sources, most things should probably work, as long as there isn't some corner case race condition or similar.
Ultimately, it'd probably be easier and make a lot more sense just to get a larger server than deal with the hassle of thinking how to distribute processing and manage merging.

Alternatively, you could just run completely separate setups, if you don't ever need to merge the databases. I'm not sure what your motivation for the question is, but if, say, you wanted other Nyaa categories to be fetched, it could be a viable option, where the other categories would be on their own website.

Of course, I don't accept donations, so this hypothetical scenario won't play out.

I figured it was Brown and Orange. Maybe a Browns fan? Coincidence?

hello, i couldn't find the files for Mo Dao Zu Shi (GuodongSubs) this morning, there were here yesterday...
03/08/2018 19:04 — Anonymous
If you search for guodong they show up, but not if you search for the actual title. Weird.
04/08/2018 11:14 — admin
Looks like it's fixed itself now. Not sure why it happened, possibly some indexer bug or similar :/

Is the search engine capable of searching inside the mediainfo (Additional Info)? If so how can i do that?
04/08/2018 11:16 — admin
The search here doesn't search mediainfo, but maybe an external search (like Google) can.
I thought that most of the stuff in mediainfo is the same for most files, and probably not particularly useful for searching purposes. What are you looking for?

Here is a situation. If a release have a font missing, it ruins the typesetting. As a solution, I would search the mediainfo for the missing font, download the "All Attachments" from a release which uses the missing font, and install it. This allows the release with the missing font to have typesetting displayed properly.

Totally agree, missing fonts often ruin the TS.
As admin suggested, using the "site:" tag with google works fine when searching for fonts on AT.
11/08/2018 07:11 — admin
That's something I never would've thought about, thanks for explaining that.
I'll think about how something like that would work. Perhaps some new 'file search' or similar.

For now though, you could use BetaMAX's trick above. Alternatively, you can download the "Attachments table" export, search for your font there and grab the corresponding file_id. With the file_id, visit https://animetosho.org/file/file_id to get the corresponding file.

Thanks for providing this fantastic service publicly. Highly appreciated.
Any chance you could add an API parameter similar to ?only_tor=1 but to display only NZB links, e.g. for usage in SABnzbds internal RSS reader.
Currently the feed is not usable in this scenario, as Sab always tries to grab the first link (which is the torrent).

Regards and keep on rocking,
Tom

I have my Sonarr feed setup like so and have had no issues with it.

There's actually a hidden parameter - replace "only_tor" with "only_nzb" and you'll only get NZBs. Hopefully that works for you.
09/08/2018 15:58 — Anonymous: "Tom"
Works nicely. Thank you very much :)

Thanks for the suggestion, Golumpa.
But Sonarr would be overkill for my small scale setup :)

Please note that '@spring anime 2018 hd' is faking legit sub groups tags to get around fetching bans and blocks. Recently faked a [Ract] Sirus the Jaeger post to get past a nyaa ban. Please work to avoid blocking legit subs based on his games. Thanks.
13/08/2018 00:13 — admin
Thanks for the info. AT generally just follows whatever upstream sites do, so any bans in place would be at Nyaa and not here.
