can the site owner make it so that the grayed out entries have a link to what they are? i frequently don't know what something is and have to look it up elsewhere. not really a problem but annoying enough to ask. i'm assuming it's all automated anyway, so just run that part of the script earlier?

Is this an RSS question? They show all info on the AT page.

31/12/2020 19:59 — Anonymous

By chance, did you mean the non-grayed out entries? They don't show series info until after the torrent is finished.

31/12/2020 20:40 — Anonymous

If you mean torrents being processed and not those being skipped?

There is no field in a torrent header that declares what series it belongs to. My understanding is that AT looks for keyword matches between the torrent and anidb's database. If the torrent is not fetched, the torrent title is used. If it is fetched, the torrent title and filenames are used. So it has to wait for the filenames to become available.

Also, some torrents cannot be classified and remain "unsorted".

This has nothing to do with rss. By grayed out entries it means both those currently being processed and those that will be skipped. The stuff about how the torrent is classified if it is or is not fetched is moot as the ,torrent file is always fetched (it's in storage.animetosho.org/torrent, as you can tell by downloading any .torrent file). Obviously some torrents cannot be matched to an anidb etc entry, but the majority are. This site has all the information it will ever use (short of the owner manually intervening) the moment an entry appears for the users to see, so it would seem to be perfectly simple to implement the suggestion as stated in the OP - by runnng that part of the script earlier.

02/01/2021 16:19 — Anonymous

I believe the ones being skipped have no notable delay in displaying series info. The delay is in those being processed, and I think it probably has to do with creating entries and adding other info from anidb without the files.

But it's clear now what the question is about so you'll probably get a better answer after the holidays.

03/01/2021 11:37 — admin

The script does try to use hashes and video length to help with identifying what it is, which you can't get until it has all the data, so it's usually delayed until the torrent has finished.
For skipped entries, since it'll never get that info, it just tries to do with just the name.

Since it seems that people care, I can look at wiring it so it tries a name based pre-match whilst the torrent is still downloading.

Whats up Erai-raws? Are they not subbing anymore? Not much from them for like a week.

06/01/2021 20:32 — Anonymous

Their site is down. No info on why.

07/01/2021 02:41 — Anonymous

They announced server maintenance the other day... maybe didn't go as planned, or is just taking a while

07/01/2021 23:25 — Satanswarrior

Guess I need to go back a week and switch to SubsPlease. Sucks they gave us no Info. Maybe Erai-raws got scared of the new DMCA laws passed in the corvid bill. Not sure if any of it applies to anime. I do know it applies to IPTV streaming sites. Government officials definitely got a lot of money in payoffs to pass such an idiotic bill.

10/01/2021 19:15 — Anonymous

Erai probably ran out of money for servers lol.

They're spending like 450/month, in eurodollars. Wish I could make 300/month in profit off of these idiots.

10/01/2021 19:37 — Anonymous

They're back. Hope you enjoyed your lol.

10/01/2021 21:28 — Anonymous

This is a dumb place to laugh at people who spend money to give you something for free. Can you figure out why?

11/01/2021 00:55 — Satanswarrior

Have to agree. Makes no sense. Leave it at that.

11/01/2021 07:29 — Anonymous

it's pretty crazy to think how much money goes into this hobby in order for people to watch shit for free.

11/01/2021 08:43 — Anonymous

Thank the haters who DDOS'd the living shit out of them.

11/01/2021 11:12 — Anonymous

Nyaa is now showing as Error 503. Any issues?

11/01/2021 22:57 — admin

There were reports of others experiencing similar issues. Dunno if it's still problematic - I tried from a few endpoints but couldn't reproduce.
Nothing reported on their Twitter.

It's interesting to note that Nyaa uses DDoS-Guard, which may suffer from increasing scrutiny in the future. I don't suspect it to be the cause of the 503 errors, but could be something to watch out in the future.

12/01/2021 13:14 — Margaan

Thank you for the logistics page, admin! Fascinating stuff.

The monetary costs may not be that high, but the expenditure of expertise, time, and repeated explanations that no, you cannot upload things that no longer exist, is truly inspirational. A toast to all you do!

12/01/2021 21:31 — Anonymous

Yup, thanks admin, love the site.

12/01/2021 21:44 — hells

Agreed! If there was a way to support, I would! Love Tosho.

12/01/2021 23:45 * — admin

Glad you found it interesting!
Fortunately, with the heavy emphasis on automation here, I personally don't actually spend all that much time these days.
(Gurphy_TC probably spends more time keeping things running smoothly here)

13/01/2021 22:59 — hells

I meant monetarily of course, glad there is another kind soul keeping this going for us all. If you ever open up donations, I'd do it instantly :)

13/01/2021 12:32 — geha714

Seems like the page stopped updating. New releases from Nyaa not present here.

13/01/2021 12:55 — admin

Thanks for the notice. It seems to be up to date here - perhaps it slow for a period. Do you know what it was stalled on (i.e. the last entry available)?

13/01/2021 13:04 — geha714

Mostly the Erai-raws stuff. Thanks for the quick response!

Can you have simple JSON API with torrents list (name, links, magnet, size)?

15/01/2021 23:36 — admin

Not JSON, but if it helps, there's RSS/Atom feeds available (use the feed icon in the top-right of listing pages).
Alternatively, there's also database dumps available to get a full listing.

16/01/2021 20:45 — Anonymous: "X4"

Hm, RSS kinda what I was waned, but XML format is a bit weird to parse. If you can add JSON like this feed, would be much appreciated.

16/01/2021 21:22 — Anonymous: "X4"

Also two things I was found, there is no clear magnet link (you need to parse from description)
and there is no link to extracted subs in RSS. Are they removed for purpose?

17/01/2021 00:34 * — admin

The majority of languages should have XML parsers available - you should avoid trying to parse it yourself if that's what you are thinking.
I'm not sure the RSS spec allows for a magnet to be specified directly.
The feed is designed to list releases, so information specific to that is included. I can't really go about listing everything in there. If I may ask, what are you trying to do with an API for extracted subtitles?

I've modified the feed so that it can serialize to JSON instead of XML. You can access it by taking a feed URL, replace rss2 (or atom) with json.

17/01/2021 15:26 — Anonymous: "X4"

In the past I had bot, which get new releases from nyaa.si and post it into Discord servers, filtered by conditions they add, like a releaser name, e.g. HorribleSubs and several others, then may be filiered by name, e.g. excluding Dragon Ball, Boruto, Fairy Tail and add check to show only 1080p.

My bot get following: link to view page, name, category, size, torerent download link and magnet link and construct with formatted string like that:

#1227968 | [ReinForce] Magia Record Vol 1 (BDRip 1920x1080 x264 FLAC) | 7.8 GiB | Anime - Raw | torrent | magnet e815cc22fc052edef1a9dbc7312b2f72ef5b7612

There is no formatting on this site, so, view and name was **bold** and view is actually link formatted like [text](https://url), torrent and magnet are also links and magnet code after enclosed in inline `code` block.

However I host my bot locally, and as happened, this website was blocked by my country, so I was unable to open it without VPN, which I don't want to do, so I just shut down bot. Some days ago I saw conversation in discord where some guy arguing in SubsPlease about not posting softsubs (.ass) somewhere without raw, he don't want to download episode to then only extracting subtitle, which is where other guy appeared and suggested this site, which I was found for myself as well.

So back to bot, I was thinking if you would have in feed URL to attachment, I also can include this in my message like above, but:

#id | name | size | category | torrent | subs | magnet hash

17/01/2021 15:45 — Anonymous: "X4"

I just check json feed and it really nice, a way easier to parse.

It a bit shame, that I lost access to other stuff, like I don't mention, but this filters also affected on channels where is bot posted, so we also have records for other type of content, like music feed in music channel. I know your site is collection only anime, but it at least something, than nothing at all.

17/01/2021 23:53 * — admin

Ah, for such a bot, it sounds like Nyaa's RSS would suit you better. As you've pointed out, AT only does one category.

Subtitles are a separate process from releases and don't occur at the same time (i.e. they could appear much later). You could try to build an attachments link from the entry ID I suppose, though there's no guarantee that it exists.

18/01/2021 02:09 — Anonymous: "X4"

Well as I said I have no access to Nyaa without VPN. Which is why I don't use this site anymore.

18/01/2021 04:21 * — admin

Oops, forgot to respond to that.
Have you tried any of the many mirrors available? For example https://meowinjapanese.cf/
Or have you looked at how the block is implemented - e.g. DNS redirection? SNI sniffing? There may be easy ways to work around it.

18/01/2021 05:06 — Anonymous: "X4"

> https://meowinjapanese.cf/
Hm, didn't saw that one before, this is actually work.
But some other are not, like I tried some before, but they got blocked too later.

Some time ago I tried other tool like GoodbyeDPI, but it seems like ISP is checking logs or improving protection, so I switched from over time from least protective method (-4 flag) to most (-1), then it stop working completely. It's getting more and more wild over time, but I don't want to use VPN. Partially because I have static and white IP and I hosting some stuff on my PC on my IP, the other side is that now I have really good internet quality and speed (I have optic fiber right into my router (SFP module at end), https://www.speedtest.net/result/10536540645) and I don't want to order a VPN with less speed (downgrading), speaking that it can't work on specific apps and will work globally which I don't want. And ordering it with same quality will cost a lot.

To sum it up, I have really good ISP, but it just doing, what ordered government and there is not much I can do about it.

Oh, and one thing, I also have IPv6 address and I configure several things on my end both in router and in browser: I use DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS (Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1) and priority is IPv6 over IPv4. Now I just make a check for 3 sites: nyaa, this and meow | here: https://ipv6-test.com/validate.php
Nyaa don't have IPv6 address. Your and meow has. It might been, that even both your and meow sites blocked for me too, but I was able to connect to IPv6, those, bypass blocking. That might be the reason I can open this site and your.

18/01/2021 23:49 — admin

From your speedtest, I'm guessing you're in Russia, where I think they go to some effort with enforcing their blocking.
According to this tester page, there's no IPv6 blocking, but it appears various IPv4 addresses are blocked, including those from providers like CloudFlare (which the meow mirror uses and might get fully blocked). So it sounds like your theory is valid.

Using a mirror is likely best at the moment.

If your VPN doesn't provide some split tunneling setup, and you're willing to mess with routing, you could always have your VPN active but set the preference on your main NIC higher (i.e. VPN active but not used by default). Then, the script could just bind to your VPN NIC, so only that uses the VPN. Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with routing, you could set up a VM/container and run the VPN+script in there.

RSS not working on uTorrent since this morning (European time)
[2021-01-18 06:38:17] RSS: Unable to download: Could not establish secure connection. Error -2146893054

Please fix

19/01/2021 07:25 — Anonymous: "uT user"

Probably changed CloudFlare settings.

I hope they can revert them / change something else, to resume access for us.

19/01/2021 11:03 * — admin

Thanks for letting me know. May I ask which version of uTorrent you're using, and your OS?
I disabled TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 recently (so TLS 1.2 is the minimum required) - a number of sites have already done this. I don't mind re-enabling it, if that's the issue, though would like to know what's the baseline to support.

Update: so from a search, it seems that 2.2.1 may only support TLS 1.0, so I've re-enabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
It may be a good idea to look at adopting a newer client though, as I expect TLS 1.2 to be a new minimum across the internet.

19/01/2021 14:32 — Anonymous: "Sad panda"

uTorrent 3.3.1 (last one to handle RSS the way I like it) on Windows 7.

Thank you very much!
