Some magnet links AnimeTosho has have much fewer trackers than original site appears to provide, and thus fewer peers.
Example torrent:
https://animetosho.org/view/cbt-nichij...o.n1340363
I've gone through my torrents and the number of seeds definitely increased. Turns out some of my long-dead 0 (0) torrents aren't actually dead after all! Sometimes it is an alternative posting on another source site that provides more trackers.
So, why is that? Perhaps AnimeTosho can periodically re-fetch and merge tracker lists from the source sites?

Lol, there is a private torrent for whom nyaa.si also tries to add all there trackers: https://nyaa.si/view/1188409

No, seriously, I regret not recording precise numbers, but I'm yet to see a torrent where thus adding trackers did not lead to at least a few new seeds and I've had several instances of a torrent going from single-digit to tens of seeds; one time this happened is when I simply added nyaa trackers to anidex entry.

Don't forget DHT is a thing.

Sorry, thought you couldn't bootstrap trackers via DHT.

If you're using Magnet links, the trackers you get somewhat depends on luck.
The Magnet link just provides a hash (BTIH) that your torrent client searches for, to obtain the actual .torrent file. Note that the 'tr' parameter of the Magnet link is only used to help bootstrap DHT for obtaining the .torrent file. Once your client has the .torrent file, it uses whatever trackers are specified there, i.e. the 'tr' parameter likely has little effect on what trackers are used for the torrent download itself.

As for the Torrent files here, they're just an unmodified mirror of whatever the source sites supply. No trackers are added/deleted here, so what's listed depends on the uploader or torrent submitter. I don't believe tracker lists in .torrent files are ever updated at the source sites.

Some torrent indexers require uploaders specify the site's tracker as the primary tracker of a torrent, so when an uploader posts a torrent to multiple indexers, they may use the same torrent with a different set of trackers to each. Thus you can get different copies of the same torrent, pointing to different trackers, depending on which site you got the torrent from. When fetched via Magnet, which you get can be considered random.

Interesting, didn't realize that you do bootstrap trackers via DHT. Still, I presume this is done only once, so, well, as a testament to the service, wouldn't you have a very good probability the very first peer you found also came from AnimeTosho? (and add AniDex itself to that)

> I don't believe tracker lists in .torrent files are ever updated at the source sites.
But they are. As one example:
https://animetosho.org/view/tsundere-n...ac.n824163
magnet, .torrent: http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce

https://nyaa.si/view/824163
magnet:
    http://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce
    udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce
    udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce
    udp://exodus.desync.com:6969/announce
    udp://tracker.torrent.eu.org:451/announce
.torrent:
    http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce
    http://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce
    udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce
    udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce
    udp://exodus.desync.com:6969/announce
    udp://tracker.torrent.eu.org:451/announce

It seems nyaa had been adding about five random trackers of a limited list to at least a lot of old torrents.

Ah, that's because it technically isn't really the source site.

Nyaa.si modifies all torrents submitted, as well as torrents sourced from the original Nyaa (which shut down in early May 2017).
I'm personally not really a fan of their practice of modifying (all) torrents, though it does make torrents only referring to the shut down tracker work (without relying on alternate trackers/DHT).
As such, I prefer to keep the original (non altered) copy that I have. Though I'm not against the idea of serving altered torrents, though may need to think a bit how to do it. But I'd prefer doing this than mirroring Nyaa.si's altered versions.

Interesting, didn't realize that you do bootstrap trackers via DHT
That's not quite correct - your torrent client needs to resolve a Magnet link into a .torrent file - this file is what lists the trackers, not the Magnet link.

wouldn't you have a very good probability the very first peer you found also came from AnimeTosho?
Sorry I don't quite follow... We don't run a tracker here, and have only ever been a mirror.

Thanks for the follow up!

Can you clarify more about how the tr parameter in the magnet link is used? I thought peers are found via DHT lookup of the infohash to get the full torrent metadata, then connect to the trackers listed therein. What role do trackers included in the magnet link play in this process?
10/12/2022 01:24 — admin
Not entirely sure, but peers can also be found by querying a tracker. Of course, DHT can work too, so the 'tr' parameter isn't mandatory.
My guess is that querying a tracker can be faster, work in cases where DHT doesn't, or if DHT doesn't know of any peer nodes.
04/12/2022 00:54 — Anonymous
I've been tracking individual tracker's numbers; DHT's in a separate row. ...and now I remember I can actually look the numbers up.

https://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce seems to always have near-max amount of seeds, but often it has 1-5, rarely 10 seeds less than udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce and, sometimes, http://tracker.minglong.org:8080/announce, udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce. Not sure about the other two, but https://stealth.si/ webpage states:
> Random IP addresses are inserted into the peer list.
So, assuming total overlap, I guess https://nyaa.tracker.wf:7777/announce for nyaa is actually a very good default and "bring on all the trackers" suggestion is not that good. Sorry if one's wasted their time with this one.

Anidex vs. nyaa! Anidex is less popular than nyaa, 154 vs 206, 5 vs 20 seeds on https://animetosho.org/view/judas-spy-...c.d478243, https://animetosho.org/view/anime-time....n1589659. However, AnimeTosho appears to provide both trackers in the magnet links for modern torrents but, highly confusingly, not for older torrents:

[RH] Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon [Dual Audio] [BDRip] [Hi10] [1080p]
https://animetosho.org/view/rh-kobayas...al.d144051
https://anidex.info/torrent/144051 : 5 seeders
https://nyaa.si/view/1034225 : 24 seeders

[RH] Mahou Tsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus' Bride) [Dual Audio - Batch]
https://animetosho.org/view/rh-mahou-t...de.d138387
https://anidex.info/torrent/138387 : 1 seeder
https://nyaa.si/view/1027732 : 3 seeders

Highschool.of.the.Dead.S01.v2.1080p-Hi10p.BluRay.FLAC5.1.x264-CTR (English Dubbed Dual Audio) (Gakuen Mokushiroku - High School of the Dead)
https://animetosho.org/view/highschool...c5.1168624
https://anidex.info/?page=torrent&id=105071 : 2 seeders
https://nyaa.si/view/989488 : 7 seeders

All the above are non-nyaa entries. For Kobayashi-san and Highschool of the Dead, AnimeTosho lists nyaa.tracker.wf in the trackers, but does not put it into the magnet links for some reason.

The reason one of my torrents seemed dead appears to be that the single tracker AnimeTosho provides for it is http://open.nyaatorrents.info:6544/announce, which appears to be dead.

P. S. As a piece of major tragic news, Coalgirls are shutting down their tracker: https://coalgirls.wakku.to/10443/the-end-2-mostly
Can open trackers be added to their releases? Can I beseech you with a suggestion to host their tracker for them?

but does not put it into the magnet links for some reason
To prevent links from getting too long (some applications have maximum URI lengths), only the primary tracker (shown in bold in the tracker list) was added to the Magnet link. (for newer entries, the Magnet links also include a few others from the announce list)

Note that the Nyaa versions of those entries have the Nyaa tracker listed as primary, so those are specified in the Magnet:

https://animetosho.org/view/rh-kobayas...l.n1034225
https://animetosho.org/view/rh-mahou-t...e.n1027732
https://animetosho.org/view/highschool...c5.n989488

Can open trackers be added to their releases?
As a mirror, I'm generally against modifications to whatever is supplied by source sites.
I think many of their torrents here list alternative trackers anyway, so clients will just fallback to those.

Can I beseech you with a suggestion to host their tracker for them?
I don't think that's even possible as I have no control over their domain.

It seems a release (maybe more than one, I don't know) got missed yesterday when scraping nyaa? https://nyaa.si/view/1609275
[Anime Chap] Futoku no Guild S01E09 - Uncensored [ATX 1080p] {OP & ED Lyrics} - Episode 9 (Immoral Guild), previous episodes have been scraped and uploaded properly. Any chance it could get added, it's the only version that has typesetting, everything else is SRT or unstyled.

@admin.
Hi. Can you please add trainbit.com as one of your hosts? It's  been around for years and reliable. Max file is 1gb. Please look into it.
08/12/2022 19:02 — Anonymous
There's a several line answer to this in the FAQ under "Improvements/suggestions".
08/12/2022 20:02 — Anonymous

Are accounts required for uploading? Anonymous uploading is preferred here.

Yes unfortunately.


If an account is required, how much space is given?

5TB per free account.


Are there any other upload limits?

1GB per file... just that.


How long do files last?

I've had files stored for nearly 3 month without ever being downloaded...


Does the host modify uploaded files in any way?

Not at all.


What quirks does the host have?

Super quick ready to download link, max speed for free... no ad.


Is the host friendly to downloaders?

Yup. I've been using it personally for months...
08/12/2022 20:09 — Anonymous
The primary requirement for consideration was overwhelming popular support.  So see if you can get a few hundred of your friends to ask for it.

09/12/2022 15:44 — Anonymous
The ones AT already has work great for me, at the full speed of my connection.  And as the FAQ says, there's a cost to adding any more bandwidth to AT's load.  

Learn to use what they have.
08/12/2022 20:25 — Anonymous
The FAQ says "200GB of files are uploaded per day" so 1TB every 5 days, so the account would be full in 25 days.  Wouldn't work for AT.

10/12/2022 01:25 — admin
Thanks for the detailed response, but as mentioned above, the 5TB limit is probably unworkable, unfortunately.
