Heya animetosho folk. I stumbled today on a network of filehosting sites that seem to be vaguely familiar for anyone who's been around the block. You can start here for instance https://openload.cc/ then check out their 'friends' which are all basically the same site, same api but with a coat of paint boiling down to ripping off a now closed titan filehosting site of yore.

Anyone has an idea about wtf is going on? From my tests they work reasonably well but not amazing.
Are these honeypots by any chance or just a lazy copy paste cash grabs?

I think that was the "honeypots" reference.  But I don't see any good reason for users to take an interest in notorious names from the past, it would invite trouble.

smells like clickbait. Openload has been taken down for almost a decade, I believe.

The great Openload was seized in 2021.

yeah, very clickbaity. Did some more digging, seems they're all hosted on the same ip 45.154.253.150, an offshore proxy, https://proxy.is/. Just do a reverse lookup here: https://dnslytics.com/reverse-ip.

You'll see there are 18 such services lmao, including anonfiles. Most of them have dns with njalla, a company created by a TPB founder.

I guess this is legit, more like an homage to all those services, setup in a hydra manner. Almost brings a tear to my eye. Remember the hydra bay? Pepperidge farm remembers. :`(

Usually when a site goes down, a bunch of enterprising folks try to leverage its popularity for their own gain. So your "lazy copy paste cash grabs" is most likely.
The honeypot theory doesn't make much sense.

Made this comment under most recent episode comments, figured it should actually be here, sorry for the mixup:

If anyone handling AnimeTosho is looking for fresh sites to add to the fetching/posting script(s), I'd suggest checking https://down.mdiaload.com/.  Just as quick as Zippyshare for me, no filesize cap meaning less uploads, and files seem to stay available (not sure if it may be different regarding anime).  Zippyshare has been great and dependable, they'll be missed for sure... many other sites are gone far quicker.
20/03/2023 23:01 — Anonymous
There are a lot of requirements for something to be usable here, see the FAQ.  

One of the hardest is the load: AT uploads about 1TB every 5 days.  That kills off most.
26/03/2023 09:31 — admin
I've added this an GoFile (does duplicate MultiUp) to see how it goes.
I'll remove Zippyshare in a few days.

Glad to help, I've seen it in use elsewhere (when I wished that content used Zippyshare), figured the least I could do is suggest it.  I know AT uses a lot of space/bandwidth, glad to know it's a good fit.  :)

This Mdia Load seems good. I will work with it more to know if it's as good as my other file hosting site which recently have had some problems. Download and upload speeds seem good.
Thanks for the share.

If it's an adblock problem, there are lots of advertiser sites with popup ads that are anti-adblocker.
20/03/2023 20:33 — Anonymous
Please no. I'd rather zippyshare exit on a high note than turn into one of those other ad infested hosts. Probably a better option might have been some combination of donation, bandwidth limit, etc. But then you lose what made zippyshare special. It always felt a bit too good to be true.

It's not a vocal group so I doubt a joke.  They didn't explain when they shut down service to England and Germany and their last previous blog was 2018.  Mostly, I don't see how anyone can not lose money doing ddl these days.  Professional media said it's a miracle they last this long.
22/03/2023 11:51 — Anonymous
Fingers crossed that you're right but I wouldn't bet on it. Zippy is one of the few old ones still standing.

My guess is the business model just isn't working anymore. Everyone and their mother is using adblockers, authorities cut donation options, a lot of people prefer streaming and the list goes on.

22/03/2023 12:50 — admin
That's quite unfortunate.
If there's any suitable alternative hosts, I can look at adding them.
22/03/2023 18:22 — Anonymous
I only looked at this one briefly but it seems as though https://1fichier.com/ might be a possible alternative.

You may not want to use it because multiup has it as one of their options, although the benefit of using it directly is they have a very high file size limit, "File size is limited to 300GB. Storage capacity is not limited." I'm not entirely sure if that 300GB file limit applies for guest uploaders though. Also, "Files can be removed after 15 days without downloads for guests," but that seems similar to what ZippyShare offered.

It's very possible there are a lot of redflags/dealbreakers, but I'm not super sure what specific criteria AnimeTosho requires, and I'm not at all versed in web/systems admin.

They have an API in beta. Although, I don't know if unregistered users have access.

My problem with 1fichier has been it has only allowed 1 download per hour (or less) for free/anons.  If that has changed, great.  As it has been, it's been useless here.
22/03/2023 20:03 — Anonymous
I just checked: after one download, it started a 20hr timer saying the download limit has been reached.  The one file, btw, was only 300mb and the speed was about 500k/sec, much slower than it used to be.
23/03/2023 17:02 — Anonymous
I just checked also, and the timer is actually 20 minutes and not 20 hours, but yeah, it still is a bit of an issue for AT.

Also, for my location in GMT-5 timezone, I got full download speeds, but I pay for 50Mbps to save a bit of money.
24/03/2023 19:37 — Anonymous
For me, it's 20 hours.  I let the last one run for several hours to be sure.  I expect it differs based on load, region and maybe how much they hate my type of ad-blocker.

20 min wouldn't be tempting for me either though.  I hope it never will be.
24/03/2023 05:10 — admin
Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm a bit hesitant, due to it being handled by MultiUp, but I'll keep that in mind (I prefer to split files at a certain point to reduce the bandwidth cost if an upload fails or gets rejected).

24/03/2023 22:18 — Anonymous: "concerned_citizen"
Same anon, but maybe you can use the spook hosters I mentioned above, there's a lot of them:

https://bayfiles.com/
https://openload.cc/
https://lolabits.se/
https://vshare.is/
https://rapidshare.nu/
https://hotfile.io/
https://share-online.is/
https://myfile.is/
https://megaupload.nz/
https://letsupload.cc/
https://upvid.cc/
https://filechan.org/
https://forumfiles.com/
https://file.bz/
https://upload.st/
https://uplovd.com/

Simple api, basically same upload script as anonfiles.Maybe some round robin/randomizer to pick a different host on each file upload. My only concern is them being a frontend for the same backend which animetosho would quickly give the hug of death.

Besides those there's pixeldrain and gofile.io which both have decent speeds and API. But the former was here before after being removed, don't remember why. and the latter is present on Multiup. Speaking of which, maybe upload the file twice to multiup but with different hosts? Is the script even capable of selecting different hosts? I see they're only the default.

                   THE CHANGING WORLD

[SubsPlease] 1080p 1.20GB episode (typical):
1.20GB = 1,200mb
Zippy @12mb/sec = 100sec, about 1.5 min per show
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec = 2,400sec, about 40 min per show
----------------------------
12GB torrent:
Zippy @12mb/sec, about 15 min
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec, about 6hrs 40 min
------------------------------
24GB torrent:
Zippy @12mb/sec, about 30 min
Anonfiles and many @ 500kb/sec, about 13 hour


p.s. pixeldrain and others had blocked AT's uploads after a few days/weeks, as I recall.
25/03/2023 13:32 — Anonymous: "concerned_citizen"
Welp thats sad but if you want that much quality on your chinese cartoons that fast you're gonna have to pay it seems. Top size for a normal episode for me is under 300mb and with hevc/av1 can't really complain there.
Thanks for the info on pixeldrain. Might not have happened if there was some load balancing with another host like I sugested.
25/03/2023 00:37 — Anonymous
when you have anonfiles, why do you need anymore similar services?
25/03/2023 13:38 — Anonymous: "concerned_citizen"
Redundacy maybe? It s trivial to implement. Just an idea to fill the void zippyshare will be leaving.
I think the multiup suggestion is better though.
26/03/2023 03:41 — Anonymous
Exactly. all of them are clones of anonfiles, the owners of anonfiles selves.
26/03/2023 09:30 — admin
Thanks for the suggestions.
The script should be able to select the hosts on MultiUp, but it might be broken now. I don't particularly like the idea of uploading twice, as it's like trying to get around limits they've imposed.
24/03/2023 09:24 — Anonymous
That's pretty terrible. I wonder what a good replacement would be, I used to get 1GBit from zippyshare and it worked in parallel, very hassle free, the highest I can get from the rest is maybe clicknupload 1MB/s, while the others are clearly throttling non-paying users. Are there any alternatives that are as good and would fit the site's needs?
24/03/2023 09:37 — Anonymous
I saturate my entire bandwidth with usenet
24/03/2023 19:47 * — Anonymous
I think Zippy shows that there can be no illusion of a working business model anymore so I'm not expecting any hot new finds.  I'd be happy to be wrong.

Of the current here right now for me,
Kraken: Speeds as good as Zippy, sometimes.  Finding those times is the trick.  Otherwise, maybe 1-2mb/sec.
DownloadGG: Pretty fast but they remove some files quick, presumably for rights.
ClickUpload: as you said.


Usenet, for any who don't know, is for those who are willing to use a credit card  and don't care about being anonymous.  I'm happy to have such folk around for the lawyers to feed on instead of looking for me.  I wouldn't recommend anyone give up the protections of being anonymous, but it's their life.
31/03/2023 13:31 — Anonymous
Thanks for the review. Kraken seems very usable and seems to also have decent retention here on AT, speed not as good as zippy, but fine (2-20MB/s, zippy can easily reach 1Gbps on most of their servers). No captcha or other annoyances at least and download can be scripted.
As for the usenet suggestion: free usenet can be had, but it's either slow(500KB/s-1MB/s on free providers) or it's as even more hassle to get both fast and free as the paid DDL providers - I mostly bother with it when every other option failed. At that point just using torrents with a proxy setup that doesn't leak your IP (harder than you think to get right without just outright buying a seedbox, but very doable if you know what you're doing) is less hassle than high speed usenet without actually paying for it yourself, but torrenting through a proxy, even if can be very fast (I've maxed out 1Gbps before) hurts the torrent as seeding doesn't work nearly as well (can't open a listen port for wide majority of proxies and even some VPN providers that are supposed to do this right get it wrong often).

How do I filter for folders. Like I'm looking for av1. But I want to see only multi-file torrents. Not all such batch torrents have batch in their titles. So what search words should I feed in the search box.

I didnt need to s.t. like that and I am not familiar with the shpinx search options, but try messing around. Well "S0?-E?? av1" didnt really do what's wanted but somewhat that direction probably.

Unfortunately, there's currently no filter that can explicitly do that.
If you're ambitious, the database exports allow you to do filtering/searches in whatever way you please.

Hi admin,

It’s been forever since I made a comment (and if I didn’t thank you way back, thanks for adding the year to the Series pages!)

On the Series Updates page (/animes) would it be possible to add some sort of date-time marker?

I use that page the most, but it’s hard to know when you’ve scrolled down into stuff you looked at prior to the reload.  It also means I tend to load Older Entries a lot because I can’t tell if I’m still in new additions.

Zippyshare Announcement
Information about the closure of the project
March 19, 2023
Hey Folks,

We’ve decided that we’re shutting down the project at the end of the month. Please make backups of your important files, you have about two weeks to do so. Until then, the site will run without any changes.

There are several reasons for the closure:

– Since 2006 we have been on the market in an unchanged form, that is, as ad financed/free file hosting. However, you have been visiting in less and less over the years, as the arguably very simple formula of the services we offer is slowly running out of steam. I guess all the competing file storage service companies on the market look better, offer better performance and more features. No one needs a dinosaur like us anymore.

– All sorts of adblockers, whether built into the browser, as add-ons, or in the form of DNS services. Sure, we all use them, but they take away any control the site owner has over the site. Eventually we get to the point where a vicious cycle begins, in order to pay for the server infrastructure you are forced to place more and more ads, then users fire up more and more adblockers and we get to a point like today.

– Rising electricity prices. Over the past year, electricity prices have gone up 2.5 times, which, with a large number of servers, gives a significant increase in costs that we have no way to balance.

There are still a bunch of smaller reasons, but we could write a book on this, and probably no one would want to read it.

To sum it up, we can no longer afford to maintain the site.

You can send us any comments to (we’ll read them all, we’ll probably respond to just a few):
support@zippyshare.com

Thanks for being with us over the years.
