how to use NZB,,i am a newbie

do u have a usenet acc?
21/04/2023 20:36 — Anonymous
As suggested, usenet access requires a usenet provider, account and credit card.  Look for providers with google.  I would say paying in general isn't popular here, for several reasons.
22/04/2023 00:29 — Anonymous
get a usenet provider like newshosting, eweka or frugalusenet (they are all paid, but you can split with other people), add it to sabnzbd (https://sabnzbd.org/downloads). Once that's done just drag & drop the file provided by AT or double click the unzipped .nzb

Question. Do you know why yugen hell's paradise dual doesn't show up?

https://nyaa.si/view/1661293
it's like the only thing missing I can't figure out why
https://nyaa.si/user/Nuna75
https://animetosho.org/search?q=yugen

is there a reason for it, or some random things and will the other episodes show up?

Hmmm .... deleted ... why? Idk can they mark s.t. as deleted and then bring it back if it was mistake?
Else probably some error at AT
22/04/2023 18:16 — Anonymous
most likely it didn't show up on a later Nyaa scrap for a while for some reason so the system here marked it as deleted
22/04/2023 18:33 — Anonymous
Nyaa has DDOS protection(s).  It probably causes occasional problems and delays.
22/04/2023 18:48 — Anonymous
That's unfortunate. Is there a keyword to search in deleted torrents too? In RSS
22/04/2023 19:08 — Anonymous
I don't use RSS but I would doubt it.  Entries marked as deleted are removed from AT's listings and searches.  It's more a matter of if you know of a specific missing entry finding the reason, like it being in wrong category on Nyaa.
23/04/2023 02:38 — admin
For some reason, Nyaa sometimes reports files as deleted (404 page), but reverts it later - this was the case for this entry.
I've gone and fixed it, thanks!
23/04/2023 06:11 — Anonymous
Ah ok. Out of interest: those periodic checks from AT - do they also check on deleted items (idk may limit few weeks after creation) on of they are actually not deleted and reverse that automaticallly? Or is it not worth the effort, dunno how often that does happen?
23/04/2023 16:00 — Anonymous
I don't think it happens much.  People notice and ask about things they were waiting for being missing.
24/04/2023 11:40 — admin
Deleted items do get rechecked, but the interval is rather long.
I don't know if they're actually deleted and reverted - I've seen Nyaa report entries to be deleted (or rather, 404) but don't appear to be, likely suggesting some glitch on their side, though this seems to mostly be for new entries (which is usually why some entries get missed here).
24/04/2023 16:54 — Anonymous
I did get 404 every now and then too simply accessing the page. Maybe too overloaded then and/or a mehanism to slow requests down? Maybe it would be worth adding a mechanism to just mark as deleted but leave it still searchable, only if it got 2,3 repeated 404 remove it from common listing?
Or - maybe on 404 do other files get those too? It probably depends on how you do request that. Hope note all at once but probably best in packages. Anyway (also on single requests) you could save results first, compare last idk 5? results and if all are 404 add delay, then retry.
24/04/2023 18:05 — Anonymous
if we're talking about the yugen example, ep 1 had been here long enough that no one complained about not being able to find it.  Three weeks later, and almost no one probably would still be looking to get it.  Such a thing would not be worth much additional effort.

The initial scrape problem is more interesting, but appears usually self-correcting.
24/04/2023 18:18 — Anonymous
This idea was about the initial scap .....
24/04/2023 19:55 — Anonymous
For such a scheme to be useful there would have to be an initial success followed by failures, which would be a very limited thing here, I believe.  Until a success, there would be nothing to re-check.

The last failed scrap I know of was [Pizza] Maison Ikkoku - 15 [BD 720p HEVC Opus].  After it was manually added it has remained here, as have all of the other 15 episodes over the last several weeks.  I don't think there was an initial success of ep15 followed by failures.

Setting up a multi-sampling, multi-status new system at a busy place like this would require a very significant proof of need.
24/04/2023 20:49 — Anonymous
You still didnt seem to understand it. Without knowledge of how scrapping is done & co imo it doesnt even make sense to continue to talk about it.
25/04/2023 00:22 — admin
I ultimately don't know how common this occurs, but it does automatically get rectified most of the time, but may take a while.
There are retries in place, but it doesn't eliminate the issue. For example, if there's a 10% chance of failure, a single retry reduces this to 1% (assuming 0% correlation across requests, which isn't the case). I'm tweaking the strategy to lessen the likelihood of failures, but what you'll see are the residual cases where the automation didn't succeed.

Thanks for the suggestions nonetheless!

Huh, yeah it seems the glitch as mentioned above may have happened again today with the same show, Nirvana's release of Hell's Paradise, but I can wait until it gets scraped later today.

Not rly, you can check, c&u has has time as AT, while gofile has same time as nyaa. There was a good 2h delay. Still that probably had nothing to do with deletions but probably slow upload
24/04/2023 16:25 — Anonymous
Ok so how did you check? I mean did you watch the startpage or even enter the id manually on a link? Did it actually show deleted?
Or did you only check Episode/Series/Search? Second case can also simply be a slow torrent upload or many files at once in which case you simply have to be patient.
25/04/2023 00:23 — admin
Actually that one was originally posted to Non-English, so was skipped over initially.

Oh cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll give it more time before I post anything about missing torrents going forward.

ADMIN Request

Would it be possible to set links like ddL's that go to another website, to open up in a new tab instead of opening in the same?  
It's more a convenience request than anything else. Normally we have right click for a context menu and choose "Open in New Tab" to get the link into a new tab.

Thanks
26/04/2023 14:24 — Anonymous
what clicking on a link does is a setting in your browser.  mine is set to open links in a new tab.
26/04/2023 15:43 — Anonymous
Only half true. Admin could add target="_blank". But yeah, that's not needed. Depending on browser you can config it in settings or firefox f.e. about:config the browser.link.open_newwindow settings (esp. external). Or you could hold the STRG key. You could also use addons (even on specific sites only).
26/04/2023 21:37 — Anonymous
we've been down this road before, the site is not going to modified for something like this.  learn to use your browser settings.
27/04/2023 11:04 — Anonymous
Understandable request but this can be really subjective to people and admin might not approve it. What solution I can offer is clicking the scroll wheel instead.

I use that everywhere but ymmv if you use trackpad or mobile
27/04/2023 13:14 — admin
Thanks for the request. Forcing links to open in a new window/tab has become somewhat less desirable as it takes away user choice.
If it helps, you can also open them using middle-click, which will put it in a new tab on most browsers.

Hi Admin

Most of the NZB's between 18.00 and 21.38 were not generated yesterday. Any chance you can run them again please?
27/04/2023 13:15 — admin
I've put them through again, so they should come through now.
Thanks for the report.

Question: Could the infotext on comments be made more visible? Ppl barely read that unnoticeable as it is. I mean I didnt read that too back then resp. even read the faq before. ^^ Now simply making it bigger would move the submit button further down. I am against a have-read-checkbox (while moving the text below). So best option might be to put it inside the message as placeholder? (additionally maybe a short script with a green line like: "Thank you for complying with these terms, on further questions please read the <link>FAQ."
Maybe it will help on what to posts and not waste time on.
07/05/2023 15:11 — Anonymous
Just thought about compatibility too: https://caniuse.com/?search=placeholder probably ie quirk for current text bit bigger would prob. be enough. Note there are few limitations on placehholder esp. compatibility wise. Check f.e. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7312623/
07/05/2023 19:15 — Anonymous
I like your optimism about getting people to read and comply with instructions under any conditions, but I believe those who do do, and those who don't don't.

Instead, the value of the instructions  and the FAQ are to give quick definitive responses when needed to those who don't. (example: reupload links? No.)
07/05/2023 19:36 — Anonymous
Yeah, the problem is expecting first users reading through FAQ is probably a bit too much. And the infos on episodes are actualyl short and informative but just not visible enough. So they simply ask because they dont understand at is only a mirror.
08/05/2023 15:44 — Anonymous
I think the mirror is an education issue, not font size.  I don't know if there is any better way to explain it.

On other fronts, I think people are pretty aware and compliant.  For example, when told about reuploads they don't continue to request them.
08/05/2023 19:12 — Anonymous
Yeah sure, educational. But I think that line is pretty easy to understand, still many do ask: "Anime Tosho provides a mirror of torrents and is not the source. Please understand that uploaders/submitters may not read comments here, so you should check the Source Links section near the top of this page if you wish to contact them"
Also "Expired links do NOT get reuploaded as files are deleted after we process them" is quite clear. That "told to" is the problem. Is it nessecary to sush others away on their first post here, quite the many times hours latter with a simple that doesnt belong here, while it had been clear on the lines below?

Of course there will always be those not reading anything regardless how much you might even would force them. But again its quite invisible at the very least on desctop, phone is some zoomed in but you might just see it once you search the send button.
Also note that this could be added to feedback page too, as ppl ask, though I admit rarely here. But it probably would need a slightly adapted text on what the feedback is for.
10/05/2023 13:19 — admin
As you point out, the problem with placeholders is that they disappear the moment you enter anything. And I don't see a "thank you" line really clarifying anything - as you say "nothing important, right?".

You yourself said that you saw the text, just chose to ignore it. Which to me says that it's quite visible as it is, it's just a question of user motivation.

Personally, I don't ascribe that much importance to the text at this stage. If commenters not reading it becomes a major issue, it can be addressed then - I don't see any need to do anything now.
10/05/2023 16:06 — Anonymous
I think there is a difference in some heavy difference in some small text one is unlikely to read and some readable oneliner, probably bold, green, popping in to confirm a change. So I dont agree with the missuse of "nothing important"

I said maybe - I can't remember. But if - it was def. after writing already. And that's the point. Elsewhere, if you got s.t. to read on before, you typicall have a checkbox at the very least. I think it's better to not have that but you should be able to read helpful info before you're going to send it. I hope that point is clear?

Idk maybe its also helpfull if the text would be above the Msg. May no additional line but the infotext turns green once writing. I am bad at ideas what could actually be wise on design, just ideas throwing in.
10/05/2023 17:12 — Anonymous
Being bothered by comments is bad.  It would be better for some people to use the mirror site and avoid pointless aggravation.  If you want to help someone by responding to their comments, that's fine.  If you don't want to, that's fine too.
10/05/2023 17:50 — Anonymous
What aggravation? Maybe I've been missunderstood? And I dont get how it still cant be clear that there are improvements that could be made for newcomers rather than even in the very nicest words basically tell "your post is a waste of effort and time, there are sources you could have read, go elsewhere", while the current implentation to prevent that can easilly be missed and seems useless in those cases. Guess I am speaking some foreign language.
10/05/2023 18:37 — Anonymous
And sry for being a bother, but this does indeed concern in the end also all that post to new ones. Also generally someone might have even a better idea. But thanks for telling me to go away, is it supposed that way?
11/05/2023 12:07 — admin
Oops, I responded to the wrong comment.

I can see that you have a particular way of approaching things, but hopefully you can see that others may approach things differently. I appreciate the input you bring, but I don't see a large enough issue to warrant further changes at this stage.
09/05/2023 09:27 — admin
Thanks for the suggestion. I've slightly adjusted the styling - does that work better?
I didn't really want it to be too 'in your face', as it's meant to be more of a gentle guideline.
09/05/2023 21:02 — Anonymous
Hm, I dont rly think so. Well let me explain what I thought back than: "I simply didnt take note of that text. Maybe took note of it when searching for submit button. But I mean it so small, nothing important, right? Who cares. There is nothing I have to confirm to agree to. I've wrote all that already so lets give it a go." The changes would probably not lead to any differnt behaviour.
As placeholder it would be directly visible no matter if the window is small, you might have visual problems, ... whatever as it will be same place/size as your main text/what you're about to write. And the script (well terms might be even too harsh, may "Thank you for understanding what the comment section is for" simply s.t.) to inform you that there is some usefull info -in case you imediately did click and start to write-, which might save you the time to ask, wait and get a reply that might demotivate you.

there are also problems like losing ddl services.  Many ddl are not available now to AT due to it's current load.

It would be better if you thought about offered your own private ddl from your own website.   Others have done than in the past, like Tibb.
08/05/2023 17:09 — Anonymous
offering to help with the usenet stuff actually ensures longevity as those files will rarely get taken down, unlike a ddl service (even a self hosted one)
08/05/2023 17:40 — Anonymous
I believe well over 90% are here for ddl.  I wouldn't ever use a paid service and leave a trail like with usenet.  One day I plan to walk away, anon to the happy end.
08/05/2023 19:52 — Anonymous
There are methods to stay completely anon, but that's not the point here. Usenet offers retention unseen on any other place, it is by far the best archival tool for everyone, not the most accessible, but if a ddl link is dead someone with access to usenet can just redownload and share once again.
09/05/2023 01:24 — Anonymous
Usenet doesn't count as an archive to me.  At five years expected file life it is neither fish nor fowl.

Usenet has two strange qualities:

1. The only download method where members try to recruit.
2. The only download method where advocates aren't willing to do anything.  Seems like it would be easy to rent a seed box and upload if they wanted to.

The anon hopes you have don't pass scrutiny for me.
09/05/2023 02:04 — Anonymous
I don't recall asking for your input
10/05/2023 17:26 — Anonymous
Most importantly, usenet has nothing that I want.  I don't know how it entered the conversation, but I'm not interested in anything anyone has to say about it.  

But enjoy talking to each other.
09/05/2023 09:49 — Anonymous
Usenet has been around longer than any other file host/archive. As well as more diversity than any other when it comes to what's saved on it. All accessible to every member.  But it seems to have the least amount of advertising. That or google is trying to hide it from net surfers because it has more than any other host does.

My DeBrid is totallly anon. all users stay behind their firewall making sure were completely masked. subscribers can keep files for 500 torrents stored on account, regardless of file sizes. and can acess them thru a streaming app if desired.  $30 for 10mo. It's hard to let go  But now that i've got fiber optic (500MBit down/up)  looking to get a usenet account. Still haven't decided on which one. Anything long term can't be rushed.  Choice is important.  
09/05/2023 09:34 — admin
What are you looking for exactly?
Appreciate the offer, though I likely won't take you up on it. Still, if you provide more details, I can evaluate it more wholesomely.

In general, I make a point of not taking on too much. AT isn't about satisfying everyone's wants - if it's quite feasible/doable, it might happen, otherwise I strongly suggest others take on the job.

If you're looking for the Usenet upload script, it's freely available here.

Admin: You may well know by now, but MAL has been hacked (again) so if you have any background calls to their API they're probably going to start failing if they haven't already.
Just FYI.

Hello Admin,

After you added the correction for BT.709, I do see a huge difference compared to before as the screenshot appears less altered.
Though, I still wonder if there isn't some loss because the "lossless" extraction of a frame on my side makes a way bigger png than the one from AT's screenshot ?

I thought that maybe it's due to the hardsubbing of the image ? Or maybe some extra compression of png files from your server ?

I appreciate what you did already and I hope we can figure out how to make it look even more "like it".

Thanks again <3 !
14/05/2023 12:06 — admin
Thanks for looking into this more. A few things:

* you can remove the '?s=#' at the end of the URL to remove (not render) the subtitles
* pixel-identical PNGs can have different sizes due to the compression used (the screenshot renderer here actually uses a fast PNG compressor which likely results in larger sizes than the typical PNG encoders (i.e. opposite to what you're seeing))
* you can do a pixel level comparison and examine the differences
* note that PNG uses RGB colour, so the YCrCb 4:2:0 -> RGB renderer can vary the output (e.g. different chroma upsampling, rounding, dither etc) - in some respect this can be considered 'lossy', though it's ultimately unavoidable (since a to-RGB conversion needs to happen somewhere). This means that you can get slight differences depending on the renderer

The renderer here uses libswscale for colour conversion, using a bicubic chroma upscaler with the 'full_chroma_int' and 'accurate_rnd' options. Everything else is default.

You can post an example comparison to demonstrate what should be improved if you wish.
