Hey Admin, is there another way to know what is happening with the site, be side waiting to come back online? like another site where there is some kind of notice to your users.

I don't really have anything unfortunately.
Someone made a Discord channel, which is linked on the left, but I'm not really a Discord person, so don't post updates there. You can still probably find some info there though.

Admin-san, if the badmen ever block the tosho url, I hope you can do the thing that other anime sites do where the url changes to one of the gazillion available domain extensions. It's a pain but at least it seems that when sites change to .is or .pe or whatever it can last a while before needing changed again.
10/10/2024 13:43 — admin
I don't plan to do such. If this domain is lost for whatever reason, that's the end of this site.

Ah. The "1 million angory NEETS leave their bedrooms all at once" scenario? TPTB have wargamed that, and it's a situ they want to avoid. At all costs.

Hopefully something like that doesn't happen for a good long while, but as I wouldn't get the chance after, I want to thank you now for all you've done over the years. The mirroring is greatly appreciated and the ability to get attachments from various releases has been incredibly useful to me. Thanks!

"If this domain is lost for whatever reason, that's the end of this site."

Nooooooo...

This place is like a shrine to me, take some responsibility man! There is an invisible community here that depend on you. And many of us would want to help should our holy animetosho ever be threatened with closure.

I can't believe the person that built this place hasn't got a plan for continuity. ok, my headcannon is saying that the admins have plans but they're not giving anything away on the public chat. In which case there is no need for the admins to answer me here.

It's ok anon, the animetosho is run by various Tanukis, Kitunes, Yureis, Kappas and of course there is an Oni or two. We'll be ok. Say a prayer, ring a bell, give thanks and praise to the kami-samas of free anime

hello señor tosho man, I have a question regarding how nntp and NZB works, I'm trying to make my own lib for streaming nzbs without needing to download them, and I got everything except decoding the data, when I grab an NZB segment with the BODY command, how do I decode the text into binary data? I realize this is partially off topic, but I know you're informed enough to know as I couldn't find much info on this myselfm
10/10/2024 10:59 — Anonymous
I guess more of an accurate question is what encoding does the article body use
10/10/2024 13:45 — admin
I'm guessing you're looking for yEnc - you can find the spec here.
Best of luck with your project!
10/10/2024 14:55 — Anonymous
yeah, i'm struggling a bit with the nzb structure, i have no clue how to get the article id for the body request of a segment from an nzb
10/10/2024 15:07 — Anonymous
nvm figured it out, just gotta figure out why the output data length is different
```js
const [, text] = await this.nntp.body(`<${segment.messageId}>`)
const textEncoder = new TextEncoder()
const data = yencode.decode(textEncoder.encode(text))
console.log(data.length, segment.size)
```

and i get `1306341 739519` which is annoying

I also noticed a lot of white space, idk if i should be stripping that
```

yeah I have no idea how to use ur node-yencode lib, i have an article body and i cannot find a way to parse it into a buffer or uint8
10/10/2024 16:05 — Anonymous
notably i'm using tosho's own nzbs to and tosho's own yencode parser and i can get it to work, does the lib not support multipart? from_post doesnt work at all, and manually removing the yencode metadata like =yend and =start and parsing the data via yencode.decode returns 1306159 bytes instead of 716800
10/10/2024 16:16 * — admin
I suspect the issue is your usage of TextEncoder. yEnc is not text - it's binary, so encoding it to UTF-8 is incorrect.
You need to be passing the raw bytes received from the network to the yEnc decoder. Note that the body will contain yEnc headers/footers, so you'll need to either handle these yourself or use functions that do so (yencode.decode doesn't take care of the headers).
10/10/2024 16:24 — Anonymous
yeah i assumed that was the issue, that's very annoying to say the least, since that means i cant treat the data stream as text :/
10/10/2024 16:32 — admin
If it helps, you can probably do a UTF-8 decode before sending it to the decoder, as long as the data doesn't otherwise get mangled. You'll lose some performance with doing a round trip through UTF-8, so ideally you shouldn't, but it'll likely work.
10/10/2024 16:41 — Anonymous
nope, utf8 mangles the data :/

i'll need to rewrite my entire nntp lib for this, since it treats the data as strings, and it clearly cannot, oh well
10/10/2024 21:26 — Anonymous
many hours later, it works \o/ can now stream tosho's nzb's without needing to wait for them to download, thanks for the help
11/10/2024 01:09 — admin
Nice work!
12/10/2024 07:55 — Anonymous
are you able to share the code?
12/10/2024 08:16 — Anonymous
It's for TS, specifically NodeJS with strip-types/Deno/Bun, aka only experimental shit, I don't compile it to JS.

https://github.com/ThaUnknown/nzb-file

you give it an nzb file's contents as a string, it parses it and gives you back an array of file objects that mimmic W3C's structure, this means if you have any library which consumes W3C file objects, you can give it this library's output, and it will assume it's working with file objects, when in practice it's streamed real-time via nntp

downstream it uses 2 of my libs:
https://github.com/ThaUnknown/nzb-parser
https://github.com/ThaUnknown/nntp-js
I've not yet figured out how to establish a TLS connection from start, so you'll need to do raw TCP first, and then upgrade it to TLS via .starttls(), feel free to PR a fix for that

thx

if you need to transfer binary data through a text interface you can make use of base64 or some similar encoding, the it only enlarges the datastream somehow (base64 about 1/3) but sometimes its easier to encapsulate something then finding a way to get an alternative/"out of band" stream ...

Hello admin, good day o night to you. I have a query, I want to search for a release with a folder / batch of (ex; Mushoku Tensei) instead of single episode how do I do that, is it possible? tiaX.
11/10/2024 04:30 * — admin
There's no specific filters to exclude non-batches, but you'll likely find that most of the recent stuff are batches, as single episodes don't often get posted after a show has finished airing. Alternatively, you can try sorting by size, since batches will tend to be larger than single episodes.
11/10/2024 15:44 — Anonymous
Understand. Thank you :3
12/10/2024 08:20 — Anonymous
how does one sort by size?, I couldn't find any sort options
12/10/2024 12:44 — admin
Above the listing, there's three drop-down boxes. The second one gives you the option to sort. Select that and hit Apply.
12/10/2024 09:42 — Anonymous
it would be grate if you could also search for strings like filenames, torrent info hashes and nyaa.si IDs, please implement that
12/10/2024 12:46 * — admin
I believe the search already indexes filenames, so give it a try.
For the other two, you can use the URL formation:

https://animetosho.org/view/<hex encoded info hash>
https://animetosho.org/view/n<Nyaa ID>

i had a problem finding a torrent by a filename within that torrent (maybe because it contained some special characters), i was then able to find it by a substring (removing [] signs and stuff), so yea its probable file name are searched but the whole filename string where not found in my case. The thing is i sometimes want to find back a file deep down in my torrents list and therefore it would be really helpful if you could just could search for unique IDs like the infohash...

also i typed i some anime nae and got a list of torrents and to find which of those i had i had to open the page source code to search the infohash there, made it finally but it would be much easier if you would use some newlines in your html code and dont put everyhthing in a very very long line...

regards
12/10/2024 21:15 — Anonymous
thats nice that this works with some url-aliases but why not also put it in that search form , especially that info hash is so unique that you can detect it and then just skip to the info page skipping search resoults, i mean from a user perspective, now i know there are url-aliaess but the normal thing to do would be using a search box and not trying some urls that most users wouldnt be aware of existing...
13/10/2024 11:39 — admin
You can try enclosing terms in quotes for results to match more precisely, which might help, otherwise it's a keyword based search.

I don't understand why you're needing to look at the page source. It's minified (whitespace removed) to minimise bandwidth consumption.
If you want a list of info hashes, I make database exports available which you can use to search on.

Thanks for the suggestion on search. I had originally thought about using it to search for file hashes instead, but that never got implemented, and, now that I think about it, redirecting on info hash doesn't really interfere with such a feature.
So if you put an info hash in the search, it should now redirect you.

You can use the [view latest] link near the top of the page, find the comment, and the link will be in the link labelled "Comment".

why does the rate limited response from the json api give `503 Service Unavailable` and not `429 Too Many Requests`?
well i think its a rate limit?
19/10/2024 06:27 — Anonymous
i spent a solid hour plus one sleep wondering why one specific request was only getting 503'ed
19/10/2024 12:46 * — admin
Requests are rate limited to prevent misbehaving clients from overloading the server.
nginx defaults to sending HTTP 503, likely because 429 is a relatively newly defined HTTP return code.
I can change it, though it's always been 503 for as long as this site has existed.

Sorry for your lost time.

you should add rate limit details to the FAQ page
20/10/2024 01:20 * — admin
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm rather reluctant to add details of such, as I don't promise anything and like to be able to change how it works when necessary. I also consider the limits to be relatively generous and don't want to encourage getting close to the limits.
You (as a human) generally shouldn't hit them under normal usage; as for applications/scripts you'll need to be considerate and space out the requests to not overload the server. I don't have any concrete guideline, but if you're hitting the limit, you're querying way too fast.

I don't believe limits to be unusual - practically every sizable website implements them, and they almost never provide any details.

If you need a lot of data, I provide database exports for that.
20/10/2024 05:25 — Anonymous
only reason i was hitting the limits was because i was making concurrent requests.
also what kind of rate limiting do you have? like burst or normal (one request every x sec) it feels like its normal
21/10/2024 11:57 — admin
There are several limits in place.
It might be best to avoid concurrent requests, and space them apart to avoid hitting the limits.

There is color options for newfags. But once you've put in a few years here you will come to understand the joys of the new seasons colors, and the sadness as we say goodbye to the previous schema.

Where the site design and color schemes originate we dare not ask, we are not worthy. The internet historians of 2099 will wonder at the artisan that designs the site in the same way we wonder at someone like Van Gogh. We find ourselves asking - How?...Why? and, Where even do the colors like this come from? and crucially: Why do I like it? We do not know, and if we did we would not be able to express it with language. We can only sit back in silent wonder.
